A letter from May 15th, 2013

Dear FutureMe, Umm hi. I guess this is kinda weird typing to myself. I guess I'm not really the creative type so yeah. I don't really know what to say. I'm meant to be doing homework right now. Urg... gotta study for my Economics test. By the time I get this, I will have finished school! Wow. That seems like aaaggggeesss but I guess it will go fast! Did I get to be a peer support leader?

A letter from May 27th, 2019

Dear FutureMe, "Oh, the places you'll go." Each time I have written one of these, I have been heartbroken. It used to be over myself and my perceived value and flaws, and then it moved onto relationships, but still had to do with my perceived value and flaws. Some things never really change. I can't believe this has happened. The whole situation with Steven - I'm crying while writing this...

Dear Madeline, You did it. I mean, I think you did. I'm not actually sure when graduation is, but I looked it up and I think it's today? Anyway, hopefully this comes in the morning so you can read it before you go to your grad party and have lots of fun. I am on a self love binge rn (we journaling and playing Khalid šŸ˜«) so I wanted to give you some advice before college. Usually when you're ...

You have survived abuse, alcoholic parents, assault more than once, toxic relationships with friends, lovers as well as family members. Just one of these let alone all of them together wo...

Hello Juan. It's me, Juan. This may sound crazy, but I'm writing to you from the past. I'm a sophomore right now. I'm writing you this email from this boring graphic design class. Ugh, so boring. We're doing this job application thing with the resume and the cover letter. You may not remember this assignment but yeah, that's enough about that. Now let's talk about you. You are probably a senior...

Hey Andres, How did you like this year? Did you enjoy it? Did you ever learn new things? Did you gain muscle or did you gain weight? Did you get your phone paid off? I hope you are able to pass the school year without any F's. Keep your head up because no else got you the same way you got yourself. No matter what you do people always have something to say so just do you and go chase that ...

A letter from May 8th, 2016

Dear FutureMe, At the time of writing this, your AH maths exam is in a few days. I'm not feeling very confident - I'm not even sure I'll pass but that's not really why I'm writing this letter to you. I'm feeling pretty consumed by exam stress: it's inescapable and unavoidable. Even when I take a break, there is this inevitable guilt that I'm wasting time. Even in few moments of rel...
