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 […]

Dear future me, I don’t know if you will ever read this or even be alive to read this, but I’m going to write it anyways because I have hope that maybe we’ll make it through. If you read this, I don’t want you to read it while crying after another sleepless night, wishing that […]

Dear future me, Before you read the rest of this, take out your Miles Davis vinyl and let it play. I would like to assume you still have that record and that you have a new, beautiful, old record player. I would also like to assume that like your teenage self, you live life like […]

Dear Future Me, Though you may not have thought so then, I hope now you know: you are loved, you are kind, and you are wanted. I hope you followed the path you have wanted since you were 9. I hope you stayed, and will continue to stay tried and true to your goal. […]
