Thank You, Mom
Megan Trakalo

Hey Mom, I just wanted to thank you for everything that you do. I want to give you a reminder about why you're the best mom around and the greatest one to ever exist.

Thank you for being selfless.

You always make sure to put us first. You make sure that we're using our manners, following the rules, and living our lives to the fullest. You always make sure we are happy.

Thank you for all of your support.

You make sure to support us in everything we do. Even if you don't believe in what we're doing, you make sure to be there for us completely.

Thank you for always being there to help.

If we need money, food, advice, or anything... You are always there to help. Even if you are struggling, you make sure to help us.

Thank you for always listening.

Whenever I needed to vent about roommates, life, school, professors, stress, you name it, you've always been there to listen and give advice.

Thank you for teaching me how to be independent.

I went far from home but I knew how to be "independent". Yes, I may text and call you all the time, but most of the time, I can handle everything on my own.

Thank you for believing in me.

College definitely hasn't been easy for me. With you being there every step of the way, I am graduating on time and I am doing okay. There were times that I didn't believe in myself, but I had you there by my side to believe in me for me.

Thank you for teaching me that family is important.

With everything going on, you have always put family first. You make sure we all know that we are loved and you always find time to talk to everyone about their days and what we are doing. I know to always put McKenzie first because he is the beginning of my own little family. You helped me realize this.

Thank you for putting up with me.

I know I am a handful, and I especially was when I was younger. I could never behave at a restaurant (and especially not at a water park). I have always been needy, but it's been okay.

Thank you for being strong.

Things have been rough for you lately, but you never fail to remain as strong as you possibly can. You always put on a strong face even when you are broken, to make sure that we stay strong, too.

And of course, thank you for loving me, Mommy!

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.
