I Have The Best Mom
Samantha Hurst

I may be a little bias, but my mom is the bomb (dot) com. She is my strength, my backbone, and my everything. She’s not only the mother to her 3 children (I am the favorite BTW) but she is a mom to all of our friends. She has a heart of gold. Not only does she have a beautiful face, she has a beautiful soul. If you don’t know my mom, you’re missing out. So I’ll tell you a little bit about her. So meet my totally rockin’ mom, Dawn Hurst.

I know you’re reading this mom, because what mom doesn’t read her kids article? So hi mommabear!

To say my mom has been to hell and back is an understatement, but you wouldn’t know by looking at her. But this incredibly strong women has done the unthinkable. She raised my sister by herself for quite sometime. Then she met my dad, who is pretty cool too, and they then had the greatest accomplishment ever. Which was having me, the favorite child, remember? I have always looked up to my momma. She says this one thing that I will carry with me forever. “Once you’ve hit rock bottom, there’s only one way to go and that’s up.”

You are my rock. I’ve been struggling for the past couple years. Death does a number on a person. You kept me sane and kept me going even though I just wanted to quit. I will never be able to thank you enough for that. I still struggle from time to time but I know if I ever need anything all I have to do is pick up the phone and you’ll be there for me.

We have this thing in our family were we don’t say goodbye, but see yah later. So when I moved away for college, it was pretty tough on me. I was the first one to go away to school, so I’m pretty sure it was hard on her too. But she let me go to school an hour and half away because she truly believes in me and wants me to be extraordinary. I'm trying my best mom, don't you worry. I try to make time to talk to my mom every day, but sometimes lift just get in the way. So, mom, I’m sorry about that. I’ll call you tomorrow!

She is the best person to rant too. Probably because my mom and I are almost the exact same person and think a lot alike. Ask anyone, especially my dad. She will sit on the phone with me forever just so I can get it out of my system. And she listens, she listens to every single word that leaves my mouth. She knows that I have to make my own mistakes, so she doesn’t interrupt and doesn’t tell me I am wrong. She obviously give a little bit of her opinion because she is a very opinionated person so she can’t just sit there and not give her opinion. That would basically break the laws of physics or whatever.

One of the best feelings ever is to hear her say she’s proud of me. I don’t tell her enough but I appreciate her beyond what she knows. Momma Dawn, I love you so very much. You inspire me to do great things. You made me the person I am today. And you make a better person every single day. You try your best to give me the world and you sure are doing hell of a good job at it. So when I say I have the best mom, I totally mean it. I love you, mommabear.

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.
