Leave a little note for future you.
This thread will be locked on January 1, 2023, to be bumped on Christmas of the same year.
If you're looking for our last time capsule, it's right here. -
My response to last year,
I’m doing a lot better than last year. I still need to work on adjusting to this place, but I like the house and we’re getting a decorator as soon as the new year starts. Christmas was really fun, except we got stuck in Arizona because of the crazy weather and airlines. We got home at 9:30 at Christmas Eve, so we didn’t really have time to prepare for Christmas. It was still really fun though.
I don’t draw anymore, but that’s okay with me. I don’t think I could even draw a face anymore but that’s totally fine. I don’t really think about Asher anymore. Alex hasn’t visited yet, but it’s okay with me because we still keep in touch. I still have Berry, Sprout, and Paco tyvm. I still remember Texas, Asher, Destin, and GTQ.

To my future self,
Holy moly, please tell me you’re at least talking to someone right now. You need a bf rlly badly because who else are you supposed to rant to? My highlights look really good right now, and I wanna know if you’re getting them redone or have already gotten them redone. I wanna know who you’re friends with. Hopefully you grew another inch or something. I still miss Texas a lot, and I would honestly choose that over this place, so I hope you’re not still feeling that way in the future. I hope you don’t cry as much, I hope your grades are good because mine are disappointing right now. If you haven’t already, DO AN INTERNSHIP. Tell me how college is going for Meredith, let me know what school she gets into.
I hope that you still have that coastal vibe because I’m killing it right now. You’re so cool and I know that this next year is gonna be awesome. Let me know exactly how much makeup you wear, and for reference I currently wear mascara everyday, and nothing else. I hope you got tanner, and I really want to know if you’re really working out. Not making excuses, because I’m gonna be so disappointed if you’re still being lazy. I don’t really want to wake up and feel gross anymore.
Don’t forget:
- Texas 🌵
- Destin 🏖
- GTQ 📕
- Star Wars ⭐ -
Hey there, future me! It's been a while. I've been having a hard time lately and life is a little rocky, but ultimately things are alright. Stop procrastinating so much (because I know you totally are) and start doing some self care.
I might get a drawing tablet soon because I've had RSI (carpal tunnel) for months and I haven't been able to do digital art during that time. I believe RoF started this year and I made friends. We also lost our great grandmother this year. It didn't hit at first, but when it sank in it hurt a lot. She was really special. But on a brighter note, I sang with lots of people (you'll understand what this means) and had the confidence to ask to join a worship meeting (they said yes).
I finally told Tat where I live (country wise) and although it feels odd sometimes, it feels good to have someone I can talk to about our country without feeling like I have to hide. She makes me comfortable and I'm truly grateful for her.
Merry Crispy 🎄💛 I know that whatever you're going through, you can get through it. We can overcome any struggles or anxieties we are having through God. Our faith has gotten better, still feeble but I think we're starting on a journey that will lead us to a good place in life. Career plan? I want to be a digital artist but I'm still unsure, especially because carpal tunnel makes that incredibly difficult. I also would like to go into the military at some point. It'd be good for me to toughen up for my sake and yours.
God loves you and I love you, even if it feels like no one else does. You are loved. You are special. You are so worth it. Please don't put yourself down or blame yourself for things out of your control. Stop trying to handle everyone else's burdens and most importantly, stop caring so much about what other people think. You can't please everyone, so you might as well live a life that makes you happy.
Break your bad habits, start developing new ones. You know which bad habit I'm talking about. It better be gone by then or eLSE >:(
I hope you've gotten college and your career figured out. Maybe even find someone™ when you go there? Try to reach out and make friends, and make sure the friends you already have know you care. Good luck out there. -
I suppose it's time for me to write a Christmas newsletter to my future self. Again.
Here's a recap of the major points of the last year of my life, for future reference.
❤I got a car and named her Maria. She's very cute and reliable!
❤I have sustained critical levels of trauma this year. I don't know why I'm saying this like every year isn't just a new heavily populated and frequently overlapping bullet point list of life-shattering events, but this one feels different. More significant, maybe.
❤I recently moved in with my girlfriend. While this has led to much of the afore mentioned trauma, I'll gladly suffer any pain to be with her. I'm finally happy, in spite of everything.
❤I've been working more closely with my producer this year, and I've got high hopes for the album I've been planning. Dollface is also a singer, so we're planning on doing this album together. Like, as a band!!
