A Letter To My Future Daughter

A Letter To My Future Daughter
impious digest

Dearest Daughter,

I write this letter to you at the tender and virile age of 21. Here's a picture for reference.

Look how full of life I am. You can almost see the lack of fatherhood in my smile.

Anyways, I can't even begin to tell you how much I love you because I don't know you. I mean, how would I know if I love someone I don't even know? But we can clear that up fairly easily.

Do you like Star Wars?

If so, then I can at least say that I think you're fairly tolerable. If not, well then I assume your adopted parents are the ones who gave you this letter.

But I digress.

My plan is to give this to you on your eighteenth birthday, which will most likely mean that you're currently a senior in high school. Thus, I think congratulations are in order. Great job on getting that athletic, academic, or poor people scholarship!!

So sorry if you didn't actually get a scholarship to college. But if you need any help filling out your McDonald's job application, talk to your mother.

I gotta wrap this up, but I do have a few questions for you before I go. You'll be receiving this letter in a reality far different than the one I currently occupy, so I'm interested to know what it's like.

Did Trump win the 2016 election?

How's my mansion?

Am I still handsome? If "no," why are you lying to your father?

Lastly, I need you to fill in the blank so that I will know if I raised you well or not. If you can finish this sentence, despite whatever mistakes I've made as a father, I can always have some shred of dignity as a parent.

"Dicks out for _______"

Okay, so if you can Interstellar those answers to me that'd be great. Do you know that movie? If not just watch it on your iPhone or whatever device Apple has out that was built with the blood, sweat, and tears of Chinese children.

Anyhow, it's Friday night so I gotta go do some things that I'll disown you for if you ever do. Ta ta for now!

Love (maybe),

Your dad

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
