Family is there for you through the thick and thin. If you are anything like me I wouldn't be where I am without them. I am so thankful for all of them and can gladly call them my family and best friends.

No one gets you quite like your family

Jessica Carnivale

Only the people you have grown up with and have lived with really understand you. Once you have lived with someone they know all about you. All of your quirks and things you don't even realize you do they see them and love you for it.

They know exactly what you need

Sometimes you might not even know what you need but there's a good chance your family knows.

They're not afraid to hurt your feelings

Typically your family doesn't use a filter around you. While it might be a little blunt it's what you need to hear. Your friends might be afraid to hurt your feelings, but your family can be real with you and know you'll still love them.

They've been there since the beginning

From vacation to everyday life they are always there.

Jessica Carnivale

This one is quite obvious but really they have been there for you since the beginning. Your family has watched you mature and grow into where you are today and they will continue to be there for you.

They are always looking out for your best interest

They know what is best for you and are going to do whatever they need to do to help you reach your full potential.

They know what is good for you

Sometimes we don't know what is good or bad for us but our families can see before we can. Odds are your mom can pick out your fake friends before you can. If your family doesn't like a significant other or friend there's probably a good reason why.

Odds are they're a lot like you

They help you reach your goals and motivate you.

Jessica Carnivale

Because families spend so much time together your interest are probably similar. It might be your favorite sport or favorite spot to shop or just about anything in between, there's a good chance your family members agree.

They know if there is something wrong

It's hard to hide your emotions from your family. You spend so much time together that they can tell when something is off or if there is something you don't want to share.

They don't judge you

Rather than passing judgment, your family tries to help you with your issues. Judging a family member is like judging yourself, it just doesn't make sense.

They love you unconditionally

The share similar interest and help you get to where you want to be.

Jessica Carnivale

Your family is a part of you and they love you no matter what. No strings attached they are always there for you and you will always be there for them.

Your family members are always looking for you. Believe it or not they usually know what is best for you before you do. So remember to thank them for what they do for you and look out for them too!

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.
