August 1: Dear Me, Right Now
18 Love Letters
I wanted to write a long, extensive love letter to myself for my birthday. And I wanted to make August very special for me. In recent years I've really learned to sit with myself, to understand me and enjoy my own company. I genuinely crave this closeness to myself, and when life becomes crowded and fast-paced, I miss me. So I asked ChatGPT to create 18 prompts, one to write to myself each day until my birthday (August 18), which would eventually add up to the extensive love letter. I want to publish it here for a few reasons. One, so that I commit to continuing. And more importantly, so that I have it cemented somewhere, a place I can revisit and read whenever I need to.
