Dear MLA,

You will get speeding tickets and fall down the stairs and lose your student ID and forget to call your mother and waste your money on fun things and drink alcohol too frequently and ruin an expensive shirt, and you might even have failed sewing class in seventh grade. You will probably eat too much crap and become fatter and less attractive than you’d hoped.

Here's the thing.

As much as we try to deny it, you can't plan a life. Or even a lunch date, for that matter.

And it’s really, honestly, seriously not that big of a deal.

Love,

Yourself

Amen.

Life is definitely not something you can plan detail for detail.

And if you try, you will most likely be disappointed.
