Time Travelled — about 14 years

The year is 2005

Dearest Me I hope the future is a warm and happy place. In this, the year 2005, my world is ruled by robots, regardless of what the history books tell you. Everything is cold and metal. Our cruel robot overlords make us forge nuts and bolts to build more robot overlords every day. I the resistance is successful, and this email finds you well and free of the shackles of robotic oppression....

A letter from January 26th, 2015

Dear FutureMe, Hey there. Its now 2015, you are a junior in high school, and you've kinda given up with caring about things you once did. You've been hanging out with the wrong crowd, and just trying to "fit in" as much as possible by doing things you probably shouldn't be doing. Stop. Future me, dont be as stupid as your past. You're an ignorant 16 year old right now, just trying to figure...

Dear Gemma, You have finally done the thing that I had always hoped for us! No, you haven't got a degree, we don't care about that anymore, let's be honest, we never did. Yes, you broke up with Ryan but I don't mean that either. What I mean is that you finally started to fight for yourself. You got up again, you squared up, you took a long hard look at yourself in the mirror and for the firs...

A letter from January 26th, 2019

Dear FutureMe, Things are a bit dull and exciting at the same time. It's a good contrast, but not, at the same time. You know what I mean? It seems like being balanced with the life you've always wanted causes consequences like being bored even though you're always on the go. Honestly I think it's really just me -- to be fair, it's always been me, the root of all these problems. I wanted to ...

A letter from May 6th, 2016

Dear FutureMe, Oh gosh I'm gonna turn 18 when I get this. Obviously soo much will have changed. I can't wait to see what it is though. Are we still friends with Jennifer and Julia? And do we ever talk to Kristy? At this point in life it's after that whole thing happened with Julia and Emily but I guess we're friends again? I don't know how long it's gonna last, I assume not 4 years but who ...

A letter from January 19th, 2019

Dear FutureMe, In the dark and cold days of winter, it can be hard to find hope. Especially when everything is going wrong and it’s wearing you out. There is power in remembering that you actually need very little. The solution to any problem is usually to let go of something that is hurting you. It’s natural to want somebody to comfort you and make all the problems go away but if you give th...

Oh, yes! Life is hard

Dear FutureMe, Wathever has happened to you, wherever you are and wathever you are doing, remember it is your job to maintain hope. Expectations won't ever match reality, life is hard and people will keep dissapointing you. But if you decide to let your brain go into that selfish "default setting", where everything is wrong with the world and life is unfair to you, you wont be happy. It is y...
