A Thank You Letter To My Momma
Tori Covington

Momma,

Thank you for everything you do for me. I know that is a broad statement, so lets dig a little deeper.

Thank you for the never ending support and love, having a mom who can be your mom and best friend is something special and i am so thankful that i can share it with you. Our Lorelai and Rory relationship is one for the books, i mean honestly how many times have we said we need to make a book out of our conversations?? From sitting on the couch watching hallmark Christmas movies to dancing to 90's rap music, our bond is one that will never be broken.

Thank you for always holding me to a high standard, but knowing my breaking point at the same time. You are the reason i've always pushed myself so hard in school to get great grades. No, it's not because you were breathing down my back pressuring me to get the A's, it was actually the exact opposite. Because you did not push and push i felt as if it was my job to make you proud, and in doing that i would make myself proud. Coming home to tell you i still had a 4.0 every 9 weeks and getting a huge smile and hug out of you meant the world to me.

Thank you for passing down your wisdom to me and making me into the person i am today. It is because of you that i am the way i am. When i am told i have a good head on my shoulders? You are the one i have to thank for that. From your endless words of knowledge to our shared love of literary classics, we get each other. Some of my favorite moments are ones where we are talking about something, or in a conversation with other people and we say the exact same thing at the same time, only to have the same reaction eye glance and saying of "Weird".

Thank you for being the best single mother out there, I may be a little biased but i think many people would agree. It takes a lot for a young women to raise a child the way you did. You put me above all others and made sure we always had what we needed and i am forever grateful for that. You are the hardest working person i know, and i hope people see you the way i see you. I can only pray that i will be half the women you are when i get older.

Thank you for being the best mom out there, I love you more than words can explain.

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.
