Dear friend from 8th grade,
One memory that will always stay with me would be an experience from my 8th grade math class. Before this, I thought patience was just about waiting. I absolutely dreaded math, however I always looked forward to seeing my new friend whom I would help out everyday. Whether it was a simple problem or just listening over and over again to whatever stories he had to say, being there for him was the highlight of that math period. Many would often make fun of him for being slow, or

미래의 나에게
두 달 전 겨울방학 때, 나는 15년 동안 살았던 서울에 혼자 잠시 다시 들렀다. 그때 나는 한국에서 가장 유명한 타워 중 하나인 남산타워에 올라갔다. 밤 8시, 눈이 내리는 가운데 나는 산을 올라 남산타워의 꼭대기에 도착했다. 그리고 전망대에서 내가 좋아하는 노래를 들으며 눈 내리는 서울의 야경을 바라보았다. 그때 내 머릿속에는 이대로 살면 절대 안 된다는 생각이 떠올랐다. 나는 더 큰 목표를 가지고, 내가 진짜 원하는 삶을 위해 더 노력해야겠다고 느꼈다. 지난 학기 동안 나는 기분이 항상 가라앉아 있었고, 학교를 제외하면 밖에 나가지도 않고 아무런 활동도 하지 않았다. 그 순간은 나를 돌아보게 만들었고, 앞으로 어떻게 살아가야 할지에 대한 방향을 잡게 해주었다. 이어서 나는 옆에 있는 사람들의 웃는 표정을 보며, 나도 언젠가는 꼭 그렇게 행복하게 살아야겠다고 다짐했다. 그래서 너도 그 순간을 절대 잊지 않기를 바란다.

Dear Kao Po(great aunt),
I love you so much. Although I don't see you often and didn't grow up seeing you more than a few times a year, whenever we did see each other, it just felt so right. You are one of the sweetest and kindest women I know, and your smile and laugh lights up the room. I miss you. When memory loss first started, it didn't feel so bad, because when you saw me you still knew who I was. I know this because you always told me the same thing: "Oh! 你比我高!" Or, "You're taller than me!". E

Dear Anyone,
When I think of a memory I would not want to forget, I’m immediately taken back to a beach date I had with my friends in middle school. I clearly remember getting driven to Newport Beach, it was a busy day, the weather was perfect, and I was with my closest friends. It was a blissful era that symbolized the peak of not only my friendship, but happiness. Even now, I’m always reminded of the same warm feeling that I experienced that summer day. Moreover, it remains as one of th

To my future self,
I hope to keep a memory of everyone and everything that has made me afraid to let go. I've come to realize I'm a mosaic of everything I’ve ever loved. It is my identity. Each little thing that I've experienced adds a piece to the collage. From blasting music into my headphones to the shows that make me laugh and cry, to the goals I plan to strive, and most importantly, the people who have made me grateful to be alive. I hope to remember the way the air smells before it rains,

Dear Future Self...
A memory I hope you never forget is the first concert you went to. When I was standing in that crowd of almost 500 people who were are singing along to the songs I loved too, I felt like I really belonged for once. I remember how excited I was so get ready and dress fancy. Unfortunately, I still remember how how bad my makeup skills were back then…Im so lucky I had that opportunity of experiencing such an intimate moment, and Im so happy that now going to concerts is a tradit

Dear Anagha S...
When you are older, I hope you will remember the fun times you had during your time as a sophomore in your school’s film class (NTV). In December 2025, your class participated in a 24 hour film festival and you made some of the best memories of your entire life. I remember the way the room buzzed with anticipation, as we waited to be assigned a song for our film, the film we had spent 2 weeks planning for in hopes that the song would align with the story we chose. What makes

Dear Future Me,
I hope the memories of the fun things I do with my younger brother stay with me until I die. Since we were both young, we never got along and fought every chance we had. I ended up despising him. I was disgusted and always angry. I said a lot of hurtful things that definitely affected how he behaves presently. It made me realize how much impact my words had on him, how much he subconsciously cared about what I had to say. From then on, I was more careful of what I said and di

