Miranda July Predicts Your Future

Let Miranda July predict your future!

Miranda July is the kind of artist who switches media about as frequently as most of us replace toothbrushes, bouncing from performance art to visual art, to movies to fiction. Now she's taking on the craft of fortune-telling. Her second feature film The Future comes out at the end of the month and we're putting her fortune-telling to the test.

Do you want Miranda July to predict your future? Tell us about the essential dilemma of your life by 11:59PM on Sunday, July 17, and we may contact you to have Miranda tell your fortune on-air.

Like you, I have many different thoughts and interests (!). So, I am wondering...when I die what song will I be listening to?

Currently I'm in an amazing relationship, but in the past everytime I'm in one, I end up doing something stupid. So I was wondering if you could see me and my boyfriend staying together forever?

I have a very good job in a small city in prairies. Thing is, the job is only for 8.5 months a year. This is kind of a blessing as in the off months I can focus on my art practice. But lately I am wondering if the job is holding me back from pursuing my practice as much as it is also funding it. (the job is teaching visual arts at a college).
Should I focus more on my art practice or continue the job/art balance? Also, I am thinking about getting a dog.

I am stuck. I really don't know if I should move out sooner rather than later, but staying is hurting me. I want to go to Los Angeles or maybe New York. I can't get the idea of New York out my head especially. I am sort of afraid of walking around the city. Tell me Miranda, should I be afraid? Should I wait it out? As much as I would like to leave I don't know when or where.

Will I be able to read the signs? Our only son, Oliver, just died of cancer. He was three years old.

I don't know what's the right job to do next. I also don't know if I should stay in NYC.

I am in my late thirties. I recently made a dramatic career change in order to pursue a personal dream or calling. It involved making personal sacrifices, relinquishing security, scaling back my lifestyle, and checking my ego at the door.

I am just starting a new life and am filled with tremendous excitement. This has always felt like the necessary path to take, yet I can't help but feel a fair amount of uncertainty and doubt. I have never questioned my ability or talent, but I am a stranger in a strange land. I don't know if I really belong here.

Was this the best choice? Will I find what I am searching for here? Were the risks I took really worth it?

Last September, I moved to a foreign country, with a man I briefly met 17 years ago in Sumatra and who reappeared last year, after we had no contact for 15 years. I have no job(for the first time since middle school), my retirement funds are running low, I don't speak the language, and every other week his 3 very "free" children come for the weekend. Should I continue with this new life?

My wife wants to sleep in separate little beds instead of one big bed, sort of like on the Dick Van Dyke Show.

What should I do with my life after having one child and i am fast approaching 40? Is another child onthe horizon or will that bring a complete halt to my career?

Should I remain an artist, or look for something more financially stable? faith or a sure thing?

I recently achieved my lifelong goal after ten years of sustained effort. I have no regrets about everything that I have given up in order to achieve it, but now I'm at odds with myself as to what comes next. The things that I know should come next don't look as appealing as they once did, when they were still just possibilities. Do I keep moving the the direction I've been headed, or should I see if I can still turn a different way?

dear Miranda, I am an early thirty-something who moved to a city in pursuit of love. I found it - though not with the person I was imagining, and the experience has become the core story in the memoir I'm working on titled "Welcome to Which City". I've been told by fortune tellers before that I would have to make a choice between love and my career as a writer...I guess my question is: do I continue to endeavor to have both? Will this new book lead to the success I've always imagined or will it cost me my relationship?

How long can one continually straddle a balance of doing what makes one happy, satisfied in feeling as if they have responsibility toward others and making money? Is this a fluke? Is there such thing as striking a wonderful place, and maintaining that over time as it changes and adapts? I hope so.
