An Open Letter to the Man I'll Marry

All I can say is bless your heart.

Sometimes I lay awake late at night curious as to who you might be and when I'll meet you. Will it be in an Olive Garden as I eat and laughing a bit too loud? What about in a bookstore where you're questioning why I'm sitting in the middle of an aisle with at least five books stacked beside me?

Either way, when you decide to walk into my life and change everything, I hope you're buckled in and ready for one hell of a ride. Frankly, darling, I know you will be wondering what on earth you've gotten yourself into and I don't blame you.

I laugh too loud when I'm nervous or anxious. So when we go on our first date, be aware. I can't control it. I'll be so nervous butterflies will stream out of my stomach with each belly laugh.

I babble when I get excited. When you ask me a question, I'll get pumped that you actually want to know about me and not get in my pants and probably start babbling random things about myself and accidentally look over the question you asked.

I dance and make really weird noises when I'm happy or something good happens. You'll probably laugh and call me an adorable idiot and I'm perfectly okay with that.

When I decide to let you meet my co-workers you will know that I really like you. They're pretty intense and crazy but I can't live without them. They've seen me with no makeup and ill. They've seen me at my best where I'm dancing around and singing as horribly as I can. They've seen me brokenhearted and have hugged me oh so tight. So don't be scared when they give you looks or ask questions, they just want the best for me and little do they know that you will be.

When I decide to let you meet my family you will know that I want you to stick around. My family has seen me fall hard for guys that have only used me and hurt me. But, my family is much kinder than my co-workers. They'll give you a chance as long as you talk. They're loud, crazy, and some are as redneck as they come, but they're good people.

When I decide to let you meet my two best friends, bless your soul. They know I'm fragile and fall in love easily. They'll wonder whether you know how to calm me down when I'm anxious and whether you know how to handle me when my issues come about. They'll doubt you, but they will come around when they finally realize that you're not going anywhere.

I don't know what will make you want to stick around. Will it be that you're curious and you want to stick around to see what I'm all about? Will it be you like it when I laugh too loud? What about when I talk nonstop when I'm nervous? Or is it my dancing when I'm happy?

I want you to fall in love with all that I am. All of my problems and flaws. All of the good things and my goofy ways.

But to my future husband, I can't wait to see who you might be.

Bless your heart.

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.
