A letter from November 14th, 2016 - Post-election Trump Fears

Hi future me. I'm writing to you from 6 days after the Trump election win. It's been a rough week. Family divide. emotions and tensions high. Racism and bigotry were in full display on the streets. Protests almost daily. And as always the media fanning the flames of hate and fear. As an experiment, I am documenting my current fears for the trump presidency, so you can accurately compare with...

A letter from September 10th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Heeeey. You felt really bad when you wrote this. I know it’s super hard, coming back to life after your mother died. Your friends are gone or firefighting. Winter is coming. Your home country is having election panic attacks, and you... you have no home. But I want to remind you: you have a home—in me. No matter what, I’m happy to be here with you in this little blink of a...

A letter from October 9th, 2012

Dear FutureMe, I hope this email finds you well, I have sent you a similar letter in the past written back when we were 15 years of age, and you received it 5 years later. Sadly, most of the goals and hopes you had wished for, didn't come true... and you are now leading a totally different life than you had imagined, and frankly,a better one than that which you've anticipated. Bushra,or as s...

A letter from September 7th, 2018

Hey, there! I don't exactly know how old you are at the moment, but you have to be around 20. Let's say you are 20. People may think that not so much can change for 2 years, but I know a lot has changed. I'm 17 right now /18 after one month/ and I'm so confused. There are just so many things that are supposed to happen but they are not happening. And I'm so ready to get out of high school an...

Dear FutureMe, It will be your 22nd birthday in 10 days. I hope you finished college, and got married to that amazing boy of yours. He treats you right, and remember there is no one in this world that will love you better. I hope you got married and you have three beautiful babies now. Three, not less not more. I hope you have the job of your dreams, and that your parents are doing much better...

From Christian, Circa 2010

Dear Christian, It's as if I've only been shown one side of things, and for the most part, it's always been something scary. I use to feel "good" most of the time, but I was always doing and feeling things that were unproductive. I recognize my behavior, my bad habits so to speak, and I'm choosing to take to take control of myself, rather than let myself bounce off from bad idea to bad ide...

Happiness

You probably think that a man/woman is your only source of true happiness. But no, your wrong (Sadly). Happiness can't be found from only a person, it can be found from your favorite book, or maybe a song you just heard on the radio. That one that brings back so many good memories that it makes you cry. Or maybe that one that you have such a strong connection with, it makes you want to explode....
