I must first say that I love my mom very much. I have no idea of where I would be in this world without her. Yes, I have my dad who is also amazing, but my mom is a very important person. Moms, in general, are extremely important individuals. Mother's Day is very special, but it definitely should not be the only time you appreciate your mom.

Your mom may have carried you around for 9 months or maybe your mom is someone who voluntarily took you in, but whatever the circumstance that lovely lady deserves a lot of appreciation. Everyone is not fortunate enough to have moms, or strong womanly figures, in their lives. So, with that being said, if you do then you need to appreciate the heck out of her.

It doesn't take much to make a person happy, especially your own mom. You don't need to get your mom extravagant bouquets from some high-end florist every few months to show appreciation. The littlest things can make your moms day or even week. You can always save the big gifts for Mother's Day to still make it special and just focus on little gifts throughout the rest of the year.

The little things really do matter. Maybe you are home visiting and the dishes need to be done. Do those dishes! It'll make her day. Just spend some time with your mom talking about nonsense, that'll even make her day. If you aren't able to see your mom, then call her a little more than you usually do. The gifts you give your mom do not need to be materialistic. Just expressing your love through little things is truly enough.

Your mom, or whoever the motherly figure in your life is, loves you more than you could ever know. Make sure to let them know that you are thankful for the love you are being given. Let them know their love is definitely not going to waste but is being appreciated.

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.
