Time Travelled — almost 5 years

Dear 5-years-older version of me

Dear 5-years-older version of me: If nothing else, please remember this. You were happy 5 years ago. You knew what you wanted from the world and you weren’t afraid to get it. You knew what you needed and you got better at demanding it. You knew what you cared for and made sure that it was taken care of. Things were hard and life was overwhelming, but that doesn’t mean you weren’t happy. Whe...

A letter from December 7th, 2016

Dear FutureMe, Sometimes I have trouble motivating myself at work, while sometimes I am over the top. When I am less motivated, it's because I am working on menial tasks with fixed outcomes. Make the nametags, the participants use them, the program goes on. In fact, I have so little motivation that I don't even think about the "correct process" anymore. After action reviews and such - no o...

A letter from December 7th, 2016

To Future Self From Old Self The Buddha once said “What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.” To be wise you must already know you’re a fool, but to just be a fool is to not admit you are one. Life is made in not black and white, rather than many shades of gray. The shades of gray you see one day, you might not see again the next. Yet, it doesn’t ...

Dear FutureMe, Right now you are on the journey to beginning your own life. Focus on you and bettering yourself for the future. The little things that may seem important now, will be minuscule looking back. You're in school because your parents want the best for you. Don't disgrace them. You're here to learn. To get an education, the kind that they were never able to receive. Honor them and do...

Dear FutureMe, Well future self, I see that somewhere between you and me, you’ve figured it out. I am thankful that you’ve taken care of yourself and figured out what was right. the powerful thing you are showing is what is possible with our life.

A letter from October 5th, 2016

Dear FutureMe, Wow. You've just turned 18. For some very odd reason I’ve not warmed to the idea of it just yet. Legally being allowed to go to pubs, clubs and drinking. By this stage you've reached your final days of being a child in care. However as I began to evaluate and reminisce on my childhood I realised how many mistakes I’ve made and things I’ve learned in just a short lifespan of li...

Last 22 days of my 22nd year--A letter from December 6th, 2016

Dear FutureMe, Time flies in a different way nowadays. On a regular setting, hard days would take long and the better ones will just pass through. This is the opposite of what I felt in the past year. My better days stayed quite longer than the hard ones. But do these benefit me? No. I never wanted to bask in happiness. This may sound odd, but this is the reality. For I know, that those moment...

A letter from December 6th, 2016

Dear FutureMe, I just found a pouch full of my neoprint stickers from a decade ago and thought to myself, "How much have I changed and what hasn't?" I've written to the Future Me in the past but it's been years since. So I asked myself, what if I were to leave earth in a year? What would I hope to achieve then to leave peacefully? It's 19 days before Christmas. I've just completed the ...

Dear FutureMe, Im sitting in my room right now writing this to myself. I want me to remember one of the most important things someone could ever learn, "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved i return." Right now I am dating the most amazing person that ever existed. His name is Nick Rudolfsky and he loves me very very much. He's in hawaii at the moment but should ...
