On the Subject of Me

Dear FutureMe, (I'm 19, its 7:30pm, I have a crush on Ben, we're still dating Dan its at 2 years now. I'm in my first year at Guelph, and my Geography midterm is tomorow. I'm living in a house with Sarah, Julia, Ben, Stephen and some other people.) Don't forget that you don't have to do everything your friends do. There's time for work, and there's time for play. You've had enough play. ...

things to remember

Okay Will, lets talk about some things. You're 30 today. You've told people that this isn't a big deal, but this is you. And it is a big deal. Don't freak out. I'm not sure if you remember this email but I'm not going to lecture you. I just want to be a gentle reminder of a few things... 1) Be kind. Not only to others, but to yourself. 2) You had a very specific definition of success...

Ring

Dear FutureMe, Last night Liz gave me the ring back saying that she has not been a good girlfriend to me in recent months and that she has not treated me right. She wants to take a couple of weeks to make sure that she can commit 100% to the relationship. She says that she wants me in her life but part of the question is do I want her in mine after the way she has treated me, can I trust h...

A letter from October 13th, 2012

Dear FutureMe, 4 years ago you were a wreck. You pushed everyone that loved you away to protect yourself. The person you care about the most doesn't even think about you anymore. He hurt you. He probably doesn't mean anything to you today, but he was everything you wanted. The same music taste, style, goofy personality, caring and smart. Finally meeting someone so similar to you is rare. I kno...

A letter from October 13th, 2016

Dear FutureMe, I've been thinking too much lately. So much that I've actually been isolating myself unintentionally lately. Or maybe people are leaving me, I don't know but I feel really alone lately and I don't know what that's about. I've been going on hikes and fantasising about a different world, a world where none of this depression shit is happening and where Donald Trump isn't running f...

A letter from September 1st, 2017

Dear FutureMe, This is what a great teacher should be! 1. They should be skilled-- How are you going to teach to the future is you're not skilled??? Work hard to master your field and your skill so that you can be confident and make sure that you are teaching the correct things to your students. 2. A teacher should be empathetic! For students-- they're always seeking someone to make a conn...

A letter from October 12th, 2016

Dear FutureMe, I'm sending this email because I think it's a nice idea, I hope you are well, I know if you try, good things will come. Just remember, the cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you crave. come out, do things, don't stop writing in your journal, show your friends how much you like them. by the way, happy birthday! I know it's rather late but you're 13, that's a cool age to be....

A letter from January 12th, 2017

Dear FutureMe, Hi,不知不觉忙过去了这么久，打开邮箱发现之前想着过两天再回的邮件已经拖过了好几个月，现在已经2017年了，2016年的自己没有给2017的自己写信，记性越来越差了，有些事情应该立刻去做，别总想着以后，JUST DO IT!NOW!!有时候一个拖延的念头，可能会遗忘很久，唉。。。 现在是一个忙碌的上班族了，虽然现在在偷懒不务正业，想想自己上班的注意力真是太不集中了，这效率简直是在为什么后来完全混工资：）之前收到邮件的时候就是最忙的时候，其实就忙了那几天，不知道为什么后来完全忘了，有时候自己没感觉，日复一日温水煮青蛙，倏然警觉时，时光飞逝，会不会青春也是？惊觉时已然老去，细思则恐，是不是自己想着等等再做的事可能是来不及等的？ 发现自己总是对现状不满意，然后又不去改变，“你很有骨气，你很有想法，而且你不甘平庸，可是你懒啊”...
