An Open Letter To Her

Last week I wrote about how I was getting a divorce. Out of this divorce, I noticed my feelings for the most wonderful girl that has ever taken the time to get to know me. She takes the time to talk to me and has slowly stolen my heart over the last semester. She knows who she is and I know who she is. I don't want to embarrass her by calling her out but she is my world now.

You all might be thinking this is a rebound. I am happy to tell you that you are mistaken. My now almost ex-wife and I have been falling out of love since we got married. This amazing, beautiful, reminder of God's majestic power is the reason I am so happy and willing to talk to people and the reason I am getting stronger in my faith.

She thinks she is ugly, fat, stupid and broken. The truth is, she cannot see her own beauty as a result of a hard past. She may be broken but God is using me to show his power to heal the broken. I am here to say that she is the most amazing beautiful girl I have ever seen and I am lucky that someday I will be able to call her mine.

She thinks she is not enough. I stand here today saying that she was enough to help me through this past semester, and is enough to continually support me and make me feel safe. Thank you so much. I love you.

This is short and sweet. That is because I do not see the point in using flowery excessive detail when I can state how i feel in basic language and make it more meaningful. Everything I said in this article I mean with every fiber of my being.

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.
