A letter from September 23rd, 2018

Dear FutureMe, Hey you, I doubt you'd remember sending this. Wow, it's been 3 years though. You're 25 and let me guess where you'd be in life. You're probably still going to be at Facebook, hopefully at least E4? Probably still in Seattle? How motivated are you by work nowadays? How energized are you by the thought of getting shit done and validation from work? Are you still ambitious or are y...

A letter from October 1th, 2018

Dear FutureMe, Hello it is my from 2018! I hope you will be a successful student at the university of Leuven. But the most important things stays that you have fun.

And the most important question is, that I almost forgot, do you have a girlfriend? It's now 2018 as you...

A letter from September 20th, 2013

Dear FutureMe, I haven't yet decided what year I'm going to send this to. I don't know just how important that is anyway. Hopefully you're doing better with college (or have finished college in a timely fashion with good grades, depending on when I decide to send this to) and life in general. I wonder if you've followed your dream of becoming some sort of spoken word artist/rapper. If...

A letter from June 7th, 2018

Writing from freshman year: I understand why they call it a broken heart now. The moment i found out was shocking. I didn’t know that your heart actually feels broken. I feel a crack inching its way from the top slowly breaking through each strong part of it with every tear. My heart is strong. I stop the tares from ignoring what caused them, but sooner or later it breaks. The overflow of it...

A letter from September 19th, 2018

Dear FutureMe, We made it. At least I hope we did. Right now at the age of 20, we have a steady job, good work friends and one hell of a relationship with our family. I know it might not mean much at the point in our life when we receive this, but making it this far really has brought so much hope. We made it 3 more years. We made it to 23. Does anyone really like you when you're 23? (if you d...

A letter from September 17th, 2018

Dear FutureMe, Never stop growing and reinventing yourself, never stop believing that each time you can do more and more. Dont't put yourself last so you can please others. Life is short, make sure that you are happy. There are tons of meaningless thing happening around you every day, and I am sure that you are wasting a lot of energy on them. So from the past I am reminding you that if (hopef...

A letter from August 17th, 2011

Dear FutureMe, Well kiddo; you're 29. In a year you'll be thirty. All I can hope for is that these past ten years have been absolutely remarkable. As I sit here writing this letter all I can think about is receiving it ten years from now. At 19 I have already accomplished so much. And now I know you've accomplished even more. I hope by now you have seen so much of the world. I hope you've ma...
