May Is For Mothers

“To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow.” — Maya Angelou

May Is For Mothers

This is a response to I Am Unashamed Of Being Close To My Mom.

May is a month dedicated to celebrating the most important woman in our lives — our mothers. From the moment we are born, mothers are our protectors, nurturers, and our first teachers. They are the ones who love us unconditionally, and their unwavering support and guidance shape our lives in countless ways.

There is no denying that motherhood is one of the most challenging jobs in the world. Mothers are constantly juggling multiple responsibilities, from taking care of their children to managing their careers and households. They are often the glue that holds families together, sacrificing their own needs to ensure their children are healthy, happy, and well-adjusted.

Mothers play a vital role in shaping the lives of their children. They are the ones who instill important values such as kindness, empathy, and hard work. They teach us how to navigate life's challenges and encourage us to pursue our dreams. A mother's love and support are essential to a child's emotional and mental well-being, providing a sense of security and stability that is critical for healthy development.

As we grow older, our relationship with our mothers evolves. We become more independent, and our mothers become our friends and confidants. We turn to them for advice and guidance, knowing that their years of experience and wisdom can help us navigate life's challenges.

Despite the challenges that come with motherhood, mothers never stop giving. They are the ones who make us feel loved and supported, even when we are miles away. They are our constant cheerleaders, celebrating our successes and offering a shoulder to cry on when things don’t go as planned.

This May, let's take the time to honor and appreciate the mothers in our lives. Let's celebrate their sacrifices and thank them for all that they do. Whether it's through a heartfelt card, a phone call, or a special gift, let's show our mothers how much they mean to us. Let's take this opportunity to tell them that they are loved and appreciated, not just on Mother's Day, but every day of the year.

Mothers are truly the unsung heroes of our lives. They deserve all the love and appreciation we can give them, not just in May, but every day. So let's take this time to celebrate the remarkable women who have shaped our lives and continue to inspire us to be the best versions of ourselves.

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.
