A Letter To My Mom, My Friend
Steve Carroll

Dear Mom,

Thank you for being the warm hearted, caring, approachable person that you are. Growing up with you as my mother has given me someone that I can always confide in, and look towards for amazing advice. I know there were times when my middle school teenage self-thought that it was “uncool” to be seen out in public with adults, however, now this is absolutely not the case. In fact, you are one of my best friends, and I love being seen with you.

Whenever I feel overwhelmed, or just need someone to turn to, you are always there for me. Regardless of what I am dealing with, you always support me, and put what is in my best interest first, in order to see me succeed. Even if we are not together in person, I know that you are always a text or phone call away. Not everyone can say that they can approach their mom with anything, however, I truly feel that I can tell you anything and everything. Every time I talk to you, I always leave the conversation feeling refreshed, because you having a calming sole about you. Not only are you extremely supportive, you will also tell me when I make a mistake, or if I need to work on something. This is so helpful, and again speaks to the fact that you are always looking out for me and keeping my best interest in mind.

Not only do I highly value your support, and your ear that is always open, I also really love the time that we get to spend together. Whether we are having a one on one coffee date, or jamming out in the car to the best songs on the radio with all the Greineder girls, time with you is always enjoyable and well spent.

I am so fortunate to have you as my mother.

So, thank you for being the wonderful mother and person that you are. I truly love being able to say that my mom is one of my best friends, and this will forever be this way. I love you momma G.

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.
