Being a dad isn't a walk in the park, especially to a girl, but you make it look so easy and I don't tell you enough how proud I am to be your daughter. So, here are six thank you's to you, dad!

Thank you for instilling a love of sports in me.

Not only did I get to bond with you over the most recent wins of our favorite teams, but it made me that much more appreciative of being a part of something greater than myself.

Thank you for all the food.

Crawfish, smoked bologna, corn on the cob, chicken, ribs, I named it and it was all I could eat whenever I wanted it, and I can never thank you enough for keeping my belly full and happy!

Thank you for protecting me.

No matter if it was, from the dark or the boys that came over. You always made sure I knew that everything was taken care of, and I was safe from the big bad world.

Thank you for showing me my worth.

You never failed to tell me I was pretty or smart even when I wasn't looking all that pretty or being all that smart. Your unconditional compliments showed me how a real man should see me.

Thank you for all the financial support.

Raising a dancer and a college girl isn't cheap, but you always made sure I had everything I ever needed. I don't say it enough, but what you provide me never goes unnoticed or unappreciated; I couldn't do any of this without you!

Thank you for, most importantly, being my dad.

Fatherhood isn't easy and at any time you could've walked away if you had wanted but you didn't. You've supported me, loved me, and raised me into the woman I am becoming and there are not enough thank you's in the world for that.

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.
