A letter from March 14th, 2020

Dear Future David, It is March 14, 2020. Cal State LA has cancelled face to face classes and is in the middle of a transition to online classes. Mother has been going to grocery stores to get food and supplies before stores start closing. School still feels a bit meaningless at the moment, but I am almost out. I don't have a clear sense of direction after graduation. The government is also use...

Dear Future Me, It's only been about 11 months since I wrote this, but it's going to seem like so much longer. Today is Sunday March 14th 2021, your 20th birthday.

I hope you made th...

A letter from March 13th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, The earth is experiencing COVID-19 a corona virus. Some of the schools and college and pro sports are stopping. Billy's school is shutting down for now.

A letter from March 13th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Today is March 12th, 2020. The world is in a frenzy due to the coronavirus. I didn't leave my apartment today, but I also have reached a point where I am sincerely not "scared" of this virus. I've had a lot of conversations today about this virus.

A letter from March 13th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, I hope you're well. I've been putting off writing this letter because I want it to be perfect, but that's exactly what the problem is: I need to stop wanting to be perfect, I just need to get things done. We can think about editing and perfecting it AFTER it's finished. On the way home, I remembered that I am constantly changing and I won't be the same person as I was ...
