Time Travelled — 12 months

A letter from March 26th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, COVID-19! Ugh, crazy times the last few weeks have been and I'm sure they will be crazy for weeks to come and likely months. Life is overwhelming right now as the head of the household. It's depressing going to the store and trying to find needed food for the family. Thankfully, we haven't gone hungry and I always manage to find what we need but fuck if it's not depressing...

A letter from March 26th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Today is day 12 of lockdown in California for COVID-19. Yesterday, was a hard day for you. You found yourself sobbing off and on throughout the day, and you couldn't quite put your finger on why. You thought you were suffering from a ****** up mix of stress, PTSD, anger, anxiety all at once. Rob did his best to talk about it with you, but you couldn't find the words for what y...

Time Travelled — almost 10 years

A letter from the past

Dear FutureMe, I don't know where you're at right now. I've never really planned ten years ahead. Right now I'm in nursing school, about to start clinicals. Am I a nurse? Did you get your masters or doctorates? I'm engaged to Ryan, are we still married now? I hope so, I love him. Do you have kids like I've always wanted? I hope you're happy with where you are now. Even if things aren't how I...

A letter from March 25th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, It's a weird time right now. We’re in the second week of self-quarantine (voluntary, at the moment) to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. My roommates and I were talking about where the name came from and whether or not the "19" at the end was for the year 2019 that it showed up or some other reason. I haven't bothered to look it up yet. I had a moment just a few minutes ...

A letter from March 25th, 2020

Hey, Here's a prediction. Political predictions are always foolish, but if Tetlock is right, mine is no more so than that of an alleged 'expert'. 45 will cancel most of the US's covid-19 precautions. As a consequence its economy will far outmatch that of other nations, and he will win another term (already almost assured with the cretinous Dems having slithered hapless Biden into the nomi...

A letter from March 25th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, The date is currently March 25th and the world is currently going through a crisis. There is a virus going around known as the Coronavirus and there are a lot of cases and it's spreading rapidly. So the Health Association decided that all schools should close immediately so the spread of the corona can die down. Now that all the schools are shut down we all have to do our work o...

A letter from March 26th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Right now you're a week into being back in Oregon. You were just in Ireland, studying abroad. Since being back you've managed to drop acid and sleep with your ex. You've had a pretty great time. But coronavirus is also happening. You're scared about the future because you know you're about to enter into real adulthood in a year. We're heading into a recession and graduatin...

Time Travelled — 9 months

A letter from June 22nd, 2020

Dear FutureMe, I hope you found your happiness. I hope you learned how to honor and treat your body well this year. I hope you’ve let go of the trivial things that bother you about yourself, but find joy in the little things that have truly meant so much in life. I hope you have confronted your inner fears, smashed your insecurities, let go of your inner doubts. I hope you’ve embraced your in...

Time Travelled — 5 days

A letter from March 19th, 2021

Dear Me, You are a strong independent woman. Ok, now that you know that, let me say this: Stop breaking yourself down. It doesn't help. And I know that sometimes you feel like dying, but you can make it. You are not perfect, you are not everyones favorite. So please, stop beating yourself up for things you can't control. Just be you. Just find someone you trust like Mom or Dad and ask t...