Dear Future Me,
One memory I hope will always stay with me is dancing and just feeling completely free. I remember moving without worrying about how I looked, just enjoying the music and the moment. The energy, the rhythm, and the feeling of letting go made everything else fade away. It wasn’t about being perfect—it was about feeling happy and alive. That memory matters because it reminds me to be confident in myself and not care so much about what others think. It shapes who I am today by h

Dear Future Me,
I think one memory I never want to forget is this random late night drive I went on with my family. It wasn’t planned or anything, we just left the house because it was too hot and nobody felt like sleeping. The streets were basically empty and everything felt really quiet, like the world slowed down for a second. We had the windows down and the air was warm but still felt nice, and some old songs were playing that everyone somehow knew the words to. At one point we just star

Dear Volleyball,
Never would i have thought that we would ever be as close as we are now. It’s crazy how a sport can bring people together because literally less than 9 months ago we were all strangers. Its hard to think about how we might grow apart in a couple of years, but i wanna do everything possible to make this not happen. This season brought unforgettable memories and had me in the moment thinking about how I never want this to end. The warm feeling i had on the bus rides back to sch

Dear Future Me,
One memory I never want to forget is when my family and I used to go out every weekend to try different places, like different restaurants or cafes. It was something we would do as a family, especially when we first moved here, to explore the area and discover new things. Even if we had a busy week, we would go from places like a boba shop to a Chinese supermarket an hour away, and I knew that I could rely on the weekend to spend time with my family. More recently we haven’t

Dear future me,
A memory I hope stays with me is a time when someone chose me, even when they had other options. It made me feel seen in a way I wasn’t used to. That moment really stayed with me because it reminded me that I matter, and it changed how I see myself and the kind of relationships I want in my life. It’s the type of feeling that I hope everyone experiences at least one in their lifetime; a memory where someone else chooses you. Sincerely, EL

Dear Future Luke,
Hi, it’s me when I’m 12. I just want you to remember how much fun it was playing video games, especially after school or with friends, laughing and trying to beat levels over and over. It might seem small, but those moments made me really happy. I hope you still remember that feeling and still make time for things you enjoy, even when life gets busy.

Dear Xu
One memory I never want to forget comes from my childhood. One afternoon, just before sunset, my parents, my sister, and I were all home. We decided to cook a simple meal together—pork rib soup. Instead of eating in the dining room, we carried the whole pot to the balcony of my parents’ bedroom, where the warm sunlight shone directly on us. I still don’t know why that moment felt so special, but it became the best meal of my life. Everything felt slow and peaceful. There was

你好未来的我
你好未来的我,时光荏苒,转眼之间现在的我已经16岁了。其实,我有点儿无法想象出来你的生活,我不知道一会处在何种境地,在哪个国家,说着什么语言。你会是什么工作呢?你有考上心仪的大学吗?你的人生构成配料增加了吗?又或者减少了吗?如果可以,我希望你可以似风似水,自由自在,无拘无束。虽然我理解成人之后会有颇多烦恼,许多裹挟,许多迫不得已.....但是无论如何,要记得无愧于心,不忘初心。希望你无论何时,都可以在浮躁的环境中静下来,不要急于求成,成为一个好的猎人,等待最好的时机。但与此同时,也要做好充足的准备,在面对任何挑战的时候,可以接住命运的机会。未来的你一定会更好,比我做想象过的所有都更好,你一定是站在山顶眺望远方的人;你一定是回过头不会说后悔的人;你一定是比任何人都更坚定的人。我在现在遥望着不久将来的你。 Translated Version: Hello, future me. Time flies. In the blink of an eye, I am already 16 years old. Honestly, I can hardly

Dear Future Me...
My favorite memory that I don’t want to lose is being with my grandma. She always provided me with comfort whenever my parents made me upset and was always there for me whenever I needed. She was always there with me and always prepared meals for me after my school ended and wrote down my schedules to make me happy when getting home from school. She always prioritized me and was always angel to me, I never want to forget that! Sincerely, Your past self

Dear future me,
I know it’s been a while….. a few years….. fine, a few decades, but who’s counting? Everyday I’ve spent has brought a new light into my life. Do you remember your favorite stuffed animal? It was a golden retriever puppy…Biscuit….you used to love him…you probably still do. He was the one you went on imaginary adventures with and made you happy. But most of all, he was yours. He would always be yours. Love, Your younger self 💗
