Since we have been together, it has been a rollercoaster ride. Lots of ups and lots of down. We both know the ups are so much better than the downs.

I stayed single for 8 months, I accepted that I was not going to have a future husband (no but seriously, we've all had that feeling). You came into my life when I was not looking for "the one." We met on a weekend getaway to Gatlinburg, Tennessee and since then my life has been great.

Thank you for proving that you are in it for the long run. Thank you for also proving that you do not want to rush things. Thank you for not giving me an engagement ring, just because you are getting older and all of your friends are settling down. Thank you for the promises you made and kept when you gave me my promise ring.

This post is for you.

Thank you for letting God be the center of our relationship.

"Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Isaiah 41:10

Thank you for being a great listener.

"My dear brothers and sisters, be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger."

James 1:19

Thank you for not abusing me: emotional, physically, and verbally.

"And husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter towards them."

Colossians 3:19

Thank you for always uplifting my ideas.

"So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing."

1 Thessalonians 5:11

Thank you for teaching me new things.

"Whoever walks with the wise will become wise; whoever walks with fools will suffer harm."

Proverbs 13:20

Thank you for keeping your word and not lying.

"Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who deal truthfully are His delight."

Proverbs 12:22

Thank you for helping me when my anxiety and/or depression takes over.

"Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad."

Proverbs 12:25

Thank you for being forgiving.

"And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you."

Ephesians 4:32

God's timing is PERFECT.

I can not thank you enough.

I can not wait for this adventure called life together!

I love you!

AI music threatens creativity

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.
