Time Travelled — almost 3 years

A letter from Kelley, last year

Dear Kelley, I am writing this to be delivered to myself (you) when you are 37, a little over a year from now. I just re-wrote the first sentence, because the original plan was to send it to you on your 40th birthday. But next year may be more useful, in terms of keeping you on track. Also, I’m just a little scared to think of where you’ll be at 40 and to wonder if you will have waste...

TIME IS UP

Dear FutureMe, If you are sill with him and you are still not sure if you should be, GET OUT! You have given him adequate time to be the man he promised to be when you married him, you have nothing to prove. Life can be so much better, remember how happy you were before you met him! If you are feeling the happiness you did when you first married him, congratulations, you finally broke throug...

Hello again, my old friend.

Dear FutureMe, When you get this, take a moment to think about Gabe. If you've forgotten about him, or you laugh because this is so old and you've moved on, great.

Now, go hug your SO, if you have one, and if not (which I'm guessing is the more likely ...

Dear FutureMe, Hey. Its me/you on the 20th August 2006. Rememeber sending this from futureme.org? I've been living with Richard for almost two months now - and in a few days i'll get my GCSE results.

But dont forget that there really are good guys out there and Ben was the one who reminded us of ...

It's End of Freshmen Year As We Know It.

To FutureMe on the eve of graduating froIt's the End of Freshman Year am Stanford University, or on the eve of something completely different, It's a little hard starting this letter, knowing that three years from now I'm going to be reading it and seeing it as quiant or niave.
