Time Travelled — almost 3 years

A letter from May 16th, 2018

Dear FutureMe, I am sure you have picked yourself up by now. More so, I am sure that others have helped pick you up by now. Nobody dislikes you, they just didn't know that you needed to be helped. Sadly, as a culture, we don't communicate well with one another anymore. It is not personal. You have taken it personally but it was never meant that way. And, the truth is that you have been tr...

A letter from May 16th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, At this very moment in my life I am newly 27 years old and living through a pandemic. We are on "lockdown" and it means we have to stay home and it's been difficult to keep the mind afloat. I actually did catch the virus, COVID-19, and it was rough. I've never felt fevers or body aches like that. My breathing was bad but thankfully my asthma did not give any complications. As...

A letter from May 13th, 2018

Dear Ronny, Yesterday was our senior prom. There was a face in the crowd that I never got to see and it was yours. Decorations in our high school meant that all of the cases with trophies and pictures were covered up. They covered up your picture on the one night I needed it most. I know I say this too much, but not a day goes by that I don't think about you and the things that you have miss...

A letter from May 11th, 2011

Dear Emily, By the time you read this 10 years will have passed. Ten years, hopefully full of memories, new experiences, laughs and tears, ten years full of life. I can only imagine where I am, and what I've done in those ten years, and I hope I have lived up to most of them. Please use this email to look back on these past ten years, to take a moment to remember everything and soak it all in....

A letter from May 11th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, I hope you’re doing well, you might find this letter super cringe in a year but whatever i think it’s a cool idea. So I have some questions for you (well me), like is the corona over, did we find a cure for it, or did it transformed or a new virus appeared, because life’s crazy right now. Today, May 11th is finally the day we’re allowed to go out, did that change, like did we ha...

A letter from May 11th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, This one will be a year away, so it gives you a little something to look forward to. I know right now you feel lost. I know this feeling of sadness and despair is so hard to manage, but I also hope by now it's gone. I know I deserve more than temporary happiness right now, but I hope I have more than that a year later reading this. I promise you it's not selfish to want more f...
