I know I am not always the best at expressing how I feel, and I can be difficult, but I want to let you know that I love you to the moon and back always.

I want to thank you for never leaving my side, no matter what. These past couple years have been tough, and throughout the whole thing you never left my side. Not even once. I cannot begin to describe how thankful I am for that. I also want to thank you for never giving up on me. Out of all the times I made a bad decision or did something wrong, you never gave up on me. You've always had faith in me, and I will never be able to thank you enough.

You are the best mom I could ever ask for. You are more than just a mom to me, you are also my best friend, my partner in crime and ride or die. The list honestly goes on and on. You always know exactly what to say to me, and you motivate me to do the right thing everyday. I know this will probably sound corny, but you are my hero. My whole life you have shown me what perseverance is. Even in your own battles, I never saw you give up once. You always fight through everything. That inspires me everyday to be the best I can be and to never give up, no matter how bad the situation is.

I also want to thank you for also being my dad. I know it can't be easy being a single mother, and I definitely don't make it any easier most of the time. I appreciate everything that you do for me, even if I do not show it. Ever since I was young you have been both a mother and a father to me, and again not once did you give up. When times got tough and you got stressed out, you never gave up. Not once. I look up to you so much for that. I look up to you because sometimes it probably would've been easier to just say forget it, but you NEVER did.

Especially these past couple of years, I always had you to rely on. Anytime I needed you, you were there. I could call you and ask you to come see me and you would be there the next day. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for that. Other people in my life, who I thought would always be there, left me during those dark times. But never you. You never left my side, even during the worst of it all.

I want to say I am sorry. I am sorry for all of the times I said something I shouldn't have. I am sorry for all of the times I did something I shouldn't have. I am especially sorry for any time that I have made you cry, or scared, or mad. I am just sorry for everything.

As I have grown up and matured, I realized that I need you more than I need anyone else. I could never ask for a better mom, because I have the best one.

I love you to the moon and back.

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.
