5 Things That I'm Forever Grateful For

Thanksgiving is upon us, and I can truly say that I love this time of year. I feel like we always want to rush into the holiday season and not spend a lot of time on Thanksgiving, but there are things that we often don't give thanks to that truly deserve it; it's usually the little things in life that we neglect, but these often matter the most. I feel bad for not formally appreciating these things for all of these years, given the support they have provided me. These things do more for me than I could ever ask them to do, and I hope that after this they know how much they mean to me. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for them. Here's a list of things that I am grateful for:

1. Cinnamon rolls

How does one express their thankfulness for something that is too good for this world? Their selflessness has gotten me through rough times. When I needed someone, they were always there. Thank you, cinnamon rolls, for bettering the world. There's never a day that goes by where I'm not grateful.

2. Menchie's Frozen Yogurt

This could be the solution that we need to achieve world peace. It's like a therapy I never knew I needed, and I feel at peace every time I walk out of my local Menchie's. This frozen yogurt helps me make rational decisions and I don't know what I'd do without it. I'm so thankful.

3. Fruit

Mother Nature did me a solid when she made fruit. I've grown up alongside it, and I can say that our relationship hasn't changed. Fruit never turned its back on me and although it can get sour with the seasons, it always comes back as beautiful as ever (but it won't if we don't get serious about our bees, whoops). Anyways, I love you, fruit, and I thank you for always being there for me.

4. Chocolate chip cookie brownies

Whoever invented these deserves a Nobel Prize. Taking two very pure and beautiful things and combining them was an act that only a genius could do. I want to thank not only chocolate chip cookies, but brownies. You guys have really changed my life.

5. Peanut butter

You've got to be the purest substance on the planet. I put you on things that I probably shouldn't, but it's just because you always make me so happy. There's not a day that goes by where I don't take you out of the cupboard and admire the beauty that is you. Your existence makes me grateful.

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.
