Hello from the past

Dear FutureMe, I wrote two other letters already, and I don't know how many I will send in the future, but I wanted to send this to you, to remind you to think about your life.

A letter from the past

Dear FutureMe, I am hoping you're alive to read this, I couldn't figure it out because I'm bad at math and I've been grading papers for too long.

In the 2011 that it is now, you pretty much hate yourself. I mean, there are ...

A letter from May 27th, 2017

Dear FutureMe, At this time in 2021, I'll be in med school. Or that's the plan as of now. What could I possibly say to my twenty-one year old self. I just have a lot of thoughts about my career choice. Medicine, surgery specifically, seems surrealist. See, I like the thought of it now, have been for a while. Even before I chose that's what I wanted. And for many many many years before that, ...
