Dear Krista,

I hope my dreams have came true and I am a movie actress and have met Rainn Wilson once. Enjoy your life!

Love,
Krista

Dear Ben,

Stop over analyzing things!

Dear future me,

I hope you are happier with life right now. See you over came your struggles, and you are a survivor. Now it is time to celebrate! You have been depressed way to long.

Jon,

Way to not settle or take the easy road out. Your sacrifices paid off big time. We did a lot of cool stuff along the way. we put ourself out there, we took chances failed at some and succeeded at others. we kept in mind high acheviment with low attachment. we new if we failed, we were building a strong foundation to succeed in the future. Loving and Marrying Nicole has been such a great experience. she has supported/loved me throughout every aspect of life. Our children have a great foundation to live a fufilled life. I was very blessed man. Dad always said that family and friends were the most important part of life. He was right. Thanks dad!

V-
I hope you accomplished what you've set out to do. But I hope that you haven't forgotten what is important. That you haven't gotten sidetracked. That all those dreams were reached. And the blood, sweat, and tears weren't in vain. I hope you never lost faith in God and what He said He would do in you.

Oh Zannie,

Are you having fun? Because if you're not - stop what you're doing. Call Karin. Make some pizza rolls, and put on Avett Brothers. Now dance. Just do it. :)

Dear Beth,

Hope everything was worth it

Dear future me,

I hope you still have all of my memories of Dad, and I hope you're still working as hard as I am to keep him close to our heart. I hope we're still strong and can find beauty everywhere, and that we're as loving to ourself as we are to others. I hope we've found lasting happiness in our heart, and that we're still growing up bit by bit, never too quickly. I hope you look back at these days of sadness and grief with fondness for all the things I've learned and all the growth it has brought to our family and our spirituality. Remember, you're closer to seeing him again than I am, so be happy!

Don't forget your prayers.
Love, me.

Is this who you want to be?

Dear Future Mel...

See? It wasn't that bad AFTER all!

Kind regards,
Past Mel

Dear Ida, I'm writing this to you in hope that all your dreams came true. I know the list is long, and that it is all there in your head. But the biggest one of all, the one you carry with you on your sleeve, well I hope you've made a life of the dream now. I hope you finally found bliss, and that you spread that light all around you both in your everyday life and music. I hope you're in the sun, like you've always wanted. I hope you did take the leap, I hope you found love over and over, I hope you got to see the world, I hope you learned to believe in yourself and I hope you finally became the woman you always wanted to be. I hope you forgott about the heartaches and selfdoubt, and let yourself be truly happy - just the way you are. I hope you love and laugh - every day, that you live to the fullest - every day, and that you never forget to keep the dream alive - every day. Love, You.

Dear Chanelle,
I sit here now in my 18th year, and I wonder how you are going to be when you are older. Everything that concerns you right now is important, and you do have your reasons as to why you worry about them. But, I hope that you have learned to relax in situations such as stressing over schoolwork. If you are not understanding something keep trying until you have worn thin. When you do wear thin, please try to remember that even if you feel alone in circumstances there is always someone you can call to recieve help. I hope you have also realized the fact that you do not need to be perfect at everything. You cannot be perfect. You are you, and from where I sit right now, you are doing a pretty alright job managing yourself. You have things that nag at you, because you have to get them done. You were so motivated last semester of college, and this semester you seem like you are just tired of everything. It is understandable, but you can't give up. I hope that I have been able to take you and morph you into the young woman you want to be. I hope that you do have a decent home, and I hope that you have the financial ability to care for your stepmother. Just remember that she loves you more than life. If she is not around when you read this next, just remember she will always be with you. I hope that you have made wide decisions with whom you chose to have as a lover. DO NOT SETTLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO NOT LIKE. You treat people like gold, therefore it should be reciprocated. Take care Chanelle.
Your dear friend,
Chanelle.

Dear You,

I hope everything is okay now... is it?

Love, Me

Hey there good looking! I hope your day is going well. I want you to keep in mind your values adn especially your bucket list. Skydiving may be knocked off but now is the time to complete the others. Family and friends will always be there for you, and ultimately God. Keep creating those lists of "how to make me happy." Right now I'm hoping you're a physical therapist or just giving back in general. Volunteering for others can be the best way to give back to yourself. If you're having a bad day, just remember: in the words of Ok Go, "When the morning comes, let it go, this too shall pass." O yea, I love you.

Dear Future Me,
Hey, umm...this is a little weird. Uh, I hope you're reading this from your office at which ever newspaper or magazine we end up wanting to work for, or your home office. I hope you are successful...and you know me, I don't mean rich, I mean happy. How's Ashley? What about kids? Did we have a baby the second time? Like I said, this is odd. I wish you were writing to mean. I wish you could tell me what happens this time when we try for a child. I wish you could tell me that things get easier, and the hurt fades away. I wish you could tell me that eventually I get better at spelling, and Andy doesn't always have to call me to give me spelling tips for my stories. I suppose more than anything, I hope you can tell me we're happy and healthy. That we fixed bad habits and developed good ones.

Anyhow, I have to go. Got that story with the insurance agency...wish me luck.

Dear future me,
I believe this letter and our life will make a lot more sense to you than it ever has to me.
As they say life only makes sense looking back at it. So since you are alive and reading this letter, I trust that what I am choosing right now is-was for the best. I trust that you are happy and that the things I have discovered about us helped you be happy. Congratulations on everything we have done! We have led a life some people only dare to dream of. I will keep having the courage to always follow our dreams so that you can read this letter with joy and look back at me in awe!

Jayne,

I'm sorry for the stomach ulcer I've given you. Hope we're cool!

Jayne

Dear Future Me:

Congratulations on finding the courage to believe.

You deserve the life, you've always wanted. You made the decision, took the steps, didn't flinch in unbelief or run away, when the dream seemed impossibly big,and scary. The beutiful aquamarine waters gently lap at your toes just as you always wanted. Bliss surrounds you. It is right, this pure dream, you dreamed and created out of nothing. Joy floods your soul, flowing up like living waters, everyone near is splattered with joy drops. I'm so proud and happy for you.

Please send me your journal in the enclosed stamped self addressed envelope.

I look forward to learning how to be brave enough to believe.

Love from Present Me.

Dear future me:
Don't forget about the love and waves, man. That's all you need.

Dearest future me,
Please go with what makes you happy. Don't pick what gives you money, or the most success, but leads you to the place you want to go. Right now, I'm thinking that's photography, traveling a lot, writing, and some research. Don't let go of your athletic abilities. Do yoga. Run. Play soccer. It's what makes you happy. And that's what matters most.
