A Thank You Letter To My Dad
Sergio

Dad,

Thank you. I want to start with that. Thank you for being my everything. Through anything and everything you have been my rock. I never say it as often as I should, but I love you.

Thank you for being more than just a chauffeur and an ATM. Thanks for taking the time to talk to me when things don't seem right. You always seem to know me better than I know myself. Thank you for making my childhood so memorable. Spending our weekends dancing around the dining room table are memories I'll never forget. I love the days we spend together watching old TV shows and laughing until we cry. Taking me and my sister to the park in your free time just to keep us happy are unforgettable.

Thanks for supporting me with everything I do. Thank you for never missing a dance recital or soccer game. Your constant love and support are what keep me going. Thank you for always checking in on me. Even if it's just a funny video or a spontaneous lunch date, it's great to see that you're always thinking of me.

Thank you for making it possible for my dreams to come true. I know it couldn't have been easy. Allowing me to go to my dream school, travel with my friends, and anything my little heart desired, you made it happen. Thank you for never letting me down. You always keep your word to someone and that something I admire most about you.

Thank you for giving me the world. You have never held back on my happiness. The look on your face when you see my accomplishments is priceless. It's that look that makes me want to achieve the world for you. I owe all of my success to you.

It's because of you that I am who I am today. I've become a person who always puts family before themselves. I'm someone who won't give up just because I've hit a rough patch. You give me all the tools I need in life. Thank you for instilling your values in me. I hold them close to my heart. Most of all, thank you for never hiding your flaws. That has taught me to never be ashamed of myself. You have shown me to always own up to my mistakes and fix what I have broken.

I can't thank you enough for everything. Everything you have taught me, given me, showed me, I can't thank you enough. Mostly, thank you for loving me. Being exposed to people who don't have dads like you makes me so grateful to have you as a father. Your constant love and support throughout all of my endeavors is what I value. I would be so lost without you, and I thank you for the guidance. I love you more than anything. Thank you for everything.

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.
