Time Travelled — almost 1 year

A letter from November 12th, 2019

A few days ago that girl you used to play boyfriends with responded to your many random messages. You already know her name. As of today, you two are talking with no intention of restarting a possible love story. I honestly don't know how to feel about it. It's strange, at the moment of writing this I've known her for about 6 years? Maybe 7. Albeit we used to play pretend, we never really start...

Time Travelled — 7 months

A letter from April 6th, 2020

Dear future me, They say before you die your brain remains active for seven minutes, and in those seven minutes you see your life flash before your eyes. Equally happy and sad memories. If I were to die right now I would see a black and white mute film, a sad and pathetic recreation of hopeless moments. And as much as I hate to admit it, it's the truth. I want to be proud to see smiles in my m...

Subject

Dear FutureMe, Hey Self. It's myself. This is kind of goofy isn't it? Anyway. Right now you are 19 years old. Writing this email to yourself. Don't you have anything better to do? Not really. Anyway. You're in love. His name is Travis. You've always wanted your last name to be Jordan. Good news! His name is Travis Jordan. You are pretty sure you'll marry him someday. You'll have bea...

You should be some sort of resistance leader by now

Dear FutureMe, There is evil. And only one person (well actually more but you play a gosh darn big role) can stop it. That's YOU or ME or...well you know...or I know? It's a good thing I'm e-mailing because I sure can't handle time travel. I don't know what kind of resistance leader you are by now, but whatever it is, I bet it's grand. And if you're not resisting or leading, well g...

Epilogue

A letter from November 11th, 2016

Dear FutureMe, Four years have passed since Donald Trump was elected president. He's probably not been reelected. How much have you changed in the past 4 years? Are you still a pharmacy manager at *? Dump those ******** if your salary hasn't reached $125k before bonus by now. Things have probably changed for the worst with the new labor matrix that's supposed to come out in 2017. Hopeful...

A letter from November 5th, 2014

Dear FutureMe, You've went to collage for computer programming. You fell in love with a depressed schizophrenic. There was a lot of drinking and some crying, but in the end it was really amazing. Then it all ended, you got a job. Living on your own, you play guitar. A pretty nice guitar too. You are currently working on a 3rd compilation before really trying to start a band. It was goi...

A letter from November 3rd, 2016

Dear FutureMe, You're sitting in a car @ Path Mark in brooklyn trying to kill time to park your car at the house you live in owned by your father. Right now you're 29 years old but you put in your head that you are already in your early 30s. Your 29 self is feeling helpless, deserted and depressed because your mother died about 2 months ago. You've been working for a concrete inspection comp...

A letter from November 9th, 2016

Dear FutureMe, Last night, America truly disgusted me. I'm left speechless and cannot believe exactly what happened. I didn't think the United States was so capable of expressing such blatant racism, sexism, and overall bigotry until last night. (Not my) President Trump. Being blue in a red state is tough. It felt like my vote for Clinton was not counted, that it wouldn't matter. It was ju...

November 9th, 2016 - The day america wept for our future

Today is a day. Today is my last day of school. Today is a day I have been looking forward to for over 3 years. Today I have all the knowledge in my little head so that tomorrow I can take a test that I have been preparing so hard for. Today I am living a reality that I have had an actual nightmare about , today is the day after the 2016 presidential election. And last night the people of the U...
