I pray she has faith that blows my mind.

My Beautiful Bride,

I don't want to start a life with you by running around my problems and never telling you about them. Letting you think that I've got it all together and that I've never stumbled on my way to you is too big of a lie for me to tell.

I'm broken. I have scars that I don't want you to see because it shows a past of wandering...but I know you need to see them. Going through life never feeling like I mattered to anyone destroyed any confidence I had and led me to make choices that broke so many hearts. I have felt like a failure for giving into temptations I encountered, because each of them took a piece of me, ultimately leaving me broken here before you.

I can love too much. It seems like an impossible task, but after seeing myself do it over and over again, I can tell you it's not. I know that a relationship should never be about one-upping each other. However, I found myself not trying to one-up the girl in the relationship but myself. One of my biggest fears is being left by someone that I love and care about. So what I would do to prevent that at any cost was by being more serious than the girl in the relationship, wanting to fix every problem they had, and always scared of being unloved. I never wanted to give 100% and the other person give 75%, and say I was smothering. I will always love you 100%. Nothing less is acceptable.

I'm scared. Marriage is the most sacred bond between man, woman, and God. Something so serious can't be taken lightly. I'm terrified of how many wrong choices and expectations I will make before I get lost in your eyes. I don't want those choices to make me numb to the love you will offer.

I can't wait to meet you. From the creation of the Earth, you were made for me, and I was made for you. You're my missing rib. But before we can start the rest of our lives together, we both need to accept the role of being a #2. You will of course be the love of my life, but our relationship with the Father has to take the #1 spot in both our lives. If that doesn't happen, we never will.

I love you. I'm head over heels for you, and I don't even know your name. I'll be waiting when that day comes.

Love your husband, Quinten

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.
