A few people have voiced interest in doing another take on one of our previous writing prompts. You might remember a few months ago when we wrote letters to our younger selves. Now, we’re going to write a letter to our future selves 15 years from now. Give advice, insight, etc. I remember how creative you all got with the last one, can’t wait to see this one!
*Remember: This is a writing prompt. Please create a post on your blog in response to the prompt. Then, come back here, and leave the URL to your blog post in the comments so we can all see your letter. We love the love!
**If you are a newcomer and/or did not do the letter to your younger self, feel free to do so if you care to! It is
NOT a requirement to take part in this one. The prompt can be found here
What do you do to overcome writer’s block? Do you have any tips or tricks? Does it just happen naturally?

One amazing thing about writing is that it attracts people of all kinds. For instance, I love to write, but I also study theology and I’m obsessed with makeup. So, tell us: Other than writing, what are some of your big aspirations? Let’s all get to know each other a bit better.
Credit for this question goes to Ellie from Peach Arrow. Her answer is below.
For years I’ve been mulling over the idea of opening my own cafe & bakery. I think about this a lot actually. Ever since I was little I’ve loved baking. When I was little, I used to help my grandmother make biscuits in her kitchen. I’d stand on a chair watching as she rolled out the dough on the counter top. Then she’d hand me a small glass and tell me to press the glass down into the dough and rotate it. So I followed her instructions and voila, a perfectly round biscuit. From biscuits I moved onto cookies and eventually onto tiramisu. I still remember each Christmas sitting around in the kitchen with my sister, mixing and scooping out dough. These are some of my fondest memories.
I still have that love for baking. But I don’t know that I can actually achieve the goal of owning my own shop. I’ve talked this over with one of my roommates before, Amaris. I love her so much. She suggested that we open one together. But in her suggestion, she added a twist. Not just a bakery, but a cafe. I mean I can’t believe that I didn’t think of this beforehand. A bakery without coffee? No way. We planned out our responsibilities; I would bake the goods and she would make the coffee. I highly suspect that we’d both end up baking, but the point is that I’ve always loved that idea. I can see myself owning a little shop somewhere in a small town, serving homemade sweets to those who share my love of baked goods.
While I know that it may not happen, I still hold that as my one aspiration, one thing that I’ve always wanted to do.
This one is a Katie idea. You guys know her? Nice girl, I hear. 
Leave 5 of your most prized and cherished posessions to people who you feel deserve them. Who gets what and why? (Feel free to do more than 5 if you’d like)
