I'm Maranda. I wake up everyday never feeling sorry for myself because I've seen that things could always be worse. So, if you have the opportunity to read this, you're life is already better than you thought. I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, the good & bad come in a package, and what's meant to be will always find a way. You call it cliche', i call it life. I am 17 and I have never been more thankful, proud, happy, or in love in my life, as I am now. I'm lucky I'm in love with my bestfriend, a United States Marine, and I fall in love more everyday.