I have a few things I'd like you to carry with you the coming year, as well.
🌙Work harder to maintain your relationships. Tell your friends you love them. Check in on them. Get them little gifts, try to see them when you can!! Text your dad! Go over and make him sit through cartoons with you. Buy Dollface flowers! Leave work early sometimes just to surprise her. Memorize her Taco Bell order, get almond milk for her coffee. Find a new thing to love about her every day, write them down along with every poem you write hoping to call worship anything but what it is.
🌙You decided a while ago that your only real purpose as a person is to be kind, and to help whenever you can. Things have gotten so dark lately, but I still think it's the right way to go. Just do your best. I have faith in us.
🌙Try to become a better worker. Find ways to improve your work ethic, maybe start working out again in order to make yourself more efficient. Please, actually consider doing that. Don't just say it. Everything hurts all the time.
🌙Get back to work on music. You've had a long enough period of rest and at this point you're just being lazy. Please don't forget you want this as your career.
🌙Work on your checklist for character development and worldbuilding. You've got a lot of concepts that need to be fleshed out.
My endgame goal for the coming year is to buy a house and get us out of here.
Other, slightly less pressing goals:
☔get your first tattoo
☔obtain or at least begin the process of a legal name change
☔regularly contribute to a savings account
☔get a dog
☔continue studying tarot
☔begin learning ASL
☔collect more books (especially poetry books)
☔try to get back into writing poetry
☔figure out a self-maintenance routine you can stick to
Consider this my Christmas list for next year. Please make it happen. Go as far as you can.
Best regards,
🥀road -
Hey, Future Me.
I hope we manage to get our self together. It would help a lot. Not only that, but that we are one year closer to the GTQ bench trio meetup. I really hope for that, even if the others forgot about it. This year had it's ups and downs, but hopefully, you can move on from this trauma. Hopefully, a different perspective comes into play. I'll see you on the other side of 15
Love,
the one and only,
Don -
Dear me,
Ok so you may not remember the to-do list I created last year of taking care of yourself.
Yeah...that didn't happen.
But you're going to have to get yourself together because you have a future ahead of you! Hopefully you've picked out a college and gotten motivation to actually do scholarships and gotten our mom to tour colleges. Actually, I know what's going to happen. It's going to be late spring and all of a sudden we'll be rushing from college to college every other day or something like that. Just watch me be right.
Anyway, hopefully you've also figured out a career for yourself that you don't hate, and work on being a better author!
Now, past careers and school and stuff.
Remember, you're worth it. Other people think you're worth it. And hopefully more people will in the future.
And for goodness sakes, make some friends irl.
Love,
You. -
This time next year, you'll be married! Congratulations!
Things are always getting better. Hold on tight.
Hopefully you're on T by now or at least closer to getting on it. Hoping it doesn't affect your work too much. I know parents can be...opinionated.
I'm not sure if you're back to school yet. If you are, good f---ing luck I hate school sm
That's all I have nothing more insightful to say -
Wow, gosh, another year has gone by. Never thought I’d be where I am right now.
Well, for starters future me, you better have gotten therapy or istg-
Second of all, I really hope Empires S2 or Hermitcraft S9 haven’t ended yet, because I literally have no idea how you’d continue with life without it lol /hj
YOU BETTER HAVE GOTTEN THAT AROACE FLAG, I’M TIRED OF HAVING AN OLD BISEXUAL FLAG LMFAO /lh /j /pos /nm
ACTUALLY, You’ve probably started learning how to drive by now! Is it as scary as I thought it would be? Or is it actually as cool as people make it out to be? Also, did you get the starter job you wanted? I hope we did!
Now, I’m going to address that by the time this is re-opened, it will have been a year since Picani died, and a year and a half since Techno died. It may have been painful, but it’s okay. It’s okay to be sad about it still. But they’ll always be in our hearts <3
As I had said in 2021, KEEP GOING. It’s worth it in the end! Your family may not be the best, but you still have your friends. LIFE. IS. WORTH. LIVING.
See you at the end of 2023! ~ Summer/Scott 🎧🏳️🌈💙
+Memorable Moments+
~I GRADUATED MIDDLE SCHOOL 3 (I’m also graduating class of 2026)
~I found out I’m not, in fact, panromantic and asexual. I’m under the aroace umbrella lmfao
~I finally remade GTQ Comic successfully, aha!
~I joined many fandoms and watched a lot of them end in real time (Empires S1, Afterlife, Double Life, Outsiders, Dream SMP and many others)
~My account turned 2 years old!
~I both left and then rejoined the gacha community, and I have over 100 followers on my Tik Tok account!
~and lots more! -

