Happy Birthday from your 14 year-old self

Dear FutureMe, You might just be too busy getting drunk to actually read this, but in the highly probable case that you in fact are sober (and probably alone, to be honest), I'd like to share a few heartfelt words from me, to: well, me. I'm going to start with annoying teenage complaints about now, and then I'll move on to annoying teenage day dreams about the future. Well, where do...

A letter from February 16th, 2018

Dear FutureMe, Its my 29th birthday, and as usual I am still alone. No special calls, no celebration, nobody to wish me at 12 o'clock. This time I didn't buy a cake, this time I am not celebrating, because this is the worst day in my life, I shouldn't have born. We all need some one in our life, and I have been alone for very long time, this loneliness is now killing me. Its not that I ...

A letter from February 17th, 2018

Dear FutureMe, Well, I decided to write this letter because in my current days I am English teacher, as you know. I'm gonna talk about future to my students and I would like them to write a letter to the future themselves. In an attempt to make them be interested in who they want to be. Here I am, hope that at this time you're gonna be fluent in English, more than never! Since nowadays I d...

A letter from May 30th, 2018

Dear FutureMe, On this day- May 30th 2018, you happened to run into this website through some self-help blog about self-compassion. When you read the public letters sent across this forum, it surprised you- what people expected of themselves in 5, 10 and 15 years into their future. They wanted to know how far how they'd gotten, how much they'd achieved. Some letters were sweet and kind. They j...

A letter from February 15, 2017

Dear FutureMe, Dear Future Jacob, I hope that wherever you are or what you are doing is important. Because I want to ask, are you an archeologist or actor? If so, then that is amazing. Because I want you to know the dog I had, the restaurant I liked, and who's in my family (especially my dad). I want you to remember the fun times we had at Krispy Kreme, when we went to Disney World and I was ...

A letter from February 15th, 2018

Dear FutureMe, hows it going? Am I still breathing? Am I happy? Am I depressed? Am I living life to the fullest? Am I still in a relationship with God? Am I dating someone? If so are they Nice? Did you say "I love you" too quickly? How about the military? Do you still want to do that? Do I still want to cry all the time? When the time comes and you read this, do me a favor. right yes or no an...

Epilogue

A letter from April 21st, 2020

Dear Future Me, Today one year ago you stepped away. Away from a toxic person, a toxic relationship and a behaviour with which you destroyed yourself. Please still be proud of yourself for doing that. The pain he brought you was gone so fast so suddenly you almost couldn't believe it after soaring for so long. But now all is good and all is great. I wonder where you are, what you are doin...

A letter from February 4th, 2021

to be honest i dont think it will work. i am going to ruin it. my affection is going to ruin it. i can already tell that it is taking its toll. i can already tell he doesnt like me as much as he did before. there is no more "you make me happy". there is no more "you are favorite person". there is no more "i adore you". i show too much affection way too early. my gut is telling me to pull aw...
