Thank you for being so amazing.

Mom And Dad: My Two Biggest Cheerleaders
Abby Campbell

To Mom and Dad,

There is so much I want to say and definitely not enough words to describe how much I fully appreciate you two.

Through every heartbreak, friend breakups, and even those awful math grades I came in with that made me feel like I wanted to curl up in a ball and never leave my room, you two were there.

My first heartbreak, you taught me that nobody who treated me so poorly was worth so many tears. You reminded me that I was a daughter of a king and therefore, I need to wait on my heavenly father's perfect timing.

You let me cry it out even though I'm kinda a drama queen and can really get on y'all nerves sometimes with all my teenage emotions and crazy text rants while I'm at school when I need someone to text and get it all out.

Every single football game, pep rally, y'all are there, and if you can't be y'all are still just as encouraging being my cheerleaders even if it's just through a phone call or text. Every time I need a uniform washed, one of y'all help me. Every night if I'm stressing over something somehow y'all know the exact words to calm me down.

You each remind me to take big leaps because I never might know what could become of them until I try,

As Donald Trump says "if you're gonna think, you might as well think big."

You both encourage me daily to think even bigger each day and to dream of doing the "impossible."

When I said I want to just major in political science and become a lawyer one day, you both said "Why not Governor after?" Y'all make me want to accomplish all I can in this lifetime. You don't laugh at my dreams, No matter how big and even ridiculous, you both smile and figure out what I can do to make them bigger and better.

Mom; I couldn't do life without you. Truly and honestly you are my best friend. I'm beyond thankful for our mommy-daughter shopping days where we jam out to Adele and DNCE. You help me with every cheerleading thing, every high school activity, and anything else I need help with or just a hand to hold.

Dad; No matter what the guy is like that I marry one day, you will always be the most important man in my life. From teaching me how to drive, teaching me how to shoot a gun, or how to be the best person I can be and to NEVER be afraid to speak my opinion, even if that means standing alone for what I believe in.

I love you both above the stars and heavens, around the world a billion times, and most importantly, I love y'all to the moon and back.

Thank you for being so amazing, You both are my person, I am truly so blessed with cool parents.

Xoxo, your daughter who loves you so

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.
