Time Travelled — 12 months

A letter from May 6th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, How’s it going? After looking back, life seems to change dramatically over the course of a small amount of time. So I imagine by time you get this, life will have dramatically changed as well. Have you moved out of your toxic home yet? I really hope so. If so, has life gotten better? Are you more comfortable? How’s the progression on the skateboarding? I hope life is treating yo...

A letter from May 7th, 2020

Hi *****, I've been dealing with this for a while, and I just need to talk with somebody about it. I think that I may be Lesbian or Bi. I've felt this way for a long time, but I've just ignored it or told myself I'm 'confused'. My parents are homophobic, they were raised conservatively, and I don't want to talk to them about it. They don't know yet. The church at ****** is really op...

A letter from May 5th, 2017

Hey again. I haven't written a letter in a long time but I remember the last time that I did. I was sitting in that kitchen in California, with the cold air biting my toes as it does late at night. I was on the precipice of a new and exciting time in my life and I felt rejuvenated, happy, ready to experience life. I want to feel that again, but time passes slowly and surely, and I am creepi...

Hey, future self

Dear Grace, You married yet girl? Did you ever get over Justin or are you still pining away for him? That's not healthy if you are. Did you ever get the guts together to ask out Conner? You know, that guy from school? Or are you living a lonely life without a husband? Have you even kissed anyone yet? Frond, you're pathetic if you haven't. Get up and do something about that. Go to a club or som...

Hey Me!

Dear FutureMe, Ten years ago I was confused, lost, frustrated, and worried about my future. I knew what I wanted to be and do with my life, I was just stuck in a rut on getting there. I wanted to be happy and clear on life. Do you remember how absolutely devastated you were when your first love was lost? Now, I am sure you rarely think of the heartache you went through with Chris. ...

Dear 27-year-old self, Are you a parent by now? Jesus Christ. Maybe you are, maybe you aren't. But maybe you will be soon. Whichever it is, listen up. Your nineteen-year-old self has thought a lot about marriage and parenting -- specifically with Jimmy (what happened to you and him, by the way? :) ) but also in general. And in general, the thing with co-parenting that you've figured out i...
