Dear me, This time round you are a month late in responding to yourself, now that is saying something about us prioritizing ourselves! However, recalling our reaction when we received this letter, it was as previously "a shock", but a welcomed one. So, back then we were eagerly "chomping" on our toast before heading to Vans Warped Tour. Today is very different but some familiar experiences are coming up. That being in a few days you will be seeing the Foo Fighters and Rise Against with Dad, Tyson and Chelsea then on the weekend is Soundwave! Guess who is playing, New Found Glory (again), Tonight Alive (again) and so so many more! KEEN AS MUSTARD! So, those changes hey? Well remember that degree you went on about in your last two letters? That is done and dusted! Welcome to the life of being a qualified Social Worker baby! That was completed in December 2014, finished with second division honors class b, which I still don't get but you did above average! So what, you finished your degree, right? WRONG! You also got a job out of your last placement at headspace. Recall being at the QLD Youth Forum in 2011, 'No Access Makes Me Mental', that place they were talking about, you work for as the Intake worker and a Case Coordinator. Those days of slumming it at Outback Jacks or any hospitality joint is behind you! PS Outback Jacks was a laugh, but instead of judging those you worked with, the real lesson was that it was not the job for you. Now this job comes with it's challenges, at the start of the year it did seem all roses and sunshine until some major changes came but it happened so there is no point dwelling on what could have been. You are being challenged to develop the skills and knowledge you need to go wherever it will be in a year, or whenever. You will concur the clinical world. Love? Last year you asked a boy out, *giggles*, you were most respectfully rejected and 'friend zoned'. The disappointing thing is that you have let that impact you more than you should have. Since then you have slowly crept out of the hole and put the social wings back on, as a result the hastag #dannibangs may have caught on with some friends that are very welcoming and understanding to the wicked ways of my mind. But yes, you did start the year off with a bang and have trialled out the online dating (again) and well it has been interesting to say the least. One in particular is a a guy from Sydney, who you've opened up to more than you have to anyone previously. Whether it's the distance that makes me feel more comfortable, that I feel heard or that your ready to open up to someone and move past, the past. The rains are out in force and the football club has flooded again but you are happy. You still try to carry the weight of the world on your shoulder and please everyone but slowly your doing things for yourself and experimenting more with life! You are questioning our mental health lately but I believe it is adapting to vast changes we are going through. It is ok to be nervous but dammit we deserve to live on! PS You should have your license by the time you read this! Love yourself! x

Dear Chuck, You are now a year away from the pain and hell that was the nightmare of losing your children. Hug them tight today. Stop whatever you are doing and do what they want. Play with them. Be with them. Never forget what it was like to be on the porch only a mile away and to be denied their smiles and laughter and presence. Be at peace. You were peaceful today. Peace, Chuck

Well, here we are again. (you totally just read that in Buck 65's voice, right?) Forgive me. So how'd it go? Did you you finish your book? How's Jessica? Still with her? How'd you do with Robyn? I hope you can remember the struggle you were having when you wrote this. I hope you can remember counting down the minutes until you had to go to sleep and dreading waking up in the morning to have to cook at that shitty restaurant in Elkwater. I hope you remember missing Jessica and Robyn so much that it hurt sometimes, and I hope you can forgive yourself for the traps you set yourself in that respect. I hope you can remember all of this so that in 2016 when you get this letter to yourself you can put into perspective what's occurred over the 365 days between the sending and receiving of it, and meditate on what you need to do to ensure this struggle doesn't happen again. Because despite what we both believe, you really are a fantastic person. You really do have the talent and passion to make it in whatever field you choose. You can change the world; you do have the power. You just need to find it. Get on the bus and write poetry. Make music. Travel. Take riding lessons like you had always planned to. Go back to school. Do something for yourself and make the next year count for something. Allen Hood can not take looking back at another cycle thinking it was a waste of his time. He doesn't deserve that. I don't think anyone does. And listen to Nick more. He loves you and wants you to be happy. All of the good things you've just told yourself are basically from him. Best of luck, and I hope 2015 has been good for you.

Dear Ski, I hope that when you read this letter you are a better you. I hope that all your dreams are fulfilled- that you finished your degree and got as close to upper seconds honours as you could, that you made peace with your past and forgave yourself for your mistakes in general and with men especially, that you became the Christian that you wanted to be and that you discovered your dream job. You have been so hard on yourself and I hope that now you have discovered what it truly means to love yourself. You can do it! You are so strong and you deserve to be happy. Achieve your dreams. Love always, S.

Dear Maha, So it's been a year since I've wrote this and now you're reading it. You've really helped me out the past few weeks before we had reading week and I want you to know that I'll always appreciate it and I hope we've become life long friends. You're such a laugh to be around and you know just how to raise my spirits. Horizons may have been the best decision I've made in my life so far because it not only taught me how to be more open and not be afraid to approach people, but it led me to you and I'm so happy about it. You're such great friend and know I'm always here for you. Much love, Sam Xxoo

Dear Samantha, This week has been so wonderful; you just just got an ally position with SAS, an 86 on a presentation you did while having a fever, got a 90 on your article summery, and sure why not you actually have a date tonight cause a friend just asked you out yesterday. I know the past few weeks have been a little rocky but you've gotten through it, mainly with the help of your CMST prof, Maha, and Tea. Make sure to always keep them in mind and read your warm fuzzes if you're ever down, I know that helped me out not long ago. People love seeing you smile and talk about the things that make you happy, so many people have told you how joyful you are and open to talk to and non judgemental; keep that. Sure I might not even believe it at the moment, but I'm sure trying. So hopefully by now you have and things are still going splendidly. You know you've got those exams in the bag in a month or so! Much love, Sam Xxxoo

Hei rakas, tuli tässä netissä huomattua tällainen "kirjota tulevaisuuteen"-juttu. Halusin vaan sanoa että oon sun kanssa todella onnellinen. Tiedän, että myös vuoden päästä kun tän kirjeen saat, oon edelleen sun kanssa onnellinen. Haluan kasvaa sun kanssa vanhaksi asti, nähdä meidän yhteisten lasten kasvavan ja lastenlastenkin. Sun kanssa on niin helppo olla. Ja sä oot aina mun tukena. Ja mä sun. Teen kaikkeni että olisit maailman onnellisin mies. Koska sä teet musta maailman onnellisimman naisen. Rakastan sua nyt ja aina.
