write letters to yourself (even if you're single)

Описание: this video is about why writing letters, especially love letters, is one of the most underrated psychological tools for relationships and self-understanding.
you won't remember the text they sent, but you'll remember the letter they wrote you forever. and there's actual science behind why that happens.
writing letters hits half a dozen psychological and physiological levers at once. it gives you instant clarity about your feelings. it makes you choose your words more carefully. it boosts oxytocin and lowers cortisol. it synchronizes heart rates. it creates a 5 to 1 ratio of positive to negative words. and it literally rewrites your memories through your hippocampus.
there was a study at university of texas where couples who wrote three relationship letters to each other had a 77% chance of staying together three months later, compared to 50-something percent for couples who didn't write letters. the couples who wrote letters also started using more positive words in everyday conversation without even trying.
in this video, i split the advice into two parts: if you're in a relationship (crush, situationship, partnership, whatever), and if you're single, heartbroken, or solo.
for relationships, letters give you clarity, reduce stress, bond you through oxytocin, make you more careful with words, and create a physical object that proves love exists even when your partner isn't there. i also walk through a simple weekly letter structure you can start using immediately.
for single people, i talk about self-compassion letters, letters to your past self, and letters to your ideal future relationship. these build self-worth, heal attachment wounds, reframe breakups, and prepare you for healthier partnerships.
this isn't about being romantic for the sake of aesthetics. it's about using a low-tech habit that actually changes how your brain processes emotions, memories, and connection.
