To The Man I Want To Marry

We're young but in love, and I can't wait to be old and still in love.

To The Man I Want To Marry
Jordan and I

Sometimes, when you're with someone for so long, you get tired of them. Maybe because we're young, it's not expected that we'd want to commit. Even though I'll never be over you. From junior year of high school to junior year of college, you've done everything you can to make me happy, and make sure I had everything I ever wanted, even if I wasn't the best girlfriend. This is for you, for everything you do, and why I want to be your wife.

I've never committed to something as long as I've been with you. As a teenager, I would go day to day changing everything from my hair, my style, and even who I had a crush on, but you're different. Through choosing different colleges, changing career paths, you've stuck with me, and you continue to be with me even after all this time. I am amazed by you and your ability to be flexible with me, to love me regardless of the many times I've messed up.

You want the best for me. Even if it means going to a college two hours away, you want me to have everything I need to be successful. You've supported me through wanting to be a teacher, and now wanting to go to seminary. You always want to get the best thing for me, and to be the best guy you can, and I don't think I've ever really had that in my life. I wish I could show you how much I want the best for you. I will always stay by your side, I will always want you to reach for your dreams, just like you want me to reach for mine.

Being with you is my favorite thing. Whether you're playing games on my computer, or helping me unpack my room, just being with you is enough for me. I never want that to stop. I can't wait for the day where you don't ever have to go home, and we can play app games on my phone like the kids we are all day and all night. You're effortlessly funny and the looks you give me just make me feel special because I know you really want to make me happy. I love the fact that I can be a kid with you, without a care in the world. You really are my best friend.

I love seeing your passions. Whether it's that game on my computer, or the Rubik's Cube, or coffee set ups, I love seeing you just love something. You try to explain things to me, and honestly, half the time I don't understand, but I just listen to you talk about it. You are so passionate about your hobbies, and I just want to be able to see that for the rest of my life. Maybe it's computer programming that I'll never understand, or maybe it's coffee that I understand far too well. Either way, I want to continue to be the person you can be passionate with.

I can't imagine life without you in my life, and hopefully, I'll never have to. Whether we get married in two years, or five years, or whenever, I want to be in your life. I want to be your best friend forever. I want to stand in front of our friends and family and show them how much you mean to me. For now, being your girlfriend is the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I can't tell you enough how much I love you.

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.

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.
