To my future soul mate :)

So, I've been thinking lately about my future. Mostly about who I'm going to share it with. SPECIFICALLY, my future husband. Because I'm pushing nineteen now, and y'all.....I don't have a lot of cute left in me. I need to find a man, forreal.

Ok, ok, I know that that was slightly dramatic....but whatever. When you're eighteen you feel like you have to live as much life as possible as SOON as possible. It's like a mid- mid-life crisis. In my head it's always like

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU'RE ALMOST TWENTY, YOU ANCIENT DECREPIT FREAK!!!!! SOON YOU'RE GONNA BE GETTING SENIOR CITIZEN DISCOUNTS AT CATFISH COUNTRY, AND WHAT HAVE YOU EVEN DONE WITH YOUR LIFE SO FAR?!?!? DO SOME LIVING, DANGIT!!!!!! YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME!!!!!"


Which, of course, is all ridiculous. But it doesn't change the fact that I am ALREADY dreading menopause. And I'm not even nineteen yet. This is a problem.

And, as I do with all my problems, I work them out by writing about them.

SO. I decided to write a letter to my special someone (whose identity is still unknown at this point....) to express my frustration at his absence in my life so far. Also to tell him some vital things. And, who knows? Maybe one day when I actually meet this guy, I'll go back to this post and make him read it and he will laugh and tell me I'm cute. Because he's gonna be that type of guy. :)

SO. Here goes. :)


Dear future husband slash love of my life slash father of my children slash person who puts up with all of my crazy,


So, I know what you're thinking right now.

"Myra, you're a freak. You don't even know me yet. Why are you writing me a letter? You're so adorably weird. (You BETTER tell me I'm adorable, or we're gonna have a problem...)


To which I say, YES I am a freak, and if you don't know that by now you're in for a rude surprise, my dear....and the reason I'm writing you a letter is because I am EXTREMELY frustrated with life right now sir, and you are not helping in the least. Because you are not HERE. But hey, it's all good. You're probably busy gallivanting around with some other girl. Which is totally cool....as long as you dump that trick as soon as you meet me. :) hahaha, seriously though....on a deep note, I know I have no idea who you are right now. The only thing I know for sure is that you're walking around out there somewhere. I don't even know if you're looking for ME, like I'm looking for you. Who knows, you might be dating some girl you've been with for years and totally thinking "She's the ONE!!!!" Because we ALL think the person we're with at the moment is THE ONE. But I don't care who you're with now, or who you've been with in the past....what's important is that in the future, you're going to be allllll mine. :)

Just so you know, I pray for you every night, even though I don't know your name. I pray that you have enough laughter to keep your life happy, enough friends to keep you company until I arrive in your life, but most of all I wish you enough sorrow to know what true happiness is. Because after all, what would happiness be without sadness? We wouldn't know the flippin' difference. We'd be all, "Oh, you're taking me to Disneyland for my birthday? What was that, you got me a pony? You're proposing with the Hope Diamond? (By the way, don't do that for real, guys. That thing has seriously bad juju.) Well, that's nice. I think. I wouldn't know, because I've never experienced anything NOT nice. But thanks for the gesture."

And that is seriously uncool.

So, even though some people might think it's strange, I pray that you have sadness.

Also, on a purely selfish note, I kinda hope you have dark hair. I've always been a sucker for that.

Although I know it doesn't really matter what you look like.


All that matters is that I love you, and you love me. Even though we don't know each other yet. Isn't that cool?? I think it is. And listen dude, I know that I have a lot of flaws. More than usual actually. But I am so thankful to know YOU are out there somewhere, and you will accept me for all of those flaws. In fact, they will be what you love best about me. And I know YOU'RE not perfect either. But see, that's the beautiful thing about love. It's not about finding the perfect person. It's about finding the person perfect for YOU, the person you're perfect WITH. And for me, that is YOU. :)

So in conclusion, Mr. Future Soul Mate Who I Do Not Know Yet.....I just want you to know I'm here. And I'm waiting for you. And I know the day you walk into my life, will be a day I remember forever.


Also, I hope you like the following things, because you will be dealing with them for the REST OF YOUR LIFE.

• South Park. Lots of it.
• Sushi (YES I enjoy raw fish. Deal with it.)
• Books. I read a lot. All the time. I do a LOT of reading.
• MUSIC. You will hear guitar on a daily basis, along with lots of singing. Also piano and violin.
• There will be a lot of reminiscing about my high school marching band days. BOB WHITE!
• We will watch the Princess Bride at least once a week, and I fully expect you to be able to quote parts of it to me.
• Cuddling is mandatory.
• HARRY POTTER.
• We WILL have a cat. I don't care what you say.
• When I have a son, his name shall be Findley, and we will call him Finn. NO, not because of Glee (Even though I do like that show).

And last but not least.....you will have to deal with me telling you each and every day how much you mean to me.

So, (insert unknown name here), I hope this letter has been informative for you. I can't wait to meet you, and I am excited for the rest of our lives to start. :)

All of my love (and PATIENCE, because you, sir, are apparently a Prince Charming with a very SLOW white horse),

Myra.
