A letter to Miranda

Dear Miranda,
It is obvious that you are struggling to find yourself and your sense of belonging. Having an abortion can be an emotionally taxing experience, and it can leave one feeling lost and lonely. One thing is for sure however. Self-loathing and depression will be no way to deal with your past. Yes, you wanted to have the baby, as did Michaelis, and your parents did not, but you should not allow yourself to become influenced by others beliefs. Be strong, stand up for yourself and what you believe in, and through that you will be able to gain the confidence to become a stronger person and find a sense of belonging. I think the one opportunity you had to be happy with yourself was when Michaelis and you were planning on getting married, and having the child. Michaelis really offered you an opportunity to find your place and be somebody. Now, at college, you seem lost and in an attempt to give your life some meaning. You should attempt to either re-connect with the people that have taken your life this far, and positively affected it, such as Michaelis, and avoid people like Brian. Attempt to give your life some meaning and you will be a more confidant person who truly feels loved and a sense of belonging
