To My Future Family, I'm Excited For What Is To Come

I know for a fact I'll be a handful, but I'm sure you will all be a handful at some point too.

Dear future husband and future children,

Since I was little, I have known that I wanted to have my own family someday. The plan was school, college, career and then a family down the line. Well, here I am in college, thinking about the rest of my life and you guys came to my mind. That seems crazy because all of this is in the far future, but there are some things I want each of you to know.

My parents always did whatever they could to make sure my siblings and I were happy. They took us on family vacations, enrolled us in the extra-curricular activities we wanted to be a part of, they drove all over the county (and sometimes the state) to participate in the sports we wanted to be a part of and they always tried to give us the things we asked for on birthdays and Christmas.

My parents taught me valuable things and lessons for when I grew up, but they also did their best to give me a good childhood. I promise that I will do this for you, my future kids, as well. I want all of you to feel as loved by me and your father as I did by my parents.

You will each be the apple of my eye, and while we may fight with each other, I will never stop loving you. Even when you make mistakes or hurt my feelings, I will love you, and I will accept you for whoever you grow up to become.

Right now, I have no idea where you are or what you, my future husband, are doing. I don't know what we'll happen with us, and I don't know where life will take us; however, I do know that I will love you for as long as I can. You will be my rock and I will be yours. We'll (hopefully) travel and go on adventures together before our family journey begins. We'll know that we can always depend on each other for whatever we may need.

I know for a fact I'll be a handful to all of you, but I'm sure you will all be a handful sometimes too. We'll have crazy family adventures together, we'll argue, we'll fight, but we'll always have each other

I don't know where our family will end up or what will come our way. I don't know any of the details, really, because I mean this is all years away. I do know, though, that I am excited for what is to come.

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.

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.

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.
