To My Mom...

"All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my mother" -Abraham Lincoln

To My Mom...

Whenever I am asked who I most admire, the first person who comes to mind is my mom. My mom is great. It may have taken me awhile to come to that realization after years of being a bratty teenager (I still am sometimes, but otherwise I'm a gem), but it's hard to deny the fact that my mom is amazing. I could never fully thank her for all that she has done for me the past 19, almost 20, years of my life.

My mom is hands down the most supportive person I have ever met in my entire life. There has never been a moment in time when she has not had my back and given me her full support. Even when I am a total screw-up, or I make bad decisions that she doesn't necessarily agree with, she will stand behind me and tell me that it will all be okay. As I've grown up, I've come to realize not everyone is as lucky as I am to have the amount of support that I do from both of my parents. Through every major decision and obstacle in my life, she has always made it known that her and my dad had my back. Even if no one else in the world believes in me, I know that my parents do.

Another admirable quality about my mom is her positivity. The glass is always half-full in her eyes. Even after a terrible day she still manages to have a smile on her face. I've become much more of a positive person, and that is because of my mom. She constantly encourages positivity, and always tries to find the good in situations.

Somehow my mom knows literally everything. I'm not sure if that just happens when you become a mom or what, but she has an answer to everything. She always knows where my stuff is when I've lost it. How she does that, I'll never know. My mom can give me advice about anything. She always knows exactly what to say, even if it's not what I want to hear. Sometimes, I really need that.

It's hard to put into words how much my mom really means to me and how much she inspires me. She has worked so hard to give me everything I've ever wanted, and I could never thank her enough for that. Moms just rock. LOVE YOU, MOM!

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.
