Dear future me,
One memory I always want to keep with me are the memories of being with my family as a child. I don't remember many details of my childhood, but I do remember they were full of fun and bliss. I remember my parents working so hard to take care of me and make me feel loved, and I always want to keep that memory with me. Sometimes I think back to that time and it makes me really grateful. It impacts who I am today because it helps me to appreciate the small moments in life and c

Dear mom,
Throughout my life, I feel only a few people have made a significant influence on my life, one especially, my mom. I remember one time my mom told me a story of her and me walking down the streets, encountering a homeless man on the way to our destination. Initally, she did not think much about him, but I asked if we could buy him food from the bakery we were going to. Hearing this story shocked me, but it made me realize how lucky I am to have such an empathetic moral figure

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 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,
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 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 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

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
