7 Things I Don't Tell My Mom Enough

1. Thank you for your support

I know that wherever I go in life, I will always have you behind me. You have always supported me in any sport, club or decision I make, which means a lot to me. I know that if everyone else doubted me, you would be the one saying "you can do it." It means a lot to me to know that I have you behind me in every path I chose to take.

2. I thank you for being a hardworking mom

I know I fail to say thank you for everything that you get me, but here it is. I thank you for all your hard work to ensure that I always get what I need and that I'm always allowed to participate in what I desire. Money has never been an issue, and you're to thank for that.

3. I thank you for devoting your time to me

Whether it's 2:00 a.m. and I'm waking you up crying because I'm sick, or it's casual coffee shop talks in the mornings, every second, minute or hour counts. I thank you for sharing your time with me when I know you have plenty of other things you could be doing. I always know that if I ever need anything, you'd stop what you're doing to tend to my needs.

4. I thank you for never giving up on me

I know that no matter what mistake I make that you will never give up on me. You're the one person that will help me back up and tell me to try again. You never fail to keep me going in everything that I do. I know we have our good days and bad days, but I always know that at the end of the day, you will always be there for me, helping me succeed.

5. I thank you for being the "strict mom"

Yes , you read that right. I was never the girl allowed to stay out till three in the morning. I wasn't always allowed to every party. I wasn't always allowed to stay the night at random people's houses. And that's okay. I'm here to thank you for saying no. Thank you, truly, because I know you kept me safe. I know you cared enough to ensure where I was at every night. So thanks for being the "strict mom".

6. Thank you for leading me in the right way

Thank you for showing me good from bad, for teaching me what should and shouldn't be done. Thank you for bringing me to church and raising me in a Christ-like home, for I believe it has made a huge impact on my life today.

7. Lastly I want to say thank you for just being you

You're an amazing women inside and out, and I know you always keep at heart what's best for me. Even though I haven't always liked you telling me no throughout the years, I know it was for a good reason. I thank you for telling me no and keeping me to a higher standard, because it made me who I am today.

Thank you for everything Mom! I love you.

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.
