Miranda, I’m writing because I’m kind of pissed off at life so listen to me. It is almost midnight and I have school tomorrow but I feel this is more important.
This is posted the day before your 21st birthday because you better listen to me when I say you better not touch an ounce of alcohol. Remember how mad you were tonight? I’ll refresh your memory. Dad is crippled with whatever he has and the family is broke as shit and you’re about to start your second job and mom can still go and buy all her cases of beer. Listed conflicts make dad yell at mom and then mom drinks until she loves him again. You called her upstairs because its really hot and she was too drunk to even turn the fan on. She won’t pay for air conditioning but she will pay to drink enough to not care. I’ve never hated mom but I do right now. Which brings me to speak on behalf of you being an adult now.
As of now, I am dating Caleb Jesse Porter and our 19 month is in 6 days. If you’re not still with him when you’re reading this, just stop reading because I hate you. I’m being real I’m not afraid to hurt my own feelings. He is the best guy in the world and his family is amazing and not all fucked up like yours and he better have done something really really terrible if you broke up with him. If you did something to make him break up with you, once again, I hate you.
Since you’re still reading, I’ll assume you’re still with Caleb, or possibly named Miranda Porter now in which case thank god. Remember March 23, 2013? Spring break? Please take this moment to remember. Anyway, I really hope you dont have kids yet because 21 is still too young. But when you do here’s some advice coming from adolescent you.
Don’t treat the kid like a baby
Don’t just let them do whatever like your parents did.
Make sure they know you love them
Raise them in church please
Even if you’re broke, if your kid is cold, warm them up and if they are hot, cool them down.
Don’t name them something stupid.
Find a way to get them to talk to you as much as possible.
That last one is important. I can’t tell mom or dad anything because they will either make a huge deal and say I’m the worst kid ever or not even listen because it will “stress them out and make them have heart attacks and die” and if dad is dead now, I’m sorry. If he’s alive I’m truly shocked.
When the kid needs to stay at grandma and grandpa’s make sure they go to Caleb’s parents. If mom turns out anything like her mom she is now a verbally abusive bitch and should never ever be trusted with young minds. Or take them to Dylan because he’s freak in awesome. Please tell me he has a girlfriend by now?
Here’s some more things about life right now.
I’m in love with Caleb
Emily is 13 and the most annoying thing ever and I can’t stand her and she’s starting to not be a very good kid
Dylan is in the navy, and he’s happy even though he’s alone.
My best friends are Caleb, Carson foust, Nathan watsek, Tristan hanneken, and still korie beth. If you have not talked to any of these people lately pleeaaassee contact them because they are really cool and honestly the only reason you are even making it through these bullshit teenage years. Olivia lawson isn’t on this list because as soon as you set her up with Zack it was done. Sorry she has her first boyfriend and you don’t matter. Please tell me they broke up.
You are typing this on the nexus 7 which is pretty cool, your iPhone is shipping and should be here tomorrow.
Right now you have been going to Hartford assembly of god for almost two years, and please tell me you haven’t given up on God because he hasn’t given up on you.
It is now April 10th.
Five more days till your and Caleb’s 19 month. He’s the best.
If you haven’t painted anything in a while please do so.
Did you get fat? I’m about 115 right now it better stay that way Missy.
I can’t think of much else to say except please dont fuck up too bad. Life is a terrible thing to waste. Reread perks of being a wallflower and paper towns by john green, I feel like you just should okay they are really good. And watch some boy meets world. Whatever I’m done for now, you might have some more time capsule mail soon because this has been nice and I feel a little bit better about my life.
Love, Miranda
Specifically, the collection is Disney’s line of childrens books called The Wonderful World of Reading. I dont have any children, so people find this odd. I was originally drawn to them because the older Disney movies are expensive and I needed my nostalgia fix. That and they’re just an easy thing to collect.
Recently, my boyfriend of these last 4 and a half years has started reading them to me when I have a bad day and let me just say, it is the most amazing thing.
I have no idea why I love it so much but its such a beautiful mix of the Disney stories, the pictures, but most of all the boy.
Its such an intimate and innocent time together. Especially after a long busy day, I have never experienced anything as lovely as coming home to a dark and quiet room, only lit enough to see the pretty pictures, and just quiet enough that I can focus on his voice and the beautiful way he forms his words.
Moral of the story is- if you like to read, and have someone you love more than anyone, ask them to read to you. You’ll thank me later.

<b></b> I always thought about my soulmate, even when I was really little and I wondered what he'd be like and if hed be funny and perfect and make me happy and I really wish I could go back and tell my little self that he's everything I hoped he'd be and I truly am the luckiest girl in the world. Instead of laying awake heart broken like most girls, Im up all night with my mind racing because I'm way too happy to sleep.<p/></p>
