Message in a Bottle

by Alex's Heart founder Dariya Dobreva

The project for this month is called “Message in a Bottle” or, also, “Letter to My Future Self” The inspiration for the project is the New Year. I had an amazing 2017, full of new people and exiting moments. In the beginning of 2018 I wanted to challenge myself in a way. So I decided to start a project where I can put all my expectations, hopes and wishes in one message in a bottle to my future self.

I brought the idea to my groups and, just like myself, everyone was excited about the project. No matter how crazy the message will be, it is something to look forward to. When we open the message it in the end of the year, we can say “Yes, I have accomplish what I wanted“ or “Hey, I forgot to do this and how crazy I was to try to challenge myself!“.

It’s all about the hope and our dreams. I had someone ask me “What if i can’t finish anything on my list?”.

And you know what - it’s ok if we don’t accomplish our dreams immediately. Dreams change and people change as well. What matters is that we all do something we enjoy! Every project, ever little challenge is a step forward to the persons we will become in the future.

That’s why the message in the bottle to yourself just to remind us in the end of the year that we can do anything we want; to remind us that no matter how crazy things can be, we strive to accomplish and reach dreams we sometimes think are too far away.

“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” Confucius

What is your dream expectation for this year?

Challenge yourself: choose something that you wish to do and it’s a scary thing for you. Show yourself that dreams don’t have limits!
