Time Travelled — almost 3 years

A letter from June 26th, 2018

Dear FutureMe, Multiple friends, mentors, and even my own basal ganglia tell me that "the fella with a hella good hair" is not the right partner for me. I knew something was off at the first meeting in 2013, fell for him two years later during a transitional time in life, and stayed with him three months shy of three years. Because he was not in a good place in life then and I had a...

A letter from October 5th, 2018

Dear Future Me, Are you happy? You are writing this from a lonely place, and all I hope for is that by the time this reaches you, you have found what you're meant to do. I hope you have a dog with a ridiculous name, a house near the beach, a fort of blankets to keep you warm and happy, a job that never feels like one, and I hope most of all that you have someone to share it with, because you c...

A letter from April 13th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, This is you from a year ago. Because of a pandemic taking over the world currently you have been in quarantine for weeks, the last quarter of your junior year was cancelled, and it's been hard to adjust. Also you just recently shaved your head, maybe because its something you've always wanted to do and you're not under the pressure right now of going to school and having to w...

A letter from April 14th, 2020

Min älskade Omar. I have lived in the apartment for a month now and it’s getting better day by day. Things are starting to fall into place, and even though you’re not here yet I can see in front of me what a wonderful life we will build together. We already have a stellar dog and four well-behaved houseplants, a full pantry and a cozy bed. With you here, it’s going to be a perfectly imperfec...

A letter from June 22nd, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Love. A simple word. A not so simple feeling. Everyone wants love at some point in life, right now your not completely okay because of love. A boy. 20 years old. He likes to think he’s a man but he’s not what I picture a man to be. He says he has “feelings” for you. Right now you don’t know him well enough to know if he’s lying. You hope not. Today June 21st 2...

Love is in the gym.

Dear FutureMe, I've been going to the gym. Yes, with our best friend Jennifer Torres. Me and her have been together for the last two months. I'm talking about having a loving friendship. So we've decided to go to prom together and get matching tattoos. But overall we've been training with all these different types of trainers. And in the morning I can feel the soreness which feels amazing. Ano...

A letter from December 18th, 2017

Dear My Future Self, I hope you're doing better now. Right now (December 18, 2017) you're kinda struggling to get by. I hope your confidence has improved and you're still smiling strong. Life has hurt you, I know, but I hope you learn how to live and let go. Anyways, how's life now? Good? Bad? Stressful? When you open this, it will be about your senior year of highschool and hopefully you'll ...

A letter from April 12th, 2018

Dear FutureMe, So, today its Wednesday, but I literally have a lot to talk about... Me and bae are going through bad times at the moment, but I have a huge feeling that we will work this out, because the only problem between me and him is Ghana and me being around Kwame, in which yes I know how horrible it must be for bae. Today at work I was so happy, because I finished cash up before the ...

A letter from April 12th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Whether you’re single or in a happy relationship, never forget the hardships that brought you to where you are. This is being written during a global pandemic, which forced the globe to self quarantine. During these moments, I was given time to myself and I want to make a promise to myself, right here and right now. Make sure you’re ten times better than one year exactly from to...

A letter from April 12th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, I hope you're doing well, although you're most definitely doing better than me right now, as I've been quarantined in my house for almost a month with my family and am just about to the point of being clinically insane. Anyway, I wonder if you still feel the same way about the world, or if a single year will shape your perspective? Rather, how will your perspective be shaped?...
