An Open Letter To My Future Husband

Because I'm already thinking of you.

An Open Letter To My Future Husband
Wall Devil

To my future husband,

It's a scary thought that I may already know you. You could be a classmate, a friend or an enemy. Equally as scary is knowing that there is a real possibility that I don't know you yet. I mean, no little girl's ideal life involves waiting until she's 40 years old to meet her husband. Either way, you're out there somewhere.

Since I don't currently know you to be the man that I'm going to spend my life with, I struggle with realizing that you're a real person. We all have our list of ideal qualities that we want in a significant other: Physical looks, personality quirks, etc. But because these are all things I have conjured up in my head, it's difficult at times for me to think of you as a living, breathing person. To compensate for this, I've begun praying for you. I don't know who you are, but I know you're out there. And I know that you're going through this crazy life just like the rest of us. So I hope you're doing well.

I also hope that you're praying for yourself too. I want Jesus to be your first true love, and I want you to make me your second. I want him to be the center of our relationship and in everything that we do together. I know that we all have ups and downs in this particular part of our life, and if you're struggling right now, that's OK. I don't need you to be perfect; to me, you will be.

I hope that you see your self-worth in all you do. I'm going to choose you to spend every butterfly-giving happy moment with and every gut-wrenching devastation with. I think so highly of you because of the things that I know you're going to have to deal with when you choose me as that person too. I've never been a settler, so I know that you're going to be everything that I've ever hoped for and more, if I'm lucky. And if that's true, you're one of the best ones that's out there. So embrace your awesomeness now.

Finally, I'm willing to wait on you. I've been waiting for 20 years now, and honestly, it could be a lot worse. I'm enjoying life and my friends and my freedom, and I want you to do the same. Experience true happiness without me, and come to me with those experiences when you're ready. Obviously we both have some growing and experiencing to do, otherwise we'd already know each other. So take your time, and I'll take mine.

God has perfect timing, and when our's comes around, I'll be ready for you.

Yours truly,

Your future wife

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.

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.