Hey Future Me
I’ve got a few goals in mind since we need to be better. SO.
✨ Quit letting your friend boss you around. Quit letting her take you away from your other friends during the glimpses of time you get to be with them. Let her know you need time with them too, and that you are your own person.
✨ Make your binders colorful. Please try to make school a little better in that way.
✨ TAKE THE TIME to organize your backpack!! Those random papers floating around can be very annoying.
✨ Start narrowing down what career you’d like to have. Eighteen options is not adequate.
✨ Don’t try to smile through your emotions anymore. Let people know when you’re upset. Don’t act like everything’s peachy when it’s not—you deserve to have your own emotions. Putting on a happy mask will only make it more painful.
✨ For goodness sakes, PLEASE remember to bring your index cards to school. Who cares if your teachers ask why you’re writing about the history of the atom in the middle of math? If it helps ease you out of panic attacks, it doesn’t matter.
✨ Get better at your writing! You’ve still got a lot to learn, so hubris is never an excuse to stop!
✨ Practice your drawing as well! It’s fun!
✨ Spend more time with your small siblings. Playing for ten minutes a day would make them happy, and it wouldn’t be the end of the world.
✨ Quit eating so much candy. All it does it heighten your emotions and make the dentist hate you.
I love you and I sure as heck hope you love me. So please make an effort!
Thank you and goodbye,
Me -

🌸Work On Your Person Hygiene! Brush Your Teeth Twice A Day! Shower At Least Once A Day! Stop Getting Milk At Lunch! Drink The Water Believe Me You Should Do These Things You’ll Stop Getting Sick So Often And Your Mental Health Will Be SO Much Better!

Peace Out -
To my future self,
yooooo wsp broskie, excited to see how much you’ve progressed, agedor de-aged, and in general, if your life is as saucy as you imagined, or if you’re even dead by now
✨Advice
✨Quit staring at a screen ingested with virtual pixels 24/7, no wonder your brain is turning into a disabled pile of mush
✨Even if you don’t follow the advice I have written above (which you most likely won’t), touch grass. For gamers, or e-girls, touching grass is very beneficial for gaming, as it reduces sweat in your hands, thereby reducing tension and easing into a better gameplay
✨Don’t f--- up you f---ing daughter of a third degree toasted b------

I am trying to spend more time connecting with my physical body and surrounding and not just living in my mind. I want to create the world I want to live in and not just dream of it.
My body is a temple and I need to honor it and all that it does for me. I think I'm finally ready to approach health without the triggers of eds. May all the work I've done this year in maintaining routines and being conscientious assist me this next year.
I hope my confidence will continue to grow and that I can tackle some of my performance anxieties.
Remember that inner peace is important but you need to use your energy to uplift others. Continue to practice being in the moment and becoming someone who others can rely on.
Also please create things. The time has come for me to begin to harvest the fruit of my labor. We are going to leave survival/trauma mode and start using our mental energy to make things instead of maintain them.
In the next year I want to truly realize myself for the gifts my ancestors have given me and not waste them. I am an artist. I am a musician. I have endless potential. I am more than the sins of my parents.
I will become someone worth remembering.
I'm so proud of my growth this year and am so incredibly blessed to be a part of the GTQ community again, even though I haven't been very active lately. I'm blessed to be able to help others here and that you've all trusted me with what you have.
I appreciate you all and am very excited to see where this next year brings us 🤞 -
Hey future me,
Well, I got the GED, the school didn't work out. Now you just gotta get out of here, but I say that like it's easy. More than likely you'll still be at this house, I don't really know if I'll ever leave.
It's getting bad again, but we're not gonna repeat this year hopefully. Especially the beginning of it. Maybe 20 will treat you kinder than 19. We lost Buddy on Easter and Darwin during Feburary break.
I'm just tired. A lot of health issues seem to be taking their toll. Physically and mentally, I'm quite at a limit. But I still have Zashi and Juno. They're the glue keeping me together. I love Juno, even though she's a little devil sometimes lol. Oh, and we also got to welcome Cooper into the world this year too. He's a cutie, I love him.
See you next year.
