A letter from October 24th, 2011

Dear FutureMe, If you haven't married Christian by now, there better be a good reason. You've known he's your soulmate for 7 years so I hope you've saved up the money to have a beautiful wedding. You have the guy of your dreams so have the wedding of your dreams (despite Dayton's student loans). After you walk down the aisle, have the marriage of your dreams. Have the family that you two...

Subject: My Muse?

Dear FutureMe, Just two days ago you turned 35, so here is a congrats from the past. I just turned 24. You know, your my inspiration and my worst fear all wrapped up in one.

How's it goin'?

Dear Future Rikki, I felt the need to write a letter into two years in the future, for some reason it feels right and a hopeful in some odd way.

We currently on 8/19/2015 by 10:19 PM have four cats: Ben...

Dear FutureMe, You moved, to Portland, lived with someone who was insane, very abused early on and not clear on how to move past it.

Dear FutureMe, So... It's our (can I say our?) birthday. I'm 15, you're 16. I wish I could say something positive but things are going pretty rough right now.

A letter from June 24th, 2017

Dear FutureMe, Hi. Right now, past-you is still looking for jobs. It's been a rough time for you because you can't move in with the boyfriend until you get a job, but you really want to get out of your house. It's so stressful and you know how bad the home life is. It's awful how hard it is to get a job even though you went to college for 4 years and just graduated last month. It's really de...
