An Open Letter To My Hard-Working Father

Not only do you have one job, but you fill the role of both a husband and a father as well.

Dad,

First of all, you're one of the most hard-working people I know. Not only do you have one job, but you fill the role of both a husband and a father as well. Those are full-time jobs to begin with, let alone your money-making job. You consume your days with working so we can have the life that we do. Thank you for your sacrifice.

Dad, you're a giver and you struggle saying no when it comes to helping others out. Sometimes, that overwhelms your plate, but you make the world better by doing that. You spread kindness and love through your efforts.

You give it your all at your job. I know that for a fact. And sometimes, you come home drained and completely exhausted. That also means you miss out on some of our events and you're not around a whole lot, but you try your absolute best. I appreciate your dedication to us, despite what you lose. You make the biggest sacrifice of all, time, by working to provide for our family.

Dad, you set an example for us and a standard for work ethic. I watch you and hope that the man I marry will work as hard as you do to give our children the life you gave us.

Thank you for everything. You're a great man, father, and worker. You do it all. 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.
