Dear Mom,

Dear Mom,

“Everything I am, you helped me to be.”

I don’t tell you enough how thankful I am for you. I wouldn’t be the person I am without you, so thank you. I know I don’t always thank you for the things you do and I need to more.

Thank you for texting me back and answering my calls no matter what time of day. No matter if I need to cry, rant, or just tell you about my day I know you’ll always listen and give me advice. You always make me feel better when I’m down.

Thank you for telling me your opinion even though sometimes I don’t think it’s right.I value it and I always think about it when a situation arises.I’m so glad I have someone I can always ask for advice whenever or wherever.I don’t know what I would do without you.

Thank you for always making sure I’m taken care of. You always make sure if I need gas I have it, especially since that one time I decided to drive on “E.” You always make sure I am fed, and when I’m sick, you make sure I get better. You spent years cleaning my uniforms. I know that was hard because they were covered in grass stains and dirt from the field.

Thank you for raising me to be strong. Mom, you showed how to have adversity in tough situations. You showed to never give up or quit. You showed me how to work through my problems and solve any new ones that I may encounter. You are the strongest women I know and you have taught me so much.

Thank you for always listening. You always give me a shoulder to cry on. You always listen to my problems and make me feel better. Thank you for listening to me rant about something that happened during my day. I know sometimes my stories I tell you can be too long, but you never complain. You always listen to the whole thing.

Thank you for always finding the things I have lost. I don’t know if it is a mom thing or not, but even after I have searched the whole house for something I lost, you find it. For example, I can never find my work shirt, and after searching and searching I tell you it is gone forever. Then you proceed to find It within seconds.

I know we may fight and argue. I know we may not agree on clothing choices, or other things sometimes but I know you will always love me unconditionally and I will always love you too. I know sometimes you think you aren’t doing your best but I want to tell you that you are. You always do your best and I cannot thank you enough for everything you do and have done.I can’t put it into words how important you are in my life. Thank you so much for every single thing you do. 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.
