A letter from May 5th, 2017

Hey again. I haven't written a letter in a long time but I remember the last time that I did. I was sitting in that kitchen in California, with the cold air biting my toes as it does late at night. I was on the precipice of a new and exciting time in my life and I felt rejuvenated, happy, ready to experience life. I want to feel that again, but time passes slowly and surely, and I am creepi...

Hey, future self

Dear Grace, You married yet girl? Did you ever get over Justin or are you still pining away for him? That's not healthy if you are. Did you ever get the guts together to ask out Conner? You know, that guy from school? Or are you living a lonely life without a husband? Have you even kissed anyone yet? Frond, you're pathetic if you haven't. Get up and do something about that. Go to a club or som...

Hey Me!

Dear FutureMe, Ten years ago I was confused, lost, frustrated, and worried about my future. I knew what I wanted to be and do with my life, I was just stuck in a rut on getting there. I wanted to be happy and clear on life. Do you remember how absolutely devastated you were when your first love was lost? Now, I am sure you rarely think of the heartache you went through with Chris. ...

Dear 27-year-old self, Are you a parent by now? Jesus Christ. Maybe you are, maybe you aren't. But maybe you will be soon. Whichever it is, listen up. Your nineteen-year-old self has thought a lot about marriage and parenting -- specifically with Jimmy (what happened to you and him, by the way? :) ) but also in general. And in general, the thing with co-parenting that you've figured out i...

A letter from the past

Dear FutureMe, I am hoping you're alive to read this, I couldn't figure it out because I'm bad at math and I've been grading papers for too long. I would like you to take this opportunity to check on your personal narrative and your level of creativity, because as I write this I realize how intertwined they are. In the 2011 that it is now, you pretty much hate yourself. I mean, there are ...

A letter from April 10th, 2016, thinking about the meaning of existence

Hey man, This may be a little unprecedented i guess... but it's probably because I've been doing a lot of introspection and have found that nothing can be conclusively taken for a truth, everything can be questioned to the point of no belief. I mean look at Buddha, he probably found out that everything is impermanent and transient and that especially the desirous ways of man, but i feel even ...

Hello Sean

Dear FutureMe, Right now it is 5:45pm on Monday, May 17, 2010. And I hope you turned out alright. Are you still with Ashley? Did you ever marry her?! I hope so, because yesterday was the first time I told her "I love you." :] She means so much to me. I wonder what you decided to do for the rest of your life. Right now I think I'm majoring in pre-medicine at MSU.. but I feel like I co...
