An Open Letter To My Future Husband
Fabio Formaggio

Dear future husband,

I would like to start by saying that I am not an easy woman to love. I don’t handle stress well, I’m extremely hard on myself, I’m sensitive, and I have a tendency to hold things back. I am learning to love myself a little more every day, but the love I have for you is enough to fill your heart until it overflows. I have a lot of love to give.

I know you have been hurt in the past, but those are not my plans. My plans are to love you more than you have ever been loved. My love knows so boundaries, there will be no limits as to what I will do for you, I will only grow to love you more each passing second as long as you always give me room to grow. My love knows no fear. There will never be a doubt in either of our minds on whether or not we are real, or whether or not I am yours alone. I promise to be truthful and faithful, as long as you return the same to me. I want to wake up wrapped in your warm embrace every morning, and fall into your sweet kisses every night. You are more than a "significant other" to me, you're my best friend. We absolutely must be silly together forever. Without humor, what do we really have? I love telling jokes, laughing until it hurts, or laughing until we cry. You always know how to put a smile back on my face even when I feel like my world is crashing down. Thank you. Thank you for making me smile, thank you for taking care of me, and thank you for teaching me how to stand on my own two feet.

Dear future husband, I'm kind of hard to sleep with. I'm a bed hog, sometimes I snore really loud, I like to death grip/cuddle whatever is closest to me and I still sleep with the stuffed bunny I got on my very first Easter. But our sheets will always be clean and the bedroom always cozy. I love when you pull me closer if I move too far away in my sleep, and I love that you accept my death cuddle anyway. I'm also kind of a mess in the morning. My hair knots up on top of my head, and sometimes I'm really really cranky, but if you can still look at me when I'm like that with the same loving eyes that you look at me with when I'm in my finest dress and heels, then I will never be afraid around you.

I am not a material girl, I don't want fancy things. So, please never worry about buying me any clothes or makeup. If you would honestly like to buy me anything, I like books, pens, and notebooks. But honestly, I'd rather a flower or a cool rock you found. If you can take my hands and dance with me even when there is no music, I will eternally be yours. I have two left feet, but I love dancing and spinning all around the room because dancing with you is where I feel most beautiful. I don't need the "hottest MAC lipstick." I need to sit up late with you watching The Neverending Story, both smiling and crying, reliving my childhood with you next to me.

All in all, future husband, I just ask for someone to love and love in return. I want to share this crazy life with you, and I want to experience the real magic with you by my side. Between the two of us, the adventure will never die. If you keep me smiling, I'll keep you wild.

10 Things Only Equestrians Understand

Yes, it IS a sport. Yes, I fall all the time. No, I do not ride in jeans with a cowgirl hat on.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.
