Time Travelled — 12 months

A letter from December 7th, 2016

Dear FutureMe, Sometimes I have trouble motivating myself at work, while sometimes I am over the top. When I am less motivated, it's because I am working on menial tasks with fixed outcomes. Make the nametags, the participants use them, the program goes on. In fact, I have so little motivation that I don't even think about the "correct process" anymore. After action reviews and such - no o...

A letter from December 7th, 2016

To Future Self From Old Self The Buddha once said “What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.” To be wise you must already know you’re a fool, but to just be a fool is to not admit you are one. Life is made in not black and white, rather than many shades of gray. The shades of gray you see one day, you might not see again the next. Yet, it doesn’t ...

Subject

Dear FutureMe, Right now you are on the journey to beginning your own life. Focus on you and bettering yourself for the future. The little things that may seem important now, will be minuscule looking back. You're in school because your parents want the best for you. Don't disgrace them. You're here to learn. To get an education, the kind that they were never able to receive. Honor them and do...

A letter from October 5th, 2016

Dear FutureMe, Wow. You've just turned 18. For some very odd reason I’ve not warmed to the idea of it just yet. Legally being allowed to go to pubs, clubs and drinking. By this stage you've reached your final days of being a child in care. However as I began to evaluate and reminisce on my childhood I realised how many mistakes I’ve made and things I’ve learned in just a short lifespan of li...

Last 22 days of my 22nd year--A letter from December 6th, 2016

Dear FutureMe, Time flies in a different way nowadays. On a regular setting, hard days would take long and the better ones will just pass through. This is the opposite of what I felt in the past year. My better days stayed quite longer than the hard ones. But do these benefit me? No. I never wanted to bask in happiness. This may sound odd, but this is the reality. For I know, that those moment...

A letter from December 6th, 2016

Dear FutureMe, I just found a pouch full of my neoprint stickers from a decade ago and thought to myself, "How much have I changed and what hasn't?" I've written to the Future Me in the past but it's been years since. So I asked myself, what if I were to leave earth in a year? What would I hope to achieve then to leave peacefully? It's 19 days before Christmas. I've just completed the ...

Right now I am dating the most amazing person that ever existed. His name is Nick Rudolfsky and he loves me very very much. He's in hawaii at the moment but should ...

A letter from November 30th, 2014

Dear FutureMe, I'm sitting here listening to The National and thinking of my future me. I will be skinny and wear amazing clothes that show off my gorgeous ballerina figure, and best of all, Francis is going to love me back. My braces will be off and the two of us will be the most beautiful couple ever. Even though I'll be taken, I'll have everyone's attention, I'll be the center of it all. I'...
