Everything I'm doing now is for you...

To My Future Child

Dear Future Child,

You don't exist yet, but already, everything I do is for you. Some people do not plan to ever have kids, and that's perfectly fine. It's a personal choice. Myself personally though, my life revolves around my future little me's.

When I think about why I'm in school and getting good grades, I know it's for you. The reason I work so hard to secure a good future career is for you. My children will always come first. I will spend all of my money on you so that you can be in the activities and sports you want to or to buy you the clothes and toys you want. My parents did that for me, and I'm going to do it for you.

I wonder if you have will have blue or brown eyes? Will you be a boy or a girl? Maybe I'll have one of each. Maybe I'll have two boys or two girls. All I know is that I will love you unconditionally forever.

People ask why I worry about my future kids now. The truth is, I have to. In order to make sure you have the best possible life, I need to start planning now. Everything I do is for you. I'm not to young to worry about you or the future, because my future will be here before I know it. I will love you so much. I wonder if I'll be as good a parent as my parents were. I sure hope so!

Some days I feel selfish or that I only think of myself, but how could that be true if I'm already trying to plan for your happiness? Some people feel that their own needs can come first, and yes they can. There's nothing wrong with putting yourself first. But to me, my happiness will be in raising my kids. I feel that my sole purpose in this life will be to raise and love my children the best that I can. That's why I'm here. I was given a purpose, to be a mom, and finally have the oppurtunity to love someone more than myself. That's what brings me happiness.

I love you and I can't wait to meet you one day!

Love,

Your Future 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.
