Dear future me, It's February 28th February and I'm sat in my University dorm room after just letting Ben Percival in (I'm hoping you're still friends with him, he's a nice guy). You've just gone through your first heartbreak and I'm hoping you've moved on from that now because it's been a year and you should. If you have, then I'm pleased because it means you're living your life; as you should be. If you haven't, then that's okay too. Heartbreak takes a while and it's okay to love and still love. There's nothing you can do about that, it just means it will take a bit longer than we anticipated. I hope you're still friends with him and everyone from Cefn y Coed though because they're decent people and it would be a shame. Maybe you need more time than you originally thought. You should be reading this in your new flat with Llinos, Sarah, Emma and Amanda. The one above the Launderette? If you've ever had a tiff or got annoyed with any of them, remind yourself of why you chose to move in with them. You could have decided you didn't want to with any and you did for a reason - because you love them. Show them the love. Show everyone love. Show the street you walk on love and let it fill you up so it almost hurts. (Love shouldn't hurt, which is why I say almost). Buy a meal for the homeless person sitting outside Morrison's or give someone a 'you are beautiful' sticker to make their day bright. Try and do something every day because that will make you better. And if you're depression has returned, that's okay. I'm here for you - I always have and I always will be. Just like every person that's in your life. It's okay to keep battling, because it means you're a warrior. It means you can save you have battle scars and that you were victorious. If anyone judges you for them, it's down to them not understanding. It's not because you're a horrible person - and I hope you've accepted that by now - it's because you're you and you've battled a different war. Keep fighting and loving and you'll be okay. You might not be great, but it's a place to start so you can be. Healing takes time. Have patience. Breathe. Me.

Hei rakas, tuli tässä netissä huomattua tällainen "kirjota tulevaisuuteen"-juttu. Halusin vaan sanoa että oon sun kanssa todella onnellinen. Tiedän, että myös vuoden päästä kun tän kirjeen saat, oon edelleen sun kanssa onnellinen. Haluan kasvaa sun kanssa vanhaksi asti, nähdä meidän yhteisten lasten kasvavan ja lastenlastenkin. Sun kanssa on niin helppo olla. Ja sä oot aina mun tukena. Ja mä sun. Teen kaikkeni että olisit maailman onnellisin mies. Koska sä teet musta maailman onnellisimman naisen. Rakastan sua nyt ja aina.

Dear Samantha, This week has been so wonderful; you just just got an ally position with SAS, an 86 on a presentation you did while having a fever, got a 90 on your article summery, and sure why not you actually have a date tonight cause a friend just asked you out yesterday. I know the past few weeks have been a little rocky but you've gotten through it, mainly with the help of your CMST prof, Maha, and Tea. Make sure to always keep them in mind and read your warm fuzzes if you're ever down, I know that helped me out not long ago. People love seeing you smile and talk about the things that make you happy, so many people have told you how joyful you are and open to talk to and non judgemental; keep that. Sure I might not even believe it at the moment, but I'm sure trying. So hopefully by now you have and things are still going splendidly. You know you've got those exams in the bag in a month or so! Much love, Sam Xxxoo

Dear Maha, So it's been a year since I've wrote this and now you're reading it. You've really helped me out the past few weeks before we had reading week and I want you to know that I'll always appreciate it and I hope we've become life long friends. You're such a laugh to be around and you know just how to raise my spirits. Horizons may have been the best decision I've made in my life so far because it not only taught me how to be more open and not be afraid to approach people, but it led me to you and I'm so happy about it. You're such great friend and know I'm always here for you. Much love, Sam Xxoo

Dear Ski, I hope that when you read this letter you are a better you. I hope that all your dreams are fulfilled- that you finished your degree and got as close to upper seconds honours as you could, that you made peace with your past and forgave yourself for your mistakes in general and with men especially, that you became the Christian that you wanted to be and that you discovered your dream job. You have been so hard on yourself and I hope that now you have discovered what it truly means to love yourself. You can do it! You are so strong and you deserve to be happy. Achieve your dreams. Love always, S.

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

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

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
