My Unexpected Hero

My mother is a true hero

My Unexpected Hero

My hero has gone through so many struggles throughout their life. But has never lost their sense of humor and their positive outlook on life.They love with all their heart and are always compassionate towards others. My hero is my mom.

My mother has held my hand through trying times, always being someone that I can fall back on when I am not strong. I have seen her resilience during hard years, admiring her strength on tough days. She has been my role model in life and shown me that I can accomplish anything that I set my mind to. Supporting me through my endeavors, always encouraging me when I needed it. She is my shoulder to cry on, the always listening ear and the mouth of wisdom, even when I don’t necessarily want it.

Being there through thick and thin. Loving me unconditionally, when I definitely didn’t deserve it. Showing me patience and temperance. I still look up to her today, she may never know it but I have always looked to her when I was unsure of myself. She gave me confidence when I had none. Always knowing when I had something on my mind and willing to listen. I could not have asked for a better mom.

Life has not been easy for her but that has never stopped her from being an empowered woman. Accepting things as they come, even when she doesn’t understand them. Standing up for what she believes in and not allowing people to belittle her for the person that she is.

My mother raised four children, loving each of us for our unique personalities and helping us grow into the adults that we are today. Being who she needed to be for each of us. Giving all of herself into her passions and her family, making miracles happen when there was no solution. She protected us but never held us back. Striving to make a happy home with what she was given.

My mom was not perfect but she was one hell of a mom. And I could not imagine my life without her. Without my hero.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
