Dear Future Me,

As you remember, we've been through a lot of rough times together, especially recently. So I'm going to get a little sappy with you because I think about you all the time. I always wonder how you're doing and if you've got everything that we've dreamed of.

I hope you have a husband who loves and understands you and all of your flaws. I hope he absolutely adores you and is always willingly to do anything to make you happy. I hope he's your best friend, makes you smile and makes you laugh until you can't breathe. I hope he loves being silly with you and I hope that when you look into his eyes, you can see that you're his world. I hope that you adore him and that you're the wife that you've always dreamed of being.

I also hope that you're getting to be the mom that you've always wanted to be. I hope your children are healthy and beautiful. I hope that when you look at them, you see the best qualities of you and your husband. I hope that you and your family are getting to live on land and in a gorgeous area like you've always dreamed of.

Make sure that you're making time for the things you enjoy doing like painting, singing, and photography. I know that those things bring you peace and it's so important that you don't lose them. I also hope you got that horse that you've wanted since you were about six years old! Riding horses has always been one of your favorite things, but you've rarely gotten to go ride. I hope your husband takes you and your kids hunting and fishing because anyone who really knows you knows that those are two of your favorite things to do. I hope that your family makes time to go camping in the mountains since that is one of your favorite places to go.

Most importantly, I hope you're genuinely happy. I hope that you've learned from all of the mistakes that we've made. I hope that you never lose sight of who you are. We've been through so much and have faced and overcome so many struggles so young. Now is the time to enjoy what you have. You deserve a life full of love and happiness. By no means will all of our struggles disappear, but I'm hoping that you're finally getting to live your "happily ever after." You truly deserve it.

Much love,

The Younger You

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.
