Time Travelled — 8 months

A letter from July 28th, 2020

It's sometime near the end of July 2020, and the box of m&ms on my desk expire on the date you'll recieve this letter. Although I don't think m&ms really expire. But that's the date printed on the box. By now it's been over a year since that time you went through that really tough and confusing breakup and ensuing lonely period and I hope you've come up with a more succinct name for t...

You both started dating wh...

Are you done yet?

Dear FutureMe, I hope you're out of the military. I hope you're traveling and creating and teaching and loving, all with reckless abandon. I hope you still speak Farsi and you're teaching it to your children. I hope you are healed of PTSD and you are helping others who have been sexually assaulted. I hope Richard still loves you and you still love him, and you are both just as happy as were wh...

I've been to the Year 3000.

Dear FutureMe, I hope you got your man. You've got a Master's degree already. You'll be 24 by this time. Almost 25. You better be wearing heels. You're a 6'1"(Who knows, maybe you grew!), proud woman. Have you had any children? Hopefully not. That's for 28 year old B. I hope that G is good now, and not as moody. Is Cousin B still in trouble with her life? I hope not. Did Aunt B become a nurse?...

A letter from the past

Dear FutureMe, I hope these 10 years passing find you well and stable, generally alive. I know I can't handle life continuing this way, and if i had known 10 years ago that i was facing a continuing onslaught of mental health problems which have entombed me in my living hell, i don't think i could have gone on. I hope my dog continues to be the best therapy I ever had and she is fluffy and well...

A letter from March 26th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Hi, this is a letter I wrote in 2020, I want you to know that I am not a perfect human and you aren’t either. Our flaws make us who we are and don’t trick yourself to believing that you have to be perfect. Of course, you should try your best but that doesn't mean perfect. You are in grade 6 now and probably worried about a lot of things but today I want you to let go of your wor...

A letter from March 26th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, It's the middle of the pandemic right now (26th March 2020) and you are 4 weeks out of surgery. It still hurts to bend your knee and you haven't been cleared to walk yet. Every day you get up around 8am and you feel quite tired. This is a really hard time in your life, though admittedly, not as hard as last year. Nutrition is a struggle - late night snacking (right before bed) h...
