Neat idea. Some of the public entries are rather heartbreaking.
Everyone always talks about what they would tell their past self, but what would you say to your future self?

Well I have a great idea for a get rich quick scheme:
1. Start website where people can type in a paragraph of random text, whatever comes to them first2. Get offer to publish a book compiling the "best" of these random paragraphs3. Publish book4. Get paid

And the website could be called makemerich.com
Whats funny in reading those public entries is the perception of how far away "the future" is, depending on age. I mean, you read high school kids talking about hoping they've made themselves a better life and you see they've sent it just a year in the future. While people speaking about more adult concerns are sending them 5, 10 years + into the future.
