Time Travelled — almost 10 years

A letter from June 23rd, 2011

Dear FutureMe, Well, you're twenty seven at the time of reading. Shocking, isn't it, hopefully you've forgotten that you wrote this letter, although I suppose after randomly stumbling online and quickly writing a letter on some unknown website the memory wouldn't last ten years. Obviously, I'm still seventeen at this point, and I have all of our great dreams and aspirations. All I can really...

Time Travelled — about 10 years

Hi, Heloise. Long time no see.

Dear FutureMe, Oh, man, life is complicated right now. That doesnt necessarily mean bad, though. Imma describe my life right now so you can see what has changed, and to make sure we can remember who we were. I have just fallen in love for the first time, and its great. I love music, reading, comics, and drawing more than anything. Im kinda lazy, and my grades arent great, but i still want to ge...

A letter from June 22nd, 2018

Dear FutureMe, I hope you are well. I am writing to you from the past just to remind you that how far you have come and how big you have grown as a person. No matter if you become successful or not, the most important is you are safe and healthy. I know that you, most of the time, feeling lonely and that you feel sorry for yourself. You always push yourself too hard to achieve something you ...

A letter from June 21st, 2018

Dear FutureMe, So, right now, I'm sitting in Josh and I's shared bedroom in his mom's house. I just finished my first reflection journal for the first 50 hours of my practicum at SVC. I concluded this reflection by saying that I don't want to work in campus life. So, I guess that's something. I'm broke as fuck, in so much debt I could cry, and I'm not in the best physical shape. But I al...

A letter from June 25th, 2020

Hello world! I hope you and your loved ones came safely through this difficult time, and if not, I hope you find comfort and consolation Lockdown was interesting for me.. My usually withdrawn, home-oriented, socially minimal, anomalous life abruptly became much more closely aligned with the standard and I felt reasonably 'normal', in synch with the human world, for the first time in 57 ye...

Dear FutureMe, Hi this is past you and I just finished my finals for my first year of middle school (7th grade) this year Donald Trump looks like he is going to win the presidential election. A new type of watching things has just been invented, Virtual reality with is like 3d but is like in real life. but we still haven't found a cure for cancer. A rover landed on Mars and now we think t...

A letter from June 17th, 2016

Dear FutureMe, Remember this day 5 years ago? No? I didn't think so. You won't remember why you were upset at your best friend and your dad, you won't still be hanging onto some misplaced words from your boyfriend that you gave extra meaning to and dwelled on for a week, giving you tension headaches from the stress. Remember this day 5 years ago? No? well, you won't remember TODAY in 2021 5 ...

Epilogue

A letter from October 14th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, It's October 14, 2020. We're in the first quarter of sophomore year. We've been quarantined for seven months now. Trump is President, though Election Day is 20 days away. I'd say our biggest challenges right now are the pandemic, systematic racism, and climate change. We currently identify as a lesbian and maybe agender. We may technically fall under sapphic. I just made the g...

A letter from December 16th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Hi, I hope you are well and in good spirits! This morning I did a meditation for a Sagittarius New Moon and the end of the meditation suggested me to send this letter to you. I have no idea what a Sagittarius Moon or any of those things are outside of basic horoscope signs. But regardless I am here in the living room with Kodak writing this letter. My intentions for this new moo...
