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.

Does anyone really like you when you're 23? (if you d...

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.
