Time Travelled — almost 5 years

Who are you?

Dear FutureMe, Here you sit 31 years old living a life of a 21 year old. Is that still you? Have you found someone to spend your evenings with or did Bobbie Jo break your heart too much? Are you still the second mother, cook, nanny, and tutor to her wonderful children? Are you still a lesbian or did you give up on women too? Do you still drink like a fish to dull your brain or have you ...

Five Years Ago Today...

I am sitting here at my house on Fifth Street in Atlanta, smoking a Lucky Strike and reviewing the transcript of President Bush's awful presser this morning. One of his two-per-year that where he bumbles out into the White House East Room and acts like a total ass for an hour while an over-differential press fellates him and his bogus War On Iraq. By the time this letter reaches me, that scu...

Stay young!

Brian, Five years ago you were 24, and were worried about aging and death. You were completely occupied with the state of the world, convinced that things were falling apart. But you were hopeful and dedicated to improvement. You believed in people and their power to collectively build a better society. Has that belief been confirmed? I hope things aren't too dismal. You believed i...

Dear FutureMe, I've next to stopped eating completely. I'm 165 pounds even and completely unhappy. One meal a day (normally a salad with cheeseburger sprinkled on top) at 5:30, with a tiny dessert. Then nothing until 24 hours later. And I hit the gym every day, except I skipped yesterday for the SEC Championchip, which we won. Pasadena on Jan 7th- will I be there? That'd be neat. Anyway, I ...

Oh, the places we'll go

Dear FutureMe, You should be receiving this mid-sophomore year, i'd assume. It's entirely possible that you're going to remember sending this, because your life has been moving faster for the last six months than you can ever remember. As I (you... well whatever, pronouns) are writing this, you're sitting on the plaid couch in your living room at home... NH home, not school home. Every ...

Futureme Letter**

Dear FutureMe, Hey, kid. How are things? Yesterday, you got your "Dear Future Me" book. did you like it? You're almost halfway done with it now. Do you still have it? If you do, look at it right now. I'll bet it's on your bookshelf. Or in one of those little cubby hole things. If you don't know where it is, then go find it. How's Michigan? I've probably sent three emails asking this, but I'...

Transformation.

Dear FutureMe, I hope you have moved on. NO I can't say I hope. I know you have. I know that by now you have learned to love yourself and your anger at the world and yourself have subsided. I know this because just today...and this past week you have decided to take action and take pro-active steps to being happy. You are no longer stubborn and have agreed to start taking an anti-depressan...
