Hopes and dreams for when you're 40

Dear FutureMe, Happy 40th Birthday! 8 years ago, life is not what you expected it to be, you are bored, you want to travel and you are in a marriage where you wonder if you are truly happy. I hope you've changed it or at least found peace and happiness with what you have. You have regrets, I hope you've learned to let go... please let them go and move on. Forgive. Live life for what...

A letter from January 18th, 2021

Dear FutureMe, What does financial freedom mean to me? It means having the choice to leave a particular method of earning income if it’s no longer bringing joy into my life and learning to live from my own creative resources . What makes me happy? Being creative and productive and having new experiences. Where do you want to be in one year or in 5 years? In one year I’m hoping...

Dear FutureMe, Here I am in 2017 and there you are in 2022. I'm writing to ask if you have changed and because I can imagine you are excited to receive a message written by you 5 years ago.

A letter from January 16th, 2021

Dear FutureMe, I hope you are doing okay. I learned how much the Past year (2020) was hard for a lot of people, and so do I. From Covid, to a lot of anxiety attacks, also crying much more than usual, work and everything... For me, it's been really hard to stay focused whether it’s on physical health but also mental health. But this year has also brought me so many new great things! I've had to...

Arrange whatever comes your way

Dear FutureMe, I'm sitting here on my bed writing this while crying, because I feel like I'm not worthy to anything, like life pushes me down and I don't know how to push myself up. I really hope that my future self is feeling better, happy, loved, and all around doing whatever it wants. If not you probably should work on that now. I wish for my future self, that it learned to trust pe...

Epilogue

A letter from January 14th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, So today is the big day, the big 30! I guess when I was younger I had a set image of what 30 was supposed to look like. I would look to Jams and think, one day that’ll be me. Married in a home, with 2.5 kids! Of course the lord had other plans. Life never plays out the way WE want. It’s down to God to determine these things. These past few months have been a crazy whirl t...
