Thank you for these five things this Mother's Day

Ode To My Evil Stepmother
Daily SMS Collection

From when I met you to now, you have shown me several reasons why you are just downright evil. I am obligated to get you gifts because you are family now. Luckily, I am on the ball with getting and giving people things. Aside from that, thank you for making my life so hard and making me do things. Happy Mother's Day!

1. You always made me get up out of bed for things.
Do you realize all the stress you caused me from making me get out of my hibernation? You told me to get up and I can honestly say there were times were I wanted to slam the door in your face, but I am so grateful for it because thanks to you, I was successful.

2. Always saying "chores build character."
If I didn't know for myself that chores make two things happen: a clean house and a fresh smell, I would have been skeptical my whole life. I can't be positive that my character was built by chores but I would like to believe it helped. I am so grateful for it, because thanks to you I have a rad personality and I enjoy cleaning my own apartment.

3. Forcing me to drink my milk
I never wanted to drink the milk because it was the nastiest part, but it has helped with my body somehow. I won't say my bones because I have hip problems but I have never broke a bone so maybe. I still hate the milk, A LOT, but I suffer through and drink most of it. I never understood this one, because it was not that big of a deal. I just needed moist cereal. I am also grateful for this, because thanks to you I have strong bones and other anatomy stuff (possibly.)

4.Taking care of me when I was sick
This one I can't really be hateful for but I surely didn't want to be sick at all. You couldn't have played God and made me better? I wish you could've but since you couldn't, I had to deal with nights on end throwing up and having fevers. Those are times I know we both don't miss. I am grateful for it though because thanks to you I got to have some comfort in my shitty times.

5.For making me love you
This was the evilest thing you ever did. When you married my dad I was young so I barely understood the concept of step parents, but you didn't care about that. You forced your way into our lives and implanted yourself into us. We grew to love you more as we grew but less when we were teenagers for obvious reasons but then more now that we are adults. I can only speak for myself but this was the biggest life changer for me.I never said it enough growing up, but you changed my whole life. I am so grateful for this because thanks to you I had a mother even if you were just step.

Thank you, stepmom, for all these evil things and many more. You are such a huge part of my life and I am forever grateful for you. Have a great Mother's Day. I love you.

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.
