Time Travelled — 7 months

A letter from August 30th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, writing this letter gives me anxiety. But it also gives me a lot of hope so I am not gonna let a bad thing overthrow the good ones. I know you are stronger and better than I am today. I applied to a job in hoping for a better and more content life that I am looking for and I hope you are a lot closer to that kind of lifestyle than I am now. I also listed a lot of emails, by th...

A letter from September 16th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Hey there, you're 31 now! I hope your health is holding up and you've lost that quarantine weight -- oh wait, you're probably still in social isolation because the vaccine probably hasn't come out yet. Either way, I hope you get some exercise and were able to go visit your folks and friends back home. I'm guessing all your financial goals were met, if so, great job on that! I...

Time Travelled — almost 11 years

from 2010

Dear FutureMe, I hope you are still healthy and in shape. Can you still do headstand and shoulderstand? Can you put your palms on the floor bending forward? Or have you maybe even learned to do splits in the meantime? Are you still going running, dancing, to yoga? Are you eating healthy? Can you still wear the jeans of a few years back? Please always remember that if you cease doing cer...

A letter from March 31st, 2016

Dear FutureMe, Hello future Laura! I hope you are as well as possible and that you are enjoying looking at cherry blossom trees as you did at lunchtime today in Abercromby Square. Today 5 years ago was yet another quiet day at work. Kirsty said 'hello!' to your future self by the way. For breakfast today 5 years ago you had some gluten-free museli with natural yoghurt and blueberries. You...

Change Is So Heartbreaking.

Hey, Change is so heard! I feel like I can't do it anymore. I'm just so tired, so tired of feeling alone. I wish that I could just curl up in a ball and never be bothered again! Love hurts, change happened, and depression kills. Am I even the same person that I once was? If I were to see you now, 4 years later, would I even know who you were? Did the depression hurt my life? Am I understood?...

A letter from March 31st, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Right now I'm stuck in bed, missing my friends, missing the pub and missing university. Coronavirus has everyone stuck indoors and its safe to say Im feeling a bit sorry for myself. Dark thoughts have creeped into my head, but I'm staying strong and I hope you are too. By the time you get this it'll be 2021 and this mess better be other with. This has really been a time to refle...

A letter from March 31st, 2020

Dear future self, Things are looking very rough so far. We have to do online school, the FSA was canceled -from what I heard-, and all of this because of the corona-virus. This whole thing is probably going to blow over like things usually do and everything will be back to normal Hopefully. I would rather go to school then have online classes because I have a lot of online homework that I can’...

Epilogue

A letter from March 31st, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Wow, If you are reading this, you made it through 2020. It's scary because the world seems to be ending. Rumors are spreading WILDLY. I just bought $90 worth on groceries with my credit card because food is more important than credit right now. If it comes downs to it, and you have to choose the dog over the roommate, you are choosing the dog. I hope you are happy. I hope you ar...

A letter from March 31st, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Currently, the world is going through an epidemic and if I’m being so honest, everything’s been falling apart because of the Coronavirus. It’s actually really scary how much control something unknown and foreign can have on the human race. The date “to go back” to school just got pushed back from March 30th to April 10th and it almost seems like more and more bad news is everywh...

A letter from March 31st, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Holy heck. I wrote one of these in February I think, and so much has changed already! Now I'm quarantined and social distancing for an indefinite amount of time. This is all so weird, and I'm really interested in what things are like for you right now. I hope it's pretty normal, and you're getting ready for prom and everything. I hope the world recovers from this, and maybe it...
