An Open Letter To My Future Wife

Wherever you may be, whoever you are I hope you get to see this.

Hey there,

Let's start with this, I'm not easy to love or to deal with. I'm stubborn, I'm competitive, I'm picky, I have some forgiving to do, I'm a blanket stealer. What I'm not though is someone who is going to hurt you.

Let's just face the facts that life has not been easy, and will it ever be easy? Probably not, and that's the beauty of this is that even though I have those qualities that may work against me at times I have one quality that will conquer all of them, and that is the love I have for you.

I know some things about you already; even though I may not have met you yet, I know that you will be one of the strongest women I will ever meet, one of the most loyal, one of the most impeccable, also one of the most spiritual and beautiful women I will know. I know that you've been hurt before, I know that you're probably an athlete in some sport, I know that you're waiting just as patiently as I am for us to meet. But maybe we already have met, maybe we already have crossed paths but God said no. God said that we weren't ready for each other yet, so keep being patient especially when we are married because, to be honest, I will most likely test your patience a lot (so thank you in advance). I want to make a promise to you that no matter how tough life gets, that I will be your person.

Being your person means that I promise to support you in every decision you make, even if I may not agree with it. Being your person means that I promise to be there for you on not only your good days but also on your bad days. Being your person means that I promise to be the best wife for you. Being your person also means that on the days when you don't love yourself, I promise to love you harder than ever before.

Being your person also means that football, baseball/softball, soccer, and hockey season are all going to be interesting because our house will most likely be divided. Because let's be real there is no way that my future wife is not a fan of all the teams I hate, including Texas, Ohio State, Michigan State, Florida, Clemson, Auburn, and the worst two teams to ever exist The Boston Red Sox and The Boston Bruins, I still promise to love you. Being your person also means that when our future children come up to the both of us, and say that they are Alabama and Oklahoma fans, I promise to sleep on the couch that night.

We will make it, I promise.

Love,

Your future wife Becca.

Oh, and one more thing Boomer Sooner.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
