You will be worth the wait.

An Open Letter To My Future Spouse
The Odyssey Online

Dear Future Spouse,

I know that you will come into my life one day and embrace everything about me — the good, the bad, and the ugly. But most importantly, I am not in any rush to find you. Everything happens for a reason and when we meet I want it to be fate that brings us together, not dating apps. With that being said, when we magically meet in public and I gaze into your eyes and know for sure that you are the one, here are a few things I would like you to know.

First of all, I will not change who I am to be with you. I will be the person I am when I first meet you. I have been in the situation where I was a totally different person, and I saw it eating away at me.

Secondly, I will support you no matter what - through the good, the bad, and the ugly. I will not leave because I won't give up hope on us and whatever we are building as a unit.

In addition, you need to get along with my family, because I want to feel comfortable bringing you around them. I once had a relationship where I felt like if I brought them around I was totally embarrassed or had tons of anxiety. I will not avoid my family just to be with you.

Also, the past is the past and it does not matter. I don't want to hear about it because I don't want to know. But, I know you are going to have respect for that and just focus on the future instead of the past you had before you met me.

Lastly, I cannot wait to meet you. But for now, I am going to keep building my future for the family we will build, the bond we will build, and for the memories, we will make, because I know you will be worth it.

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.
