A letter from August 26th, 2017

Dear FutureMe, School should be underway for you now. I think you should be starting your first full year as a teacher. Am I right? Anyway, I have just started my third year of college and am feeling really good about my classes. Lots is going right. I am really not sure what to write in this letter because most of what I would write is already written in my journal in much more complete for...

A letter from August 8th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, I know you have lots of insecurities in your body. Your insecure about you weight, your height, your hair, your body type, your blackheads, your large pores and more. You always have second thought in everything you do because you always think that you will fail. You’re scared that maybe no one will accept you because of these insecurities. That’s why I am telling y...

A letter from February 8th, 2021

Dear FutureMe, Well done on being so much more in tune with yourself, your feelings and emotions. You trust your judgement more and have become so much calmer in general which in turn had helped sooo much. You are loving being present and myself in general... I AM enough. Your finances are in a much better state of affairs and you can see the end, then let's get saving for that rainy an...

An encouraging letter from August 1st, 2017

Dear Self, Today is a beautiful day in the past. It is a sunny yet cool day in August and you are sitting on the porch surrounded by citronella. You are doing positivity journaling. You've been doing this for about 6 months now and it has changed your life, how you see people and the beauty you are able to find. Right now, you are laughing at the things you used to worry about 5-10 years...

I'm sending this e-mail from fifteen years ago...

Dear Me, Happy birthday. I still have the same e-mail? Cool. Mom wants me to practice piano, so I'm gonna have to type really fast. Am I an actor? Doesn't matter, I suppose I'm happy with whatever I'm doing. Remember that iPod nano I got for christmas is 2005? It's probably junk now, I bet the future has way cooler technology. Listen to me. When you get married and have children, remember the...

David,

I hope you're alive and doing well. At least you better be. I expect you to take good care of our existence. Anyway, I just thought I'd check up on you, see how things are.

Being happy? I wonder how much...

A letter from September 22nd, 2013

Dear FutureMe, Tonight you found out a very nice and pretty girl named "K" that you met in Boston at an a cappella invitational had started dating someone. Granted you knew that things would have never worked out because of the distance you still had a crush on her but that didn't matter because you liked the feeling of liking someone else and having some of that warmth sent back your way. ...
