Thank you for everything.

An Open Letter To My Mother
Jasmine Caldwell

Mom,

What a time we have had. All of the irreplaceable memories. All of the arguments. All of the tears. All of the jokes. You have never let me down. You have always been there for me. Even when I’m overly dramatic. Even when I’m wrong and can’t admit it. I know that a mother like you is hard to find. You are kind, caring and compassionate. I’ve always appreciated how much time and effort you put forth to make sure that everything in my life is going as well as it should.

You have never doubted me. You’ve never steered me wrong. Whether it came to school, sports, or whatever topic I was obsessed with for that week. You always supported me. Being an only child, it was you and I. A dynamic duo that could take over the world. You always listened to me for hours on end because when I tell a story, I have to tell you it from every angle.

Thank you for making me grilled cheese sandwiches at midnight. Thank you for not judging me when all I want to do is dance and sing at the top of my lungs, especially when you join in with me. Thank you for holding me in my own car as I cried my eyes out over the boy that I just seemingly couldn’t let go of. Thank you for answering my 3am drunk phone calls when my mind couldn’t stop spinning. Thank you for letting me call you to moan and groan about school work and how I didn’t want to do it.

Thank you for being the best mother I could’ve asked for. Everything that you’ve done for me doesn’t go unnoticed. I know that you will be my number fan for all eternity and I hope you know that I will be yours. I know that if I could be half the woman you are, I would be fine.


All my love,

Jasmine

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.
