A Letter To My Parents, The Two People Who Inspire Me Everyday
Gabriella Gruber

Mom and Dad, Since I don't say it enough, thank you for all that you do...

.....Would be a cliche way to start to express the amount of love I have for both of you. Actually, I do express how much I love and appreciate both of you regularly and I want to tell you why I do this.

I wouldn't have become who I am today without the both of you. Thank you for instilling core values in me and teaching me right from wrong. I may not have always been so grateful for this growing up, but I am now.

Thank you, for standing by my side. It is no secret that I was a little diva growing up, so thank you for having patience and loving me through it all.

Thank you, for inspiring me every day with how hard both of you work. I hope to one day be as successful and passionate as the both of you. I feel so blessed that I have two parents that are complete opposites but, come together to form a union. A union that has given both, my brother and I balance and structure to build a future with.

Thank you for allowing me to make my own decisions growing up and letting me express my personality. I am confident in who I am today because I had parents who allowed me to be me, every step of the way. Thank you for reminding me that only God can judge me and to always be myself.

Thank you for spoiling me and giving me the world, but also teaching me the importance of hard work and the value of a dollar.

Thank you for supporting my dreams and helping me achieve them, even when my dreams change every month. Thank you, for always making me feel important and loved.

Thank you for always being there for me when I needed a shoulder to cry on, which was a lot. Thank you, for teaching me how to take deep breathes when I am anxious and how to appreciate the good in life, because there is so much of it.

Thank you, for understanding everything about me, more than I understand about myself. Thank you, for making me strong and passing down your big hearts to me.

Thank you, for making home a place I want to be and somewhere full of love.

I will forever be grateful for the both of you, and this is why I tell you I love you, every day.

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.
