Thank-you for being you

A letter to my Momma
Emily Pawlik

You are the Lorelai to my Rory. For those of you that are Gilmore Girls fans, will totally understand. If not; she is more than just my mother, she is my best friend. She has taught me everything I know and has made me the young woman I am today. Without her, I don't know where I would even be. So let me begin by saying thank-you.

Thank-you for being the ultimate best. You are always there for me no matter what. You're the kind of mother I can go to for anything and I know that you will always guide me in the right direction. You never mind those late night texts or phone calls. Because sometimes at 3am you need to know if the one day late expired food you ate 12 hours ago is going to kill you. Although I know I will be okay, hearing it come from you just makes me feel so much better.

Thank-you for understanding me more than anyone. You just get me. You know that an ice-coffee from Dunkin can cure anything. You also know that ice cream can make my bad day go to a good day. You know that a mall trip a week is a necessity, along with a Starbucks stop in-between. You practically know everything. You will never realize how much all the little things you do for me mean to me. From the countless trips up to college to visit me when I miss you, to literally putting my happiness and others before yours. I'll never be able to thank-you enough.

Thank-you for raising me the way you did. I may not have liked all the rules growing up, but I will forever be thankful for them. I now know that you did it for my best interest. I want to thank-you for the grace you had in doing it all. I know the drama of my teenage years had to be hard, but you handled it so well. As I started getting older, I watched so many of my friends drift away from their mothers. I'm so blessed that it never happened with us. We have only gotten closer as the years go on and I know we will continue to grow together.

Lastly, thank-you for being you. Everything about you I admire. I hope you realize how truly beautiful you are inside and out. Your presence is much appreciated. Not only can your smile light up a room, but your laugh is also contagious. Anytime you are around, I know I will have nothing but the best time. I pray that I become half the woman and mother that you are one day. Thank-you for everything. I love you so much, Momma.

Love Always& Forever,

Your Daughter

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.
