"Dearly beloved, We have gathered here today to get through this thing called life." – Prince
3/14/19 Dear Future Husband, I haven't really asked you to come through in a while, because I've been good living my best life. And I hope you're doing the same. But it'd be great if you could just pop up real quick this summer. Not to get married. Or to start dating. We don't... Continue Reading →

Worried bout what everyone else is doing.... the apple feature that tells me my screen time and what apps I’m spending the most time... Continue Reading →
Doooooo you know what tooooday is? It’s my blog-a-versary. ☺️ 1 year ago, I stepped out on a whim and decided to share my opinions, thoughts, experiences and even some secret feelings about life, love, and everything in between. Over the past 365 days, Dearfuture.blog has reached unexpected milestones, especially since there were no real... Continue Reading →
Note to self: you have to make time to take time for yourself. Otherwise you’re no good to anyone else. Make self-care a priority! Rest. Cook. Eat. Read. Exercise. Spend time with friends or family. Do whatever makes you happy. Whatever charges your batteries. It’s not selfish. It’s “giving the world the best of you... Continue Reading →
Dear Future,
