::FUTURE ME::

If "to future" was a verb, this site would enable you to future yourself. You can send yourself an email on a future date, to check up on your resolutions or your relationships or your rememories.

They've also got archives of others' letters to themselves. Some are dorky: "How long is your hair now GIRRRL?" Some are sweet: "I hope you're still married to Kai, he adores you like no one else." Some have hacked the system, sending emails to others: "Hey, it's Tony, your boyfriend from 2003. I don't know if we're together anymore, but I hope we're both happy."

Some are trying to be profound: "All I'm asking for is a little respect, maybe a moment of silence for your fallen PastMe, who is no more and who sacrificed so much for your freedom." And some are succeeding: "All my promises are tautologies."

I plan to future myself, though I'm not sure how future I'll get, or what I hope to remind myself. I will not forget the things I've figured out, how I feel about people, or why I am so unique.

I wish the site enabled you to write email to the past. Now that would be useful.
