To The Guy I End Up Marrying

“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.” - Mignon McLaughlin

To the Guy I End Up Marrying:

Whomever you may be, I need you to understand some things about me. There will be the little things like my smile, my laugh, my lame jokes, and my sarcasm that I hope you learn to fall in love with. There will be other things too, not such simple things that will make it hard to love me, but I hope you love me anyways.

When we start start dating, I hope you know how nervous I’ll be for our first couple of dates because if I’m really feeling you, I’ll want them to go perfectly and I know that probably won’t happen. When I start to like you more than I hoped I would, I hope you know I’ll start worrying about you and bothering you and you may get annoyed. When I start to see that you’re catching feelings too, I hope you know that I’ll take that seriously and I don’t expect you to play with my heart because I won’t play with yours. When you start opening up to me about yourself and your family, I hope you understand how scared I’ll be to open up to you because I’ve had a lot of people just leave my life without any warning. When you start to fall in love with me, I hope you tell me and I hope you know not to keep me guessing. If you love me, make it known and use your words too because I can’t read your mind. And I hope you mean it because when I say I love you back, I’ll mean it and it’ll break my heart to find out it was all a lie.

More than anything, I hope we love and we love forever. When you get down on one knee to ask me to marry you, I hope you realize you’re going to get all of me. You’ll get my crankiness in the morning if you’re up before me and I’ll bother you with kisses if I’m up before you. You’ll get my laziness after a long day and you’ll get my mood swings after a bad day. You’ll get to see the shows I’m obsessed with and I’ll probably ignore you whenever they’re on, but I’ll also bother you when one of your shows are on. You’ll get to see sides of me no one else gets to see. You’ll see the good, the bad, the pretty, the ugly, and I hope I get to see all of your sides too.

I’ll make you laugh, I’ll make you happy, and I’ll make you angry, but one thing has to be for sure. There’s one thing that I promise to do and that I hope you promise to do as well and that is we have to love each other. We have to be infatuated like when we were first dating, we have to be bold like when we got comfortable with each other, and we have to be great like how we ended up marrying each other. Our love, in every way that we love, will be strong enough to get through it all.

Sincerely,

The Girl You End Up Marrying

AI music threatens creativity

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.
