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!
Absolutely love this! I find myself doing this with holidays, the presumption that ME and fibromyalgia will be left at home and my just about 2 hours of functioning a day will become long hikes and exploring cities continues to play in my mind and expectations x
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. 💛✨
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!

my favourite kind of writing from you friend! more please 💕💕💕
So so glad you are writing here - a beautiful escapist read and a reminder alllll the realities are possible x
Thanks for hanging out with me! ❤️ YES, all possible! Although some are perhaps more achievable than others... haha
🫧🪄💕💫
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...
This was the best thing I've read in awhile. So good Sara, I was giggling and also yes'ing the whole time. haha
It’s amazing how much all of our future fictional selves have in common! 😁
I living a similar situation... I totally related to your story.
Though my story and disarray is in happening in US, New England.
Oh! Good luck to us!
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.
Oh, Sara, you make me smile and laugh out loud... absolutely love this!
You delighted me and my imagination...thanks for sharing. :)
This has really tickled me Sara! Trade the pears for pomegranates and the nightgown for a muumuu and its my imaginary greek life :)
Just what I needed to read this afternoon. Beautiful
Thanks for hanging out with me and my FFFS, Kristin! ❤️
The kittens part *could possibly* be accurate😆. Merenia x
Hahaha! But would they be well-behaved? 😂 Lovely to see you here Merenia xx
