Subject To Future Me

Dear FutureMe, It’s almost Christmas, 2005 and, of course, I’m haunted the ghosts of Christmas’ past and obsessing about an unknowable future and a ragged past. My present is grim – in a dead, lifeless, loveless and sexless marriage and a very stressful limbo because my hopes and plans for a future with the man I’ve loved for so many years are on indefinite hold. The ghosts from the pas...

heidi from the past

Dear FutureMe, Well well well, you got what you wanted... a good job, apartment in the city, expensive european vacations, you made the life for yourself that you've lied about for years.

On Leaving

Dear FutureMe, So. I'm leaving DC. So far I've managed to do pretty much everything other than what I needed to do (didn't pay off credit cards, defer loans, pack things, sell things, get rid of things, etc.). I've managed to end one relationship in a fiery plane crash. It was only TWO MONTHS, how could that possibly elicit two different three hour crying sessions? All the while I s...
