10 Things I Want To Thank My Mother For
All Express

We take our mothers for granted, let me do our laundry, cook our dinner, and even clean our rooms. However, like most people, I often forget to thank my mother for all that she does for me. Even the little things.

1. Thank you for giving me life.

So many people forget that without their mothers, they would not have a life. We take that for granted more than we should.

2. Thank you for my little sister.

We fight and argue, but I do not know what I would do without the little brat. She is the best gift my mother could have ever given me.

3. Thank you for always being there.

There is not a moment in my life when I have needed her, that she has not been right there for me. Always.

4. Thank you for disciplining me.

i was not a bad child but I was disciplined when it was necessary, because of that, I have grown into a respectful adult.

5. Thank you for always pushing me to do better.

She knew when I was fooling around at school, or in life, and always made me do better. For that, I am grateful. Without that extra push, who knows where I would be.

6. Thank you for always being proud of me.

Even when I was not performing to the best of my ability, academically, my mama always told me how proud she was of me. Having a parent who is proud, made me strive to do that much better.

7. Thank you for saying "I told you so," when he broke my heart. Again.

No one wants to hear "i told you so," but it is true. She told me over and over that he was no good. Time after time I went back, and he kept proving her right. Mothers know best, y'all.

8. Thank you for loving me.

Just because your mother gave birth to you, does not mean that she absolutely has to love you, as terrible as that sounds. I am forever thankful for the unconditional love that my mother has shown me.

9. Thank you for always having faith in me.

She has always had faith in me, even when she probably should not have. Somehow my mama always knew that I would make the right decision in the long run.

10. Thank you for being my mama.

More than anything, thank you, God, for blessing me with the most wonderful mother a girl could ask for. We fight like sisters, but in all reality, my mama is the best friend I have ever had and I have no idea where I would be without her by my side.

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.
