12 Reasons Why I Couldn't Live Without My Mom
Sierra Abbott

There is one thing in this world that I know I couldn’t survive without: my mom. She has been my go-to person since before I even came out of the womb. I honestly don’t know what I would do without her. She is the one constant in my life, and I will forever be thankful for her. I may act like I know it all, but I couldn’t do anything without my mom. I may be an “adult,” but I will never not need my mom.

1. She answers my stupid questions.

What medicine should I take? Are you sure I’m not dying? Is it okay to wash this shirt with these pants? Is this normal? No matter how strange or random the question is, she will always answer my questions.

2. She supports my dreams.

No matter how crazy or impossible my dreams are, she will always support my dreams. Nobody else in the world believes in me more than she does. As long as I have her constant support, I believe that I can achieve anything I set my mind to.

3. She gives me advice.

The time of day won't matter; If I need my mom she will be there, ready to help. She is the only one that has been there through every heartbreak and every victory and I know she will always have the perfect advice for me.

4. She is my No. 1 cheerleader.

My mom will always be my No. 1 cheerleader. She sat through every choir concert, every award ceremony, every musical and every game, cheering me on.

5. She lets me “borrow” her clothes.

I am lucky to have a mom who wears the same size as me and is super stylish. I might “borrow” clothes and forget to give them back, but she still lets me “borrow” whatever I want inside her closet even if it never returns.

6. She works hard for me.

My mom is such a hard worker. She works every day and I don’t tell her enough how much I appreciate her and all she does for me.

7. She sends me care packages.

Being away from home is extremely difficult. Luckily, my mom knows how to make me feel special even if we're two hours apart from each other. Every time I see a care package from her I smile and can feel her love.

8. She lets me call her 20 times a day.

Even though she has her own life, she answers my very frequent phone calls at any time of the day. She is always there to talk to me when I feel alone or just when I want someone to talk to.

9. She shaped me into the person I am today.

I wouldn’t be who I am today without my mom. She raised me to be a woman of character and I am so thankful that she instilled important values in me from a young age.

10. She spoils me.

I am definitely spoiled by my mom. I don’t deserve it, but she always does anyway.

11. She is my role model.

My mom is someone that I look up to. She is an amazing woman, and I am so lucky to have a great role model like her.

12. She loves me unconditionally

My mom loves me when I succeed, fail, mess up, win, lose and everything in between. There is nothing I could do that would make her love me less. I am so thankful for her constant love and support. I would be lost without her.

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.
