The Message That Future You Wishes You Sent Today

In partnership with

Ever glance at your phone and realize you haven't texted your parents in days? Maybe weeks? Life gets busy.

We scroll through social media, respond to work emails, chat with friends planning weekend activities—yet sometimes forget to check in with the people who gave us life.

Here's a simple lifehack that might change everything: pin your parents' chat to the top of your messaging apps. It takes five seconds.

On iMessage or WhatsApp, just swipe right on their conversation and tap "Pin." That's it. But those five seconds might be the most important investment you make today.

Why? Because what's visible gets attention. What's hidden gets forgotten. When their chat sits permanently at the top of your screen, you'll notice it every time you open the app.

You'll see their name, maybe their photo, and you'll remember—oh, I should check in. You'll send that random thought, that funny photo, that simple "love you" text that wouldn't have happened otherwise.

This isn't about obligation. It's about opportunity. The truth is, there will come a day when you'll type out a message, but there won't be anyone on the other end to receive it.

You'll have thoughts you want to share, jokes they would love, questions only they could answer—and nowhere to send them.

Ask anyone who's lost a parent what they would give for one more conversation. One more stupid meme exchange. One more chance to say "How was your day?" They would trade anything for what you still have right now.

The most heartbreaking texts are the ones we compose in our minds after it's too late to send them. This isn't about guilt. It's about recognizing the invisible timer that's always running. We never know when the last message will be sent.

So pin their chat to the top of your screen. Make the invisible visible. Create a tiny daily reminder to connect with the people who have known you your entire life.

Future you—the version who can no longer message them—is begging you to do this today.
