An Open Letter To My Mother

Thank you for never giving up on me.

An Open Letter To My Mother
Alessandra Ambrosio

Someone said that, “Of all the gifts that life has to offer, a loving mother is the greatest of them all.” – It would take a million papers to write down how grateful I am for having someone like you in my life. Even though you had always seen my flaws and that I always push you to your limit, you still choose to love me unconditionally. Here are seven reasons that sums up on why I am thankful for having a loving mother like you.

Thank you:

1. For Taking Care of Me

I was lost how many times throughout my journey and you were still there willing to guide me. I fell down how many times but you were still there waiting to catch me. You were there for me through my tough days and even though you are having your own problems, you always choose to help me first before yours. I failed multiple times in my life, however, you were still there for me filling my life with inspirations and motivations to stand up and be brave.

2. For Understanding Me

Even though I always push you to the limit especially when I was younger, you never got tired of giving me your patience over and over again. You never gave up on me despite of the things we have been through in our lives. You never left me when I thought you were disappointed of me failing to follow directions in life.

3. For Sacrificing Everything For Me

You were always ready to move places just to give me the best life possible, such as leaving your country where you grew up just to bring me to place where there are many opportunities waiting for me. You were always ready what to do no matter how busy you are. You were still there beside me when there are times that I need you the most.

4. For Supporting Me

You considered my dreams as your dreams as well. You encouraged me so well to pursue my goals with passion in life. You were successful in inspiring me to do what I wanted to do and that you were always there to check if I am doing the right thing.

5. For Accepting Me The Way I Am

I may be annoying most of the time, but you still accepted me the way I am. You still choose to love me despite of how much you have to deal with me.

6. For Raising Me Well

I grew up learning too much about myself because you taught me how to accept the reality of life. You helped me how to deal with my emotions. You taught me how to be mature. And you kept on reminding me not to tolerate bad things in life.

7. For Giving All Your Best

In this world, mothers are always the best. You always think about your children first before yourself. And so you are the best gift that God has given to me. You are worth more than a jewel and I am thankful enough for having someone like you in my life.

Mom, I love you so much.

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.
