A letter from April 14th, 2020

A letter from April 14th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, This is 2020 Valerie. We are quarantined due to a global pandemic. People are dying, the government doesn’t care, per usual, and I wish I could be scared but right now I’m just numb. Terrifying events that kill lots of people are normal to me now. Some people are appalled the government is letting people die and I just have to laugh at them, otherwise I might cry. The poor, di...

A letter from April 15th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Today is April 15, 2020, 2:30 am. It has officially been 9 days since I have been in my room quarantined. Who would've thought that 2020 would start off to a rough year. The amount of death I have seen and heard. The amount of people that have lost their loved ones and the families that have been stuck abroad. My whole life is on hold and for tons of other people. Most ...

A letter from June 26th, 2018

Dear FutureMe, Multiple friends, mentors, and even my own basal ganglia tell me that "the fella with a hella good hair" is not the right partner for me. I knew something was off at the first meeting in 2013, fell for him two years later during a transitional time in life, and stayed with him three months shy of three years. Because he was not in a good place in life then and I had a...

A letter from October 5th, 2018

Dear Future Me, Are you happy? You are writing this from a lonely place, and all I hope for is that by the time this reaches you, you have found what you're meant to do. I hope you have a dog with a ridiculous name, a house near the beach, a fort of blankets to keep you warm and happy, a job that never feels like one, and I hope most of all that you have someone to share it with, because you c...

A letter from April 13th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, This is you from a year ago. Because of a pandemic taking over the world currently you have been in quarantine for weeks, the last quarter of your junior year was cancelled, and it's been hard to adjust. Also you just recently shaved your head, maybe because its something you've always wanted to do and you're not under the pressure right now of going to school and having to w...

A letter from April 14th, 2020

Min älskade Omar. I have lived in the apartment for a month now and it’s getting better day by day. Things are starting to fall into place, and even though you’re not here yet I can see in front of me what a wonderful life we will build together. We already have a stellar dog and four well-behaved houseplants, a full pantry and a cozy bed. With you here, it’s going to be a perfectly imperfec...

A letter from June 22nd, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Love. A simple word. A not so simple feeling. Everyone wants love at some point in life, right now your not completely okay because of love. A boy. 20 years old. He likes to think he’s a man but he’s not what I picture a man to be. He says he has “feelings” for you. Right now you don’t know him well enough to know if he’s lying. You hope not. Today June 21st 2...

Love is in the gym.

Dear FutureMe, I've been going to the gym. Yes, with our best friend Jennifer Torres. Me and her have been together for the last two months. I'm talking about having a loving friendship. So we've decided to go to prom together and get matching tattoos. But overall we've been training with all these different types of trainers. And in the morning I can feel the soreness which feels amazing. Ano...

A letter from December 18th, 2017

Dear My Future Self, I hope you're doing better now. Right now (December 18, 2017) you're kinda struggling to get by. I hope your confidence has improved and you're still smiling strong. Life has hurt you, I know, but I hope you learn how to live and let go. Anyways, how's life now? Good? Bad? Stressful? When you open this, it will be about your senior year of highschool and hopefully you'll ...
