In her words, "I told you so."

22 Things My Mom Was Right About
Tumblr


With Mother's Day just passing, I've spent a lot of time thinking about my mom. It's been too long since I was able to go home and just hang out with her and I can't tell her I miss her enough. However, the more time I spend in this big world on my own, the more I realize how right she is about so many things.

1. "You need to get a good nights sleep."

Rest up, sleepyhead.

2. "If a girl is mean to you, she's probably jealous."

via GIPHY


Ain't that the truth.


3. "You should call more"



Just pick up the phone. You know you want to.

4. "Eat your vegetables"




Especially the green one.

5. "Make your bed."



It will make you feel better.

6. "You don't need all that makeup."



You're too pretty for all that.

7. "Your skirt is a little short."




But your legs do look nice.

8. "Don't mumble."



What you're saying is important.

9. "A boy is not worth tears."

No boy is worth the stress.


10. "You don't need to be like anyone else."



You were made an original.


11. "Your family is the best support system you'll ever have."



We're always here for you.

12. "Don't spend all your money in one place. "



Even better, try saving it.

13. "I will always find out a lie."



So don't even try it.

14. "Don't rush into anything."



Take your time. Good things are worth the wait.

15. "If you need help, ask"



Because there's someone out there who can help you.

16. "There is no possible way you should be bored".



If you are, you're doing it wrong.

17. "You'll understand when you have a child of your own"



Until then, you won't understand.

18. "Don't grow up too fast"



Take some time to enjoy the now.

19. "I brought you into this world and I can take you out of it"





Don't test me.


20. "Nothing is too bad that you can't talk to someone about it"

Someone is always there to listen.

21. "I'm proud of you"


Like, really proud.

22. "I will always be here for you"



And I'll be your best friend.

In short, thank you mom.

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.
