A Letter To Someone I Never Really Got To Thank

My mother.

A Letter To Someone I Never Really Got To Thank

Mum,

I know writing this to you is useless, as you will never get to read this. However it makes me feel better. It gives me closure. Its coming close to you being dead for two years and it’s just strange. It seems like just last week you were sitting in your creme Chrysler with your curly hair singing Ordinary People. But no, more than two years ago that was you. I know I told you I loved you a lot, but I don’t think I ever really showed you. For that I am sorry. But I am so thankful that you brought me into this world everyday. I am so thankful that I got to grow up with you as a mom regardless of what you did. I am so thankful that I got the pleasure of knowing you for close to fifteen years. Looking back, I am so thankful for every day with you, even if it was just fighting or watching a movie. I am so thankful that you were there to support me, by believing in me and coming to my sports games and karate practice. I’m sorry I never told you how thankful I am, to have had you are my mother. I loved every minute of it, and I would do anything to just get a minute to hear your voice and hug you again. Just once would be a miracle. It is still unreal to me. Everyday that you are gone gets easier, yet harder at the same time.The past few days have been amazing, but out of nowhere something broke in me and I just felt agitated. I know that in the future I will be happy, just not one hundred percent. When you died a part of me was crushed, and I don’t think I can ever get it back. I can’t tell you how hard it is to feel like you have done something good, when you feel like your family is drifting away. Maybe I am just pushing them away. I don’t know. I just know that if you were here you’d be very proud of me. It sucks that you miss out on everything in Jess and I’s lives. I don’t know if you watch down on us. I don’t know what happens. I just wish you would be there to see me graduate. I love you and I miss you so much. Thank you for everything.

Love You Forever,

Annie

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.
