An Open Letter To The Man I Will Marry

Dear Future Husband,

Hey there! I am not sure if we have met yet, but I want you to know how amazing you are. I want you to know just a few things before we fully commit to one another. I know some people are probably thinking, why is this young girl thinking about getting married and starting a family already?" Well, the truth is, I have been thinking about this my whole life. As of now, I have multiple pins on Pinterest about my future ring and our future wedding, but I want you to know I do not care all about that. I care about us truly loving each other and wanting to be with one another for the rest of our lives.

While the divorce rate in this country is constantly growing, I want to make sure we are not a part of that growth. I want to fight for our marriage, and I want to actually be happy that we are together. I know every couple goes through their rough patches, but we will work through it if that time ever comes. I want us to know that no matter what happens in life, we will be there for one another as husband and wife. I want you to take me out on cheesy dates, and I want to surprise you with a home-cooked meal on the table every chance I get. I want us to love one another deeply and show people that a marriage can actually last when you want it to.

When the time comes for us to have children of our own, I know we will strive to be the best parents we can possibly be. I cannot wait to see you holding our babies and me sneaking cute little pictures of y'all. I want to show our children what love truly is. I want to show them that they must work for what they want in life, and that it is not just handed to you like most people think. I want to make sure that they are rightfully disciplined if they do wrong and show them that they just can't get away with everything. Children in this generation seem to not know what it means to be told what is wrong to do and what is right. I want to make sure that our children know that they must respect their elders because I do not want to have disrespectful children. I know that we can raise our children right and even through the tough times, we will have each others backs.

All in all, I want you to know that I am passionate about making my marriage work and having children that are just as amazing as you live their life. I want our kids to come to us and ask us questions about our life and our story. I cannot wait to grow old with you. As I am living my life and you are living yours, I want you to know that when the time comes and we meet, my whole heart will be in our relationship. I cannot wait to see where this life takes me and when I will finally meet you.

Sincerely, Your Future Wife

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
