This one is for you, Grandma.

They are the cutest person in your family.

You are LYING to yourself if you say that your grandma is not cute, like literally lying. They always have the greatest taste in clothes and shoes and purses and jewelry. Nothing ever looks bad on them. Even when they are just talking you want to hug them because they are so damn cute.

They give the best hugs.

If you are ever in the worst mood possible, give your grandma a hug. If you don't have a grandma, come give my grandma a hug. I swear she has hugs that could make even the meanest person melt to the floor.

They always know what to say.

I have NEVER gotten bad advice from my grandma. From what shoes to buy, who to talk to and what to do with my life, she is the person I go to the most. Even if I don't want to hear it, she says it. They see things we don't see and they always have our best interests at heart.

They are always willing to take you shopping.

Grandmas LOVE spending time with their grandkids, but you know what they love to do more? Spend money on them! She also needs your help picking out what is cute because sometimes, she comes home with things you don't love, so she doesn't want to make that mistake again. It will never make sense to me why my grandma spends so much money on all of us but I know she does it out of the kindness of our heart. (She doesn't have to buy our love, she already has it all.)

They would do anything for you. I mean ANYTHING.

My grandma is the most selfless person I know. She has the biggest heart and I know that is because she loves everyone no matter what, family or not. My grandma has let me live with her for the longest time, she has provided for me and most of all, she has done more for me than anyone could imagine. Grandmas truly love their grandkids more than anything.

They never ask for anything in return. Ever.

You can plan to buy them the best Christmas present ever but I promise they don't want it. They just want to spend time with you, even if it is only 20 minutes out of your day. They will never ask you to pay for food, or to help them do anything but you just kind of do it. You know she would do anything for you and you feel the same way about her.

Lastly, they can be whatever you need them to be.

Whether it's your best friend or your mom or your teacher or your preacher or the saleswoman at the store convincing you to buy something, grandmas can be that. Mine has taken so many important roles in my life and I know she has done the same for so many other people. Grandmas will treat you as their own child if they think it is what you need.

Grandmas are unmistakably God's gift to Earth. I would be nothing if it wasn't for my grandma.

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.
