A Letter To My Dad

My dad is the person who kills spiders for me.

From first glance, there is a special bond between a father and a daughter. A bond that never can be broken. Boyfriends can come and go, but your dad is there through it all. I think that's why most dad's get emotional when their daughters get boyfriends because they feel like they're getting replaced.

There is no one who could ever replace my dad.

My dad is the person that knows how to make me laugh. He's always cracking jokes, which almost always results in a giggle or a full out laugh. If he's not making jokes, then he's probably talking to himself or talking some weird nonsense, which is always entertaining. There's never a dull moment.

My dad is the person I vent to. Whether its work rants or something else, he is always there to listen. My dad is the person I go to for advice. He's experienced more of life than I have, and always has words of wisdom to offer. I appreciate his words.

My dad is the person that kills spiders for me (or catches them and lets them go outside). My dad is the person that knows how to make me smile when I'm feeling sad. Whenever I'm feeling sad he does everything he can to try and make me smile. If all of that doesn't work, then he gives me a hug... and that usually makes me feel better. My dad is my TV watching partner. I mean, who else am I gonna binge watch Law & Order SVU with?

My dad is the person who introduces me to new things. I've seen good movies and heard cool tunes because he's showed them to me. We've cooked some pretty good food too. My dad is the person that I ask all my questions to. The questions can range from something car related to something homework related, but he always knows the answer. My dad is the person who remains positive even through tough times. My dad is the person who is really good at painting. My dad is the person who would do anything to make sure his kids have a world of opportunities.

I know that my dad won't be here forever. Which is why I cherish every moment I get to spend with him.

As time changes, and I become closer to the adult world, there are a couple thing I want you to know... I love you. Thank you. And I'll always be your little girl.

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.
