A letter from July 31st, 2018

Hello. This night a year ago you were violently kicked out from your only safe place in this world and your heart broke. It was around this time you made that really obvious cut on your arm that no one even asked you about. Has the scar faded at all? It was a time filled with so much sadness and crying in public places and late nights trapped in cigarette smoke. This night right now you ar...

A letter from July 27th, 2012

Dear FutureMe, So you've graduated college right? Like a few years ago I hope? Have you gained a few certifications and lost a few pounds? Good. If you're still over 200lbs. join a gym today. Yeah I know they're expensive and you don't want to, but do it and go every day. Print out a calendar every month and mark off each day that you work out at least 30 minutes. You need to stay in d...

A letter from Jul 25th, 2021

Dear future me, so it’s probably summer right now. you just finished your last year in high school. you’re now free from the torment of those years in school. with people that were friends for labels and not friends for life. there are indeed some great friendships that have come out of it but knowing stories said in the past i doubt you’ll be friends for long. you’ll be going into uni no...

A letter from July 22nd, 2016

Dear FutureMe, I hope you finally found peace. During this time you went through a really bad depression episode that slowly bled into all aspects of your life. It's okay though. If you remember, the months of June-July of this year, you have a bit of a revelation that you wanted to pay off your $61k in student loans and give some money back to your parents. After settling all debt and havin...

Time Travelled — 7 months

A letter from Jan 3rd, 2022

Dear FutureMe, If i learned something in 2021, it’s not to expect anything to happen. It’s better to be surprised when something does happen, rather then being disappointed when it doesn’t. sometimes you just need to learn to walk through the pain, then go above it, don't let it get to you. Sometimes, the person you think they'd be, aren't the actual person they are. And that's expect...

Time Travelled — about 10 years

A letter from July 15th, 2012

Dear Future Self, I am writing to you now, on the eve of my 20th birthday. I don’t exactly know what I want you to know that I don’t think you’ll know ten years from now. Who knows? Maybe I won’t change a bit and you’ll still be obsessed over the same boys, reading the same books, watching the same TV shows, and hoping one day you’ll grow into a woman that we both could respect. But I ho...

Dear Outward Grownup, Inward Child, Salutations. How goes everything? Where am I now? There is really no need to ask questions in these sorts of emails. I never understood why people would do things like that since it's not like you can write back and tell current me. So instead I guess I'll point out some goals and advice I hope I've kept in mind since Fri. 4 June 2010: - I want to tell ...

A letter from July 7th, 2019

Dear Di, Wow! Today, a day in the past, you received a letter from yourself from four years prior. You were a teen, you were just a bit naive, but you were wise. You still are wise - I think. In the letter you wrote about life at 17, and how the people around you (one person in particular) has impacted you in a way you can't even describe. To answer 17-year-old Diana's question, you do re...

A letter from August 12th, 2012

Dear FutureMe, If you don't know what this is, It's a email I wrote 10 years ago to be delivered today. July 6th, 2022. I actually already sent one, so you will get that somtime this month probably unless you got it already. I thought it was a little dry so I'm sending this. I'm sorry about the photo. I took that just now. I thought it should be a spontaneous photo. So your...33, almo...
