Why Dads Are A Best Friend For Life

Friends come and go but family lasts forever. No one is there for you through all of your ups and downs and knows you even more than you know yourself, except for family. There are so many articles written for mothers and how they're a daughter's best friend, but I think it's time we show some love for all of the amazing dads out there!

Dads are always there for you to call, whether it's just to vent, about a car issue, etc.

Dads always listen to you no matter what. Even if you call them to go off on a rant about (insert name here), he may not know them, but he'll still sit there and agree with everything you are saying about them. In addition, dads will spend hours on the phone with you trying to explain what your car issues and the mystery parts that you have to fix are.

They remind you that it's okay to make mistakes.

Everyone makes mistakes every once in awhile. Though parents may get angry and punish you for doing stupid things, they are still there for you at the end of the day to remind you that everyone makes mistakes at some point in their lives and that your mistakes don't define you as a person.

Dads give you morals and quotes to live by.

Personally, my dad has always told me that "After every action comes a reaction" and "Tigers never change their stripes." He's taught me to always be hard working, caring, and kind to everyone. Dads give you their beliefs in life and let you do what you please with them. If you're smart, you'll live by these beliefs and keep them in your mind each day because as they say, dads know best.

They always support you and back you up no matter what.

Dads may not agree with everything that you do, but no matter what, we know that they will always be there to support us and to pick us up when we're down.

They remind you to never settle.

Whether this be a job,a significant other, etc. Dads remind you that you deserve the absolute best and you shouldn't settle for anything less than that.

They love and accept you through all of your craziness.

Everyone has quirks and flaws, luckily our family is forced to love us no matter what. Dads show us unconditional love and accept us no matter what, even when they have seen us at our worst. Dads are people we know that we can count on for absolutely anything, so for all of the amazing dads out there, thank you for all that you do!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
