The Time Capsule Challenge
I want to start a new tradition/challenge with “Animal Crossing: New Leaf”: a time capsule challenge.Â
Mitzi asked me to go find her time capsule last night, and it occurred to me that I have been missing some great time capsule opportunities for myself.Â
That’s what I encourage you all to do now, too!Â
The rules are easy to follow, and you can do this however you’d like. There’s more than one way to recreate the memories.Â
Find an item that brings back memories or that you cherish a lot.Â
Wrap the gift in wrapping paper.Â
Go to a remote place in town - that also won’t be disrupted by possible villagers moving in (like the beach), or maybe even the island instead - and bury the wrapped gift.Â
Write your future self a letter with either a kind message, an inspirational quote, or really whatever you’d like.Â
Ask Pelly or Phyllis to set it for a specific date in the future.Â
Add that date to your calendar app, daily planner or wherever you keep your future events visible.Â
When it’s time to find your capsule and open your letter, post pictures about it! (I feel like using the tag “ac time capsule challenge” in your post would be awesome.)
There isn’t a “right” or “wrong” to the amount of time you give for a capsule, same as there isn’t a right or wrong way to even do this. I set mine for 2 months for this first time capsule. Perhaps you’d rather wait a year? It’s up to you!Â
I hope you’ll join this challenge. It could be really fun.
With the reappearance of an old, best friend to my town, it’s brought back a lot of memories. So I’ve written myself a special message, with words of encouragement, and wrapped and buried an item that reminds me of the old days.Â
~ I can’t wait to see it again in May. ~
