A letter from April 5th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, I'm writing from an amazing quarantine that is killing me, maybe by time you will be reading this we'll be able to step foot outside. It's hard form me to think about you, who you are and how you look because if there is something I learned in these months is that life is unpredictable. I have many wishes that I hope you accomplished but again its so hard for me right know to...

Dear FutureMe, Hey Julie, how are you? Are you still thinking about him? Yeah I know I do right now. I miss him, I miss his hands touching mine, I miss how he told people that he was gonna marry me one day. It didnt turn out that way:( I guess the timing was bad, right? No. I should have done better. It's my fault all of it:( not really but I need a reason and it's just easier to blame it on me

Hello you.

Dear FutureMe, I hope when you're reading this you're either: 1) Filthy rich 2) Have friends who've become filthy rich. 3) Have found true enlightenment and therefore don't need money to be happy. The last one's my preferred option, but any of those would suit me just fine really... You should also have learnt to use a sewing machine by now and how to play the guitar in public. Get o...

Epilogue

To you, from you

Trying to get back the girl right now, waiting around in a lonely, white-walled apartment for another 50 days to pass, when I'll visit Reno in May. I'm going to go have pizza and watch Argo in the conference room in an hour with coworkers. How's life? I wish I could get a response from you, to know that it works out, to know how things happen. Are kids in the future? If I'm back with C she'l...

Epilogue

A letter from April 4th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, It’s really difficult right now. I’m sewing masks. Hospital masks because there aren’t enough. I don’t even like to sew. But now, I do. My best friend is pissed at me. She’s a nurse and has to go to work. But I’m trying to help by staying home and not getting sick and by sewing masks. We can’t talk about stuff. I keep sewing masks. She keeps picking them up.

A letter from February 4th, 2021

Hi! So it's been 3 months since you started to save money to aggressively pay off your credit cards and I think that you're doing great. Just remember why you're doing it: to get your life in order and be able to save for and afford more important stuff. Don't feel any guilt, you were unemployed for a long time and now that you're unemployed AGAIN, you spent a lot of money on tuition and star...

Congrats on hitting 40

Dear FutureMe, 40 years you have now lived on this Earth. How is the planet holding up? Have we destroyed it further? What kind of technology have we though up of using? I've just donated some money to the planetary society for their mars mission. You should be proud. Did anything ever come of it? Have a look and see. Do we still use normal computers? I'm typing this out at work but at h...

Dear FutureMe, It is currently 5 weeks after the heart attacked almost killed you. As you write this you are full of excitement for the future. You have been given a second chance to be a better person and to appreciate the extra time you have. You currently feel like you need to stop being so negative, you need to appreciate the people that care and not judge the new people you meet. ...
