Time Travelled — over 2 years

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 ...

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?

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...

A letter from February 7th, 2021

Dear FutureMe, I just received a letter from future me and it was so beautiful to read it and it made me feel magical inside. Just focusing on me is making life so rich and much more colourful. Not because colours have changed but because my perception of it has, or has the colours changed with my perceptions... there is no way of knowing for sure. All I know for sure now is Love is the answer...

A letter from March 7th, 2016

Hey Elaine, Happy 30th Birthday! I know it's been hard these days for you, with no career at all, having an dysfunctional family, suffering from a depression, no money at all, and the love of your life even left you. Yet, you are still there, not knowing what to do, barely breathing, listening to spotify (jack johnson, fix you, make you feel my love, lost stars), crying the whole morning and...
