Dear Dad

Dear Dad


Dad,

I love you.

Each day I learn something new about you, besides what I already know, that includes how phenomenal you are.

We may not always see eye to eye. We both argue, disagree on things, and get irritated with eachother, but I wouldn’t want it any other way.

To the world you are my dad, but to me you are my world.

There is nothing better than getting the constant love, support and motivation from you.

All the memories we made and continue to make are the best and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

You deserve the world, even with you being so loving, you would share the world with everyone.

You inspire me, and I thank God everyday for having a blessing like you to be my father. I pray I can have a man like you some day, so loving, kind-hearted, thoughtful, adventurous, daring, humble, humorous, and outstanding like you.

But Dad, you are on of a kind, and there will be no one in this world that can change that.

Everything you do for me and everyone else, makes me feel motivated to be just like you.

I will never know how you do it, be an excellent father, grandfather, husband, uncle, brother, nephew, son, or friend. No matter who comes and go’s. I’ll be right there with you, through thick and thin, thinner and thicker.

There will never be enough words in this world, for me to express on how much I love you and will always continue to love you.

with all the love in the world

love,

your daughter, Haley.

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.
