A cure yet?

Dear FutureMe, When or if you read this you will have had diabetes for 40 years. Researchers promised a cure was "just around the corner" as long as you can remember. But you always knew that wouldn't happen, huh? Congratulations, if you have made it this far. Right now, in 2006, you have health insurance, excellent medical care, the best technology (insulin pump and blood test meters) ...

Привет. Это я, ты.

Dear FutureMe, У меня двухспальная кровать и вечно мятые простыни. Я не настолько отличаюсь от большинства людей в этой Вселенной, чтобы обо мне никто не помнил, но во мне столько пустоты, что кажется, будто ничего кроме туда уже не поместится. Я очень хочу кубинские звезды, мокрый снег и чужие руки. Мне достаточно своей души, но слишком много внутри того, чего на самом деле нет, слишком мног...

from future lisa

have you worked it out yet?. On the day of writing this you were planning your island. But im thinking you may die before you sort it. How difficult can it be?. Get an island, invite only good people to live on it with you. So easy. the root of all good is considerate. People will be polite, considerate and caring. If they do very bad things, you kick them off the island. If they do just bad th...

Dance Hall Everyday

Dear FutureMe, It was probably cheesy to send this on your birthday, but Happy 25th anyway! Hope you made it this far. I'm still waiting for the 21st to hit. 82 days to go. I know you got out of Chili's by now, congrats. Things are bad enough right now without watching us go through poverty again. I'm trying to cover the bills, I swear. Playing catch-up is in our genes; we should be ...

Dear Future Me... Remember to keep checking pastme.org. Once it's active, you can send me hindsight advice and sporting event results. So far I haven't heard anything from you, so I'm sending reminders for pretty much every decade. This will help both of us, so do not forget! ~I

A note from the past.

Dearest future self, I hope you are well. If you're reading this then you're still alive, which is good. As your past self writes this its been 74 hours since shes eaten. I hope she isn't still doing this to you. You deserve better than this. If shes still putting you through this, please get help. You know this isn't how you want to live. You know its not a life worth living. You're so m...

Hallo beste René en Lia deze e-mail is gemaakt op 23 sept. 2003 en ik hoop de e-mail die jij nu zult ontvangen ook nog mee te maken.

Hopelijk is het jou en allen die mij dierbaar zijn goed gegaan en ik spreek hier de hoop voor een voorspoedig en gelukkig leven voor jullie uit. Jullie vader Hans

Where do you live?

Well you are thirty years old today. Hopefully you have your own home and a good job now? Or perhaps you finnally made that move to Mt. Carmel that you had been contemplating. I would guess that Clive is gone by now, which is of course hard to imagine in 2006. Or have you somehow managed to walk away from all of that and go on with the rest of life, pretending that you were not forever chan...
