7 Reasons I Am Thankful For My Mom

Mom, you are the strongest, most supportive, and understanding person I know. You have taught me so much about how to treat others, how to succeed in everything I do, and how to stand back up stronger than ever when I fall. Thank you for always listening to me no matter what (even if all I talk about is wanting a cat or puppy).

1. You always listen

Whenever I'm happy, sad, or any emotion in between I know you will always want to listen to me. You let me talk my head off about my friends, school, new experiences, and how much I love cats. You are always there as my shoulder to cry on if I'm sad or stressed about school and I love knowing you'll always be all ears.

2. You let me make my own decisions

When I come to you for advice, you tell me how you feel but you also understand that I'm going to make my own decisions, (like the time I got 2 tattoos in one day). I'm so thankful that I can ask you for your opinion without you forcing it on me but I also appreciate the times you have given me advice that has made me see the bigger picture.

3. You support me

Thank you for never thinking less of me when I don't make the best decisions. I know you will always love me and support me as long as I am happy and that means the world to me. I cherish the fact that I can tell you anything and you will still have my back.

4. You trust me

Thank you for always trusting me, my decisions, and my actions. I could never thank you enough for always knowing that I am telling you the truth about where I am going, what I'm doing, or decisions that I am making. I love knowing you trust me to make the right choices to better my future without questioning.

5. You can always make everything better

If I'm having a bad day I can always call you and immediately become reassured. You always know exactly what to say. Thank you for always making me feel like everything is going to be okay even if I don't believe it myself.

6. You've shown me how to be resilient

I've learned so much from watching you. You always stick it out when the going gets tough. You have shown me what it means to be a strong, independent, and confident woman. You taught me to be resilient in the face of adversity.

7. You always love me no matter what

I know no matter where life takes me you will always love me. Mom, thank you for everything you have done for me and the example you have set. I love you more than you know.

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.
