LETTERS FROM THE BEFORE

 

A collection of soul messages from the versions of you that knew—before you were asked to disappear.

​

There was a time you didn’t shrink.
Didn’t question your magic.
Didn’t second-guess your softness or your fire.
That version of you still exists.

​

These letters were written from there.
From the memory beyond the noise.
From the you who danced too loudly, believed too boldly, asked too many questions—and hadn’t yet learned to apologize for being alive.

​

This is not nostalgia.
This is soul retrieval.

​

🕯 WHO WRITES THESE LETTERS?

• The child you who didn’t yet know how to perform

• The teenage you who saw the cracks in everything but didn’t have the language

• The version of you that tried one last time to speak their truth before going quiet

• The ancestor-you, the future-you, the still-here-anyway-you

• The you who was whole before the world broke told you YOU were broken

​

💌 WHY THEY EXIST

These letters are:

• Not pep talks.

• Not affirmations.

• Not scripts to get better.

 

They’re witnesses.
They’re what’s left after the noise.
They’re what didn’t die when everything else tried to.

​

You don’t need to fix anything to read them.
You don’t need to believe in anything.
You just need to be willing to remember.

​

🔑 HOW TO ENTER

✨ Read a letter. Let it settle.
🖋 Write your own. One you wish someone had sent.
🔥 Burn one (be safe!). Release what’s been choking you.
📥 Submit yours. Let someone else receive the thing they didn’t know they needed.

Because sometimes the most healing thing isn’t becoming someone new.
It’s finally listening to the self you were before the systems got to you.

🛑 WHAT THIS IS NOT

• These are not advice columns.

• These are not productivity tools.

• These are not for fixing.

 

They are keys to parts of yourself you thought were gone.
They are mirrors for your oldest truth.
