Do you write letters to yourself in this game?

I do because its easier to write letters to myself than it is for writing to other villagers
 
I don't feel inclined to write letters in general in NH, but I did write a letter to myself back in late 2022! I had just fractured my left ankle/foot, was in my last year of school and had just adopted Bonk a couple months prior, so I thought it'd be fun to write a letter to my future self asking how my fracture healed, if I graduated, how Bonk was doing etc. I arranged to receive it exactly one year later. I actually ended up forgetting about it, so receiving it was a nice surprise!

I feel like this reads kind of depressing now that I'm looking at it again LOL, but I swear it's not!!
 
I did utilize the feature once or twice to send an item/s to myself that might hold significance in the future (aka a time capsule). It’s pretty neat that you can do that. Other than that, I haven’t used it much.
 
I sometimes write random notes to my alts when I order something off nook shopping. but otherwise, I don't send myself letters.
 
I never considered doing that but I think that’d be kinda fun! :D Maybe on my second island once I get back to doing it since I want to try to not tting for that file (aside from maybe the tutorial lol).
 
I used to write letters to myself A LOT in New Leaf, but in New Horizons.. not so much? Which is SO ODD because I used to LOVE writing letters to not just myself, but to my villagers also. But in NH, I haven't felt the urge/need to write any letters 💀
 
I had no idea you could do this, that’s a cute idea to forget about it and then be surprised when it turns up in the future! I’ve never done it myself but I might now :)
 
Yes!! I sent one to myself for a year after release, and I have been trying to do so since. It's a really nice feature and makes me smile when I read what my past self had to say in the brief words available.
 
No. I haven't had a need to do so, but I probably wouldn't mind doing so in future Animal Crossing games.

I time travel, so I'd always wonder when or if the letter would wind up in my possession again.
 
No, I haven't done that yet, it kinda feels a bit pointless. It might be fun when the letter you wrote gets finally back to you though!
 
i really should step up my letter writing game because i still wish to complete the pen pals achievement 😔

i might start sending myself silly letters just to complete that since i never send any letters out, i always forget that’s a thing
