Funny, this sounds a lot like my Fictional Future British Self. 😂

Amazing! 😂 I seem to remember having similar dreams prior to my move to Yorkshire, but that was before I knew about the 7am strimmer issue...

The stuff of my cottagecore dreams!

“She does not take her phone with her, and she definitely isn’t remotely tempted to hate-scroll the Daily Mail or to read smutty Star Wars fanfiction for a desperate 2pm dopamine boost.” 😂 this killed me.

In a world of short attention spans and fast content it is no small thing to take the time to stay with something as long as this. Thanks for reading and supporting, Melanie! ❤️

As a francophile I can definitely relate to the future French self :) I definitely need to escape into it more often.

The good thing about a fictional future is it’s always there just waiting for us around the next corner...

Please train Monty to fetch the papers! Katie’s granny’s dog ACTUALLY did do that!

It seems unlikely, given that we have yet to train Monty to reliably sit.

You are such a lovely writer, Sara! This made me laugh out loud while simultaneously dreaming of purchasing an apartment in Paris for my future French self, who would be a sophisticated literary woman, of course... even though I currently live in an American suburb. Thank you for sharing your delightful wit!

Bloody brilliant, what a delight day dreaming mixed with humour and reality. I have a fictional self. A surfer chick, sun kissed skin, barefoot 👣 beach vibe. With the sun on my face, the ocean gently caressing my feet, a tropical flower in my hair. And my trusty old VW camper van. 💛✨
