The Wife I Want to be One Day

Love is hard. Marriage is harder.

I want to be the wife you always want to come home to after a hard day at work. The one who listens and does not interrupt because your rants matter too.

I want to be the wife that’s your best friend. The one who you can sit down and have a drink with, while telling me what your coworker did that was so funny, and still want to take me to bed at night.

I want to be the wife who makes the best out of a situation when times get tough. The one who buys us a cheap bottle of wine and makes homemade spaghetti because finances are tight that month, but it’s the date night you have been looking forward to all week.

I want to be the wife that understands love is patient. The one who realizes arguments happen, but the love we have for each other is much greater than those little arguments.

I want to be the wife you look at and feel unconditionally loved. The one who brings you up after a rough day, always letting you know how worthy and great you are.

I want to be the wife that never makes you feel useless. The one who always tells you thank you for helping me and how much you mean to me every single day.

I want to be the wife who always watches for her false, out of anger words that slip out during arguments. The one who NEVER lets either one of us go to bed mad and will not go to sleep until the last words out of our mouths are “I love you, goodnight baby”.

I want to be the wife who you turn to for advice. The one who will list the advantages and disadvantages of a new job you got offered, but scared to jump into.

I want to be the wife you have always dreamed of having. The one who you fell in love with from the very first date and to keep that young love burning.

I want to be the wife who never makes you feel like you do all the work. The one who knows marriage is a two way street, and it takes effort and love from both sides to keep it alive.

I want to be the wife you look at and proudly say, “That’s MY wife”. The one who you know will always be on your side, loving you through the ups and downs that life has to offer.

I hope I am that wife one day.

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.

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.
