I wouldn't be here without you!

Mom,

In the dictionary, the term "Mom" is defined as "The woman who loves you unconditionally from birth, the one who puts her kids before herself and the one who you can always count on above everyone else." The accuracy of this definition is crazy!

The one thing I probably will never forget is how much you sacrificed to give me the best life possible. You never failed to get me the supplies for my next two week obsession, which by the way was a waste of time. Just saying mom. Although, you never saw it that way. You helped me figure myself out with the means of trying everything out.

For that, I thank you. I am now a young (almost) adult figuring things out from a distance. Everything you worked so hard to give me has paid off. I'm now a college student hoping that one day in the future, I'll change the world. I honestly would not be here if it wasn't for you.

As we both know, at times I often get lost along this path. I get lost enough that I just want to give up, but I don't. The reason for that is because you have always been there. I know you're probably wishing and hoping that one day, meaning soon, I'll have my life together. Sorry to say, but that will not be soon.

For now, I'm here to reassure you that your sacrifices have not been in vain. I'm here because of you, and I'll make sure to be the best person I can be. I was taught from the best, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

When my career is all set in stone I'll make sure to repay you for your sacrifices. They mean the world to me, so it's only right if you see a piece of the end result. I promise you that I'll take you on the family vacation I have always talked about, and I also promise you to get you the home you deserve. A home that will truly belong to you. I promise you that once I get to where I belong, you'll never have to stress another day in your life because you don't know if you'll have enough money until your next paycheck. I promise you that.

As for now, I really hope you're proud of me. I truly do miss home, but I believe that I was meant to be in this place. I feel like this is where it will all begin. I can only ask that you don't give up on me.

If I didn't have you by my side, I don't know where I would be now. I am honestly extremely lucky to have you as my mom.

I love you, mom.

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.
