Dear Good Girl

You felt so unworthy of anything good that you took anything you could get and called it enough…

You Are Anything But Average

Posted on Mar 10, 2020Mar 9, 2020 by Germ Magazine guest author

Dear present me, I know it feels like the walls are caving in on you. You have bad day after bad day after bad day. You’re exhausted all the time and you feel like your friends are getting bored of you. You’ve been on dates with boys and girls alike, but nothing ever happens because […]

Dear Future Me: Times Will Change

Posted on Aug 14, 2019Sep 22, 2019 by Germ Magazine guest author

February 28, 2018 Dear Future Me, Times will change. Right now, I am in the calm before the storm. Along with times changing, relationships (with friends, parents, and siblings), the structure of my life, and the way I view things will change too. Somethings, though, must stay the same. Stay optimistic. Life is not going […]

Dear Present Me: Your Imagination Is Power!

Posted on Jul 9, 2019Jul 9, 2019 by Germ Magazine guest author

Hi Margaret, the insecure version of my present. I can feel what is seeping through your bones right now. I know how hard you try to seize your tears when the worst thing hits you like a bullet shot your heart. I even saw how your face reddened while clutching your jaws tight to keep […]

A Letter to My Three Future Mes

Posted on May 15, 2019Sep 22, 2019 by Luciana

Querida Ashamed Future Me, I hope you know that you’re not the only one making mistakes. Every piece of guilt you feel—for being absent in a relationship, for forgetting a promise you made, for shouting at someone you care about in anger—you must remember everyone is making those same mistakes. It’s important that you feel […]

Dear 4th Grade Me: It’s Going to Be Okay

Dear Fourth Grade Me, It’s going to be okay. Trust me, it will. I know it seems as if the whole world is against you right now, but it’s not. Fourth grade wasn’t a great time for me, and you will remember it for a long time. I still remember those awful people and how […]

Be You, For You

Dear 18-year-old me, Hola, amiga, how ya’ doing? I believe you survived high school. Congrats. However, today I lay on my bed perplexed. For whenever I think about my future, my heart almost skips a beat, I get goose-bumpy, and my feet get cold and numb. As for years to come from now, I’ll be […]

To The Me I Once Was

Posted on Jan 12, 2019Jan 11, 2019 by Germ Magazine guest author

Dear Past Version of Me, Don’t worry, we’re still alive. You didn’t think we were ever going to see this day, and you had almost given up on it so many times, so I guess the most important thing I need to tell you is that it happens. I know that right now it doesn’t […]

Dear Me I’ve Never Met

Posted on Jun 23, 2018Jun 22, 2018 by Germ Magazine guest author

Dear Me That I’ve Never Met, I may look like you. I may speak like you. I may act like you. I may be you. However, I don’t know you. I don’t know what your beliefs are. I don’t know how many friends you have. I don’t know how you feel in this moment. I […]
