A Loving Letter To My Future In-Laws
Quiet Rev

To My Future In-Laws,

Thank you.

I wanted to start off by saying thank you. Thank you for raising your son to be the man he is today, thank you for raising him in the manners and love of others. I may or may not know you yet, but know that you have done these things because I would not be marrying him otherwise.

Thank you for bringing him up with the qualities a man should possess, like hard working, compassion and respect for others. I sincerely believe that God works miracles and your son is one of mine.

Thank you for accepting me and deeming me worthy of your sons hand. I will love your son forever and deeply. You are his family and will soon be mine too. I hope that we can be this way. I want you to be my family, not just "my husbands parents" and I hope I am not just "The girl who married our son."

I will understand that you need his as much, if not more than I do sometimes. I will always make sure there is equal time with you as well as with my family. Holidays are especially important time to me to be with family as and we will be with you as much as possible, but please keep in mind that I have a family too.

I would never try and steal your son away from you, if anything I want your relationship to grows as ours does. I truly hope to develop a relationship with you and I hope you feel the same. I hope you understand that sometimes there are going to be things I want to figure out on my own, and sometimes, I may need your advice.

I want you to know that any issues I may have connecting with you or opening up to you have nothing to do with you but everything to do with my relationship (or lack thereof) with my own parents.

I sincerely hope that you know that my love for your son is 100% true and I would never do anything to jeopardize the relationship we have.

I know your son is your pride and joy, I know that you would do anything to see him happy. I know that you love him more than anything in the world, I hope you know that I do as well. I sincerely hope that you see your son and I together and it makes you nothing but happy.

Most of all, I want to become your daughter and I want you to become my parents. I do not want to be just your daughter-in-law and I don't want you to be just my mother or father-in-law. I want to be family.

Thank you for being who you are and giving me the man of my dreams.

Sincerely,

Your Future Daughter-In-Law.

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.
