Hey you, Fingers crossed you've passed your first year (which we all know you will) as you would have revised for your exams (start it now!!!!). I'm just sitting in the kitchen of Mason and trying to imagine what life will be like in a years time, I've got some expectations which I am sure you will remember and I have that you have achieved them or are on your way to achieving them. I really hope that you continue to get better with your depression (I know it's tough I've been there) but just remember it is a feeling at it will pass. Just keep in mind the good things in life like your friends and family. Just work hard and you shall be rewarded! Remember life is short so make it worthwhile! Yours always, Bethany x

Dear self. I have found this website on stumleupon and thought it would be fun :) i don't know what will be going on with you right now but here on the 28th of February 2014, i was meant to start my dreaded homework about an hour and a half ago but oh well, my laptop consumes my time. I'm going to see Ellie Goulding live in the o2 with Anna tomorrow which fills me with excitement! Things are quite tight money-wise right now, I wonder will much have changed when you're reading this, will things be better, who knows? School drains me so much and it's only fifth year, dear god i dread to think how you're dealing with sixth year work in your time! Thinking of the future scares me a lot, does that still happen to you? The thoughts of college and careers creep into my thoughts and leave me full of worry. Maybe this will alleviate and I will be slightly more confident in my life choices, hopefully. I hate feeling unprepared. I'm beginning to ramble so I will try to keep this short with some last minute advice ( how cringey ). Keep Megan close, she may seem like she's got things organised, you need to talk to her and let her pour her feelings out, she will be reluctant at first but let her know you're there. Secondly, believe in yourself full stop. Thirdly, never forget to show mam and dad how much you appreciate them, help them round the house, look after them the way they have looked after you and meg. And lastly, enjoy everyday, find something good and cling onto it, okay? :) Have fun little future friend Past you lol xo

Hello future me, I hope this letter finds you well. I feel like I have come a long way, but at the same I time, it feels like my journey has only just begun. If over the next month you continue to show self discipline and courage you will be a much stronger and more fulfilled person. I am proud of you, and I'm sure you will make prouder still. When you read this letter, take the opportunity to congratulate yourself. Over the last 16 years, you have faced a lot of adversity and setbacks that few have confronted and recovered from. All things considered, although you have lost a lot of time to mental illness, you have matured in a way that leaves the rest of your adult life as an opportunity. For so long it has felt like you were hitting the snooze button on the alarm that is your life. Now you are finally wide awake, and you find yourself on a crisp spring morning, with the whole day in front of you. Congratulations, Farewell, friend.

Brate, nikada nemoj da odustaneš od svog sna.. :D To je san o velikoj i moćnoj Srbiji, ne geografski - već ekonomski i po obrazovanju, Srbiji koja pokreće promene u svetu i koja je nosilac slobodarskog duha. Srbija koja se menja svakodnevno na bolje. To je san u kome ljudi veruju u ljude, veruju u to da ljudi mogu da se promene, mogu da odluče da budu pozitivni i da poštuju druge ljude, njihove izbore - koji ponovo ne narušavaju tuđe slobode. To je san u kome bogati ne tlače siromašne, već zajedno sa njima obeduju. U kome ne postojo povlašćeni, niti potlačeni. To je san velike Srbije

Hey Jordan. This is the third attempt at this letter. I feel like I know you better than yourself, so what can I possibly write that would surprise you? Just remember: The Golden rule. Do to others as you would have others do to you. People' s feelings do exist, and they matter. Work hard and be sincere. Have the fortitude not to be distracted by menial things. Keep your eyes locked on the goal. And call your family more often. Congratulations for coming this far, by the way. I know you can do better though. Those nights where you absolutely destroy an assignment and sleep 20 hours the next day, they feel pretty good, right? You can do that more often with lots of time to spare before the deadline. You just need to want it. I hope you're successful in finding that burning passion for your work. And I hope you're successful in maintaining long term friendships. They matter most, because one day, I might not be here to pick you up by your boot straps. Regards. - J

12/28/12 Dear self, Might ramble a bit here, so bear with me. One, don't be too hard on yourself. Shit goes wrong, just breathe and try to figure it out. Two, I hope someone comes along that has made you really happy. It sucks being alone, and you deserve someone that is willing to put up with your shit and love you just as much as you love them. Three, has the Broadway addiction shown any sign of slowing down? As of now you've seen Book of Mormon six times, going to see it again this sunday 12/30/12, plus you saw Peter

Guten Morgen Future Leesome! Ok - well here goes! After 12 months of running this site, it's about time that you took a dose of your own medicine and actually wrote to yourself! It's an early Monday morning here in Hamburg - you've just sat down at your favourite haunt "Lieblingsplatz" in HafenCity. The coffee is yet to kick in, so please ignore any spelling or grammatical errors... There is now three weeks left here in Germany before before you fly out to Iceland for some northern light shenanigans with Shayne. To keep this short, here are some major events of points of note at the moment: - Nan died just a few weeks ago. Being so far away from home you often don't remember to think about her, which just makes you feel even worse. Make sure you miss her every day - she was a special little lady. And make sure you never, ever lose grandad's ring! - You're currently having a bit of a crisis over what to do work wise when you get back to Australia. You desperately don't want to go back to QUT. Ideally you'll be working full time for STFU and actually be getting some credit for the work - It was only a few weeks ago that you finally "let your hair down" and started "exploring". It has been awesome / horrible / eye opening and new. Why did it take you this long? And more importantly, what are going to do about it now? Hmm...? - Tam's about to start IVF in a few days - Shayne just broke up with Kev. Nothing too surprising, but she's just started dating some Irish guy - we've been calling him potato. She thinks she's in love... Oh dear... - Obviously you're in Germany! Don't forget how awesome it's been. Even if living with 16 people 24 hours a day has worn you down at times, please remember how much of an amazing experience it has been. Also Ritter Sport. - Adam and Cara are having "squidge" in less than two months. How terrifying! But hopefully you'll get to be a ninja-dad! Future Lee, here are some things that past Lee wanted by November 2013: - Be awesome at German! - Be almost ready to leave for Germany - or somewhere else in the world - Have your own one bedroom apartment in the city / valley (this may not happen if you're saving for Germany...) - Have cut down the number of jobs... - Oh, you should have also completed your dream plan by now! It better have been freaking awesome! - Please be in a relationship. You're getting too damn old to still be single. Yes, you like being single and not needing to be needed - but suck it up tacker. You've got to grow up one day! - Hopefully be looking good - please have somehow found a way to enjoy the gym and to go regularly. Maybe Rick has helped you with this? - God these are such banal requests... But perhaps that's what you need - some stability. - Oh, and hopefully you've made more of an effort at Guthrie Street to do stuff! Stop working quite so much (or don't, whatever) but at least be social. Go to the night markets, go for a beer, have people over more often! Be less lame, you antisocial workaholic.... Hmmm.. there's probably lots you should be saying to yourself at this point, but it's quarter to 9 and you have to get to the academy... I hope the last 12 months has been awesome - full of ups and downs and twists and turns. If you had written to yourself 12 months ago you wouldn't have thought that you'd be in Germany, so enjoy the ride! Be cool, man :) Past Leesome
