Dear Whoever You Are,

Hey. What's up? So weird that we will be married one day huh? We may actually already be married, just depends on when you are reading this. So listen here, bud. I have been praying for you for so long. You have no idea. One year at a church camp, we were encouraged to pray for our future spouses and write them a letter. So that's what I did. That is what I have been doing. It is weird to think that while I am writing this, you are out there doing something. I may have met you before; I may not have. Either way though, you exist. You have been through things. You have certain things that make you laugh and things that make you cry. You have fears. You have accomplishments. All of these things I can not WAIT to learn about.

I want to spend time with you and get to know everything about you. I want you to tell me all about your day, whether it be good or bad. I want to know you. I want to adopt a dog with you. I want to have ice cream at 3 a.m. with you. I want to travel the world with you. I want to paint with you. I want to take photos with you. I want to do life with you.

Besides this, I just had a few things I wanted to say to you.

First, as weird as it is to say, congrats. You're married. To me. I'm gonna assume that since we are married, you kinda like me. I'll go ahead and let you know-- once I love somebody, I really love them. You won't have to worry about losing me. I don't give up on people very easily.

Second, I'm sorry. I am sorry you have to put up with me. I am sorry you're going to lose sleep because you'll be up with me at 4 a.m. laughing our heads off at something that isn't even funny. I am sorry you will have to listen to my lame jokes and puns that are so awful it hurts. I am sorry you will be dragged into impromptu dance parties while cleaning the house. I am sorry you are living with three dogs and ten cats. I am sorry you have to deal with me crying over everything.

Last, thank you. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for vowing to stick with me until death do us part. Thank you for being a strong Christian man that sticks to his faith. Thank you for being a great father to our children. Thank you for being my husband. Thank you for never getting tired of me. Thank you for being an example for everyone.

So if you're reading this before we are married-- maybe even before we've met, I can't wait to do life with you. And if you're reading this after we are already married, let's go out and have a fun life.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
