Dear Mom, You Deserve Some Extra Love This Mother's Day
Samantha Santoro

Dear Mom,

Happy Mother's Day!

When I was a little kid, you were all I knew. I was always a mama's girl. I remember you singing to me "you are my sunshine" or "brown eyed girl." Fast forward 15 years, and you were the one helping me pick out my dress for my prom. In another couple years you'll be the one by my side to help me pick out my wedding dress. All the memories in between mean so much to me and are something I will cherish forever. I feel grateful knowing I have many years ahead full of many more wonderful moments with you.

Our relationship hasn't always been the best. We've for sure had our ups and downs, and at times, we brought out the worst in each other. But we always find a way to get through the bad times together. You've showed me how to not let the mistakes you make define you and how to not let the pain other people cause you to question yourself. When you have feelings of insecurity and doubt, it's important to believe in yourself and remember its never too late to start over.

In the past year, I've seen you make more accomplishments and grow more than most people do in an entire lifetime. You're stronger than you've ever been. You have no idea how intelligent and brave you are. I've never met someone as thoughtful and generous as you. You always think of how others would feel and go out of your way to show your appreciation. You're incredibly talented and creative and with every new project you take on, you always put in your very best.

The older I get, the more I realize how lost I'd be without you. I don't know how I would get through the day without knowing I have someone to call whenever I need to vent, get advice, or tell my good news to. I love knowing I have someone to laugh with or cry to whenever I need. You are an amazing mom and I love you more than you know. Happy mothers day!

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.
