To The Parents Who Molded Me: I'm Like This Because Of You

Mum and Dad, you have always been the light in the darkness that never fades. When I don't know which way to go, you guys always lend a helpful hand. The countless pieces of advice that you have given me are how I make it through tough situations. The guidance you give is more helpful than you may have realized, as I don't always make it clear how much I appreciate the effort you put in to make my life easier. You do so much more than you have to.

You might think I never say I love you, but those words are expressed when I eat the wonderful food you cook, or sit with Mum as she rubs my head until I fall asleep. I express my love when I do things for you, like that one time I washed the dishes 3 years ago. Actions speak louder than words. Thank you for putting up with me and showing me kindness even when I'm in a bad mood. Like any family, we don't always get along but by the end of the day we are all friends again because we can't stay mad for long.

Since I was young you two have worked to instill meaningful life lessons and values into my life. Because of you I can confidently stay behind what I believe and know not to sacrifice my good qualities even when evil becomes the norm. You help me to think straight when I get caught up with dark thoughts or have been brooding for too long. I would not have graduated from high school if it weren't for your constant support and the late nights you would spend helping me study or do homework until I finally understood the topics. And we all know how terribly long that takes me.

I admire the devotion you both have to God's word and his commandments. I struggle to understand everything but Dad is always there to break it down into simpler words. You take the time to explain any questions I have. Thank you for all the encouraging verses you have sent me over the years.

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.
