Dear Future Husband

This time is shaping me to become the best wife ever.

Dear Future Husband,

It is crazy to me to think that the man I dreamed about as a little girl is out there. Even though, now, it may seem like you are never going to come.

Us women, we do this stupid thing where we give our lives timelines. We tell ourselves we will be married by a certain age and have kids a few years later. We tell ourselves we will have the house and car of our dreams by the time we are married with kids.

My timeline is way off. I was sitting here earlier feeling super sorry for myself. The guy who was supposed to be super into me just dropped off the face of the earth, my ex-boyfriend who tore my heart apart and stomped on it is as happy as can be with someone else, everyone around me is so in love, and I am on my seventh season of Grey’s Anatomy curled up with my cat.

But, then I refused to feel sorry for myself. I have to trust that I am supposed to be on my couch right now binge watching Netflix alone. I have to trust that this is a part of the plan. I have to know my worth.

I know how much I have to offer to you. I know when the time comes I will be a great girlfriend then wife and mother. I have to constantly remind myself that my current situation is not because of me -- it is because of the plan. All of this time I’m becoming a better person and getting more and more ready for you. I have to trust that you will walk into my life when you are supposed to.

I hope that I have good instincts and judgment. I hope that I always am aware of what I deserve and don’t deserve so that I will not waste my time with anyone less than perfect. Unfortunately, that is bound to happen no matter how careful I am. Let’s just call it practice runs. The other guys who I have dated and who have gotten my affection and emotions were me practicing so I could make it to you.

So, following up with that, I hope that you will be able to love me and help patch me up from the way the guys before you have hurt me. I trust that you will.

Until then, I will be here. I will be working on becoming the best version of me that I can be. I will be waiting. Waiting to love you and waiting for you to love me. It is going to be great and I will be able to look back on the nights I stay in feeling sorry for myself, and smile.

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.
