Because I really don't say it enough.

Thank you. I know I definitely don’t say that enough, and I’m sorry for that. I’m sorry that I don’t give you enough hugs and that I take things out on you when I’m upset. Thank you for forgiving me and loving me anyways. You are my best friend, but I need to remember that you’re still my parent. I love being with you, and you always know just what to say or do when I need your help. I am so happy that we are so close. I know that I can come to you and say whatever is on my mind, and you would never judge me. I am most thankful that we have the type of relationship where I tell you every single aspect of my life. I know you raised me right because of that. I know I never have to hide things or lie to you.

I want you to know that no matter how many times I get mad and storm off on you, the only thing I can think about five minutes later is how I wish I could just run back and say I'm sorry. I get mad too easily sometimes, and you don’t deserve to get an attitude back from me. I'm too stubborn. I never want to leave and feel like we’re not OK. I owe everything to you.

Thank you for sharing your closet with me and letting me wear your jewelry when I have a special event to go to. I love wearing your jewelry because it reminds me of you and makes me feel super cool. I love when you pass down things to me because I become part of your legacy, and it means so much to me. Also, thank you for teaching me how to wear makeup. I am now currently a pro, and I only have you to thank for that.

I’m really glad you wanted to sleep in a little longer when I was little because you taught me how to make scrambled eggs on my own so I didn’t have to wake you up to make them anymore. I probably wouldn’t know how to make scrambled eggs still if it wasn’t for this. And honestly, I make the best scrambled eggs out of anyone. Obviously, no one else had you teach them how to do it, but they all need a lesson.

Thank you for making me laugh like crazy. If anyone asks, I will deny that I said this, but you are actually really funny. I still will fight the urge to laugh when you say something funny, though because your jokes are so ridiculous that I actually don’t want to laugh, but I can’t help it. This being said I am 100 percent way funnier than you still; I hope this is clear.

Lastly, thank you for being such a loving and kind woman. You have the softest heart and too often it gets mistreated. I am sorry for being sassy and hurting your feelings. I only hope to be the caring, beautiful and lovely woman that you are one day. You are perfect in every way, and I'm so happy that you're my mom.

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.
