A small book for anyone in search of hope, looking for a path to a more meaningful life, or in need of encouragement.

“Happiness occurs when you forget who you're expected to be. And what you're expected to do. Happiness is an accident of self-acceptance. It's the warm breeze you feel when you open the door to who you are.”

Years ago, Matt Haig began writing notes to his future self. These notes were meant as gifts to his future self: offerings of hope to help himself through anything from the darkest periods of his life to a not-so-great day.

Quotes

  • Jessehas quoted2 years ago
    You have felt other things. You will feel other things again.
  • Ellada Ahas quoted3 years ago
    To feel hope you don’t need to be in a great situation. You just need to understand that things will change. Hope is available to all. You don’t need to deny the reality of the present in order to have hope, you just need to know the future is uncertain, and that life contains light as well as dark.
  • May Trinandahas quoted3 months ago
    I value each moment that is not spent in pain, desperation, hunger, thirst, or loneliness.
