An Open Letter To The Man Who Will Become My Other Half

It is easy to believe I will never find you, or you will never find me, but fate has an odd way of working out these kinds of things.

An Open Letter To The Man Who Will Become My Other Half
Kyrie Bassett

To my future person,

I want to thank you in advance. I have not exactly had the best track history when it has come to relationships and choosing the right kind of men I should allow receiving my attention. So, thank you for being worthy, and recognizing that I am worthy of you.

I am nowhere near perfect, but I take comfort in knowing you are out there to learn to love all of my little quirks and stand by me through my mistakes to help me grow.

I want to apologize for my hesitance in trusting you. I have not had the best experiences with relationships, and have been extremely hurt by men who I cared for fervently. I know you will be patient and understanding with all of my insecurities, and I am grateful for your help in my personal growth and allowing me to trust and love again. I am eager to know you, to know the person who helps balance me: the person that encourages me to become the best woman I can be in this life. And I can only hope I will be able to do the same for you.

I hope you remind me of my grandfather. He wasn't the most sentimental man with writing love letters, but he was intentional with showing his love for my grandmother through his actions each and every day. He helped my grandmother navigate through situations with such love and grace by being the first person she would consult and seek council with. He was a patient, respectful, wise, selfless, humble man. He promised to love her every day of his life and make her the happiest woman if she chose him, and by God, he kept his promise. I miss him every day, and I know he would have been proud that I found you.

I look forward to our future together, and all of the things we will teach one another and learn together in life. I look forward to all of the adventures we take on, big or small. I look forward to all of the memories we create and the inside jokes that come about from them. I look forward to the fear we will face meeting one another's families, which will dissipate when they realize they love each of us and our relationship. I look forward to growing in friendship and in love with you. I know you're out there, and I hope that we recognize each other and our compatibility at the right time.

Yours truly,

The Girl Eager to Meet You

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.
