Dear Diary,
I've been thinking of a few life questions that I can't figure out the answer to. Now, these 20 questions have been haunting me for a while now and I'm hoping that maybe if I write them down somehow they'll stop bothering me or I could find an answer in the future or something. Well anyways...
- How are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
- Why are there flotation devices under the plane's seat instead of parachutes?
- Do fish ever get thirsty?
- Is there an abbreviation for the word abbreviate?
- Why do people say your alarm clock is going off when it is actually on?
- Why was Eve not freaked out when a snake started talking to her?
- Why do people who live in the desert wear long sleeve shirts? Isn't it hot?
- What happens if a college student who lives on campus has a child?
- Why dose your skin color determine who you are?
- Why did the Latin language die?
- Who did the math when it came to school months and summer break?
- Why is it necessary to learn chemistry if I'm going to be a writer?
- How did the Israelites lose the ark of the covenant?
- Why do we drink cow's milk?
- If in the animal kingdom the male is the prettiest to attract females, why is it opposite with humans?
- Do criminals have a conscience?
- Am I supposed to be this short?
- Why are boys such jerks sometimes?
- Why am I not considered an attractive girl to boys?
- If Psalm 139:14 says that I'm fearfully and wonderfully made, then why are some girls at school made more wonderfully than me?
Dear Diary,
I've looked back upon the above entry that I wrote fifteen years ago as a sophomore in high school and realize that I was immature and naïve. But with life experience, I can answer those important questions about myself. For example, I may not be able to answer why there are flotation devices under the plane's seat, but I can answer questions 17-20.
17. The answer is yes. Yes you are supposed to be that short because you weren't done growing. You may have been 5'3 at the time, but if you were 5'7 at that time I would be over 6'0 now!
18. The boys were jerks because you were in high school! I mean some men are still jerks, but they were in high school and far from being mature.
19. You weren't considered attractive to boys because you didn't need to attract the wrong boys anyways. There was one boy put in this world for me and if you attracted any others, you may have missed him.
20. And oh, number twenty. You were right. Psalm 139:14 does state, "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." But where you were wrong was in thinking that those other pretty girls were more wonderful than you. I know two people today that would disagree with your question. God and my husband. After all, those opinions are the only ones who matter.
