Mom—I Think You Are Awesome, Even if I Forget to Tell You

Sorry for not expressing my feelings as often as I should.

Mom—I Think You Are Awesome, Even if I Forget to Tell You
Cara Duffy

With the craziness of life, sometimes we forget to sit down and take the time to tell our moms just how much we care about them. We all know how awesome our moms are. They are the first people in this world that show us what love is. I know how freaking amazing my mom is, but for whatever reason, I don’t tell her as much as I should.

So Mom—this one’s for you.

My mom is the most selfless person I know. I have never seen her buy one single thing for herself. She invests every dollar she earns and every second she has in her children. She has given me every opportunity I have ever wanted without asking for anything in return. She is funny without every being mean.

She stays up to make sure I get home, and doesn’t hate me when I call her in the middle of the night for a ride. She is caring without being too nosy. She is supportive, but tells me when my ideas are unrealistic. She is protective, but gives me just enough freedom to make my own decisions, and with that my own mistakes. She is the the most hardworking person I know, but always leaves time for her family. She is a beautiful person both inside and out. Oh, and not to mention she is an amazing cook. My mom is perfect.

Abraham Lincoln said, “All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother”.

Mom—you taught me how to be strong, clever, hopeful, and brave. Sometimes I forget to tell you just how much I care. But know I appreciate you more than I can ever articulate. Everything you do, no matter how big or small, does not go unnoticed. If one day I can only be half the mother that you are, I will be satisfied. Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on or friend to laugh with, at any second of everyday. You are my best friend. So since I don’t remind you as often as I should.

Mom, you are awesome.

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.
