An Open Letter To The Baby I Conceived Just To See if the "This is What Your Future Baby Will Look Like" Simulator Was Right

Honestly, I was hoping you'd be cuter.

You're a wonderful gift, and I can't wait to see who you'll be.

But honestly, I was hoping you'd be cuter.

Facebook has this ability to just suck me in with their fun quizzes and headlines. When I saw that one of my friends from high school posted about what their future baby will look like, I couldn't wait to get in on the fun. So I followed the link, and it got to work right away. I didn't have to submit any information. No photos or anything. It really amazed me that a Facebook quiz could determine how my DNA and an unknown partner's would look in a real baby. So I wait about ten seconds to see my future flesh and blood on my iPhone screen. Incredible.

Here's what you were supposed to look like: Big blue eyes, thick golden hair, an adorable pink hat, and an Instagram filter.


The minute I saw this precious face, I couldn't wait to see you in real life. To post photos of you on Facebook, get endless likes, and make old friends jealous. So I did what anyone would do, and got to work! There was really no time to waste because sometimes in these Facebook quizzes, if you try them more than once your result changes. I couldn't risk that! I got to work that day.

I carried you for nine months, and could hardly contain my excitement. You were going to be here any minute.

Then you came. And you looked nothing like your Facebook photo. First of all, you were a boy, which made me wonder why you were wearing that pink hat in your photo. Never heard of a boy in pink before. You looked like a wrinkled old man in the form of a baby. And even though it confused me at first, you weren't even wearing that cute pink hat which I thought was a ripoff.

I'm sure you function the same, and at the end of the day, there's still time for you to get a little cuter, but I'll just have to wait until then to post pictures of you.

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.
