The brief of my senior capstone project at UWM was to create a manifesto of my beliefs. Sometimes I'm extremely curious about future me and how she changes, what she thinks, etc., so my manifesto was a gift to 18 year old me from 22 year old me. It serves a dual purpose to me as a teaching moment for my younger self and a preservation moment of my current self. A moment of learning what would become of me but also a time capsule showing what shaped me, what was special to me, and what was hard for me. I'll cringe at this in a couple years but that's what it's all about.
