A thank you for everything you have ever done for me

An Open Letter To The Mom Friend

We all have one, you’ve only read the title of this article and you’re already thinking about who she is. She has had your back multiple times, goes out of her way to help you, and checks up on you when you get to be too busy. She deserves a huge thank you, and this letter is the perfect way to tell her.

Thank you so much for the countless rants that you have listened to. Whether they were about boys, school, financial stresses, or life in general you have listened to them all. Not only that, but you have also had fantastic insight on how to fix these problems. A time or two you’ve even ranted with me, and I thank you for that because that helps me know that I am not alone.

Thank you so much for feeding me leftovers, or even going out of your way to cook an entire meal when I only had pennies in my bank account and no food. I am so incredibly blessed to have someone in my life that actually enjoys doing these things for me. Thank you for not letting me feel like a burden. Thank you for making sure I don’t let my pride get the best of me.

Thank you for not only helping me, but all of your other friends too. You go out of your way when one of us gets sick every day just to keep us company. When you make sweets, you’ve always asked all of us if we wanted any. I wish that ladies across the world would be as whole hearted as you are.

Thank you for short talks on the porch when we don’t have much time to chat. When we do have time, I appreciate the long walks you’d drag me on where we could either have serious heart to heart conversations, or just be silly and run through puddles after a big rain storm. I can always count on you to be there for me, just as you can always count that I will be there for you.

You are the mom friend, the friendly one, and the wise one. I know you tell me that you don’t think that you have your life together, sometimes you think your house is a mess when there is literally only one dish unclean, and you’re constantly stressing. I just wanted to let you know, that you must be doing something right. A number of people love and cherish you for how down to earth you are. Don’t ever change a thing about you because you truly are a blessing. I know life can get stressful, and sometimes you need somebody there for you too. If ever need be, when you simply cannot be the mom friend, I will one day attempt to be the mom friend for you as gratitude for all that you have done for me.

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.
