Before you continue to read (or if you want something for reference) please refer to season 1 episode 9.

For a quick recap, in this episode, Ted and Robin go volunteer at a soup kitchen on Thanksgiving where they run into Barney who is there for community service hours. Ted and Robin are tasked with helping sort the good donations from the bad donations which are when they discover that the good donations go to the volunteers and not the poor it is meant to feed.

This leads Ted and Robin to cause a scene which gets them, and Barney who vouched for them kicked out of the soup kitchen. They all wind up at a strip club that Barney says that he usually spends Thanksgiving and Ted meets a stripper which is where the Easter Egg comes in.

Ted begins to talk to a stripper who reveals her real name to Ted which is Tracy. Now, the reason that this is relevant is because the episode ends with a flash forward in time to when Ted is talking to his kids and he is wrapping up the story of that Thanksgiving and he says "and that kids, is how I met your mother".

This is relevant because of the kid's reaction. They were so surprised until Ted told them that it really isn't how he met their mother. Why would the kids be so surprised at that statement if their mother's name, which would not be revealed for many more seasons, wasn't Tracy?

HIMYM dropped this huge hint so early on in the series that I, and I am sure so many other people, brushed off. This was such a huge discovery for me and I was a bit shocked. Go back and rewatch that episode, or series really, and pay attention to that. It all happens towards the end but it is worth the watch.

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.
