Thank You Letter To My Mom And Dad
Kailey Coen

Dear Mom and Dad,

Thank you for being the best parents a girl could ask for. I truly do not know what I would do without you two. I know I don't tell you enough how grateful I am and how much I love you, but I hope this letter lets you know at least a few things I am thankful for.

Thank you for being my biggest supporters in everything I do.

Thank you for staying up late to watch my favorite shows with me.

Thank you for always being there to talk to me whether I am upset about something orjust talking about our days.

Thank you for picking me up on my worst days and letting me know everything will be alright, and I honestly believe it when its coming from you.

Thank you for the countless home cooked meals, even now that i'm not living with you I can still count on some amazing food when I come home.

Thank you for texting me back in 2.5 seconds

Thank you for dropping whatever you were doing to hear whats going on in my life.

Thank you for putting up with my attitude. (I get it from you mom)

Thank you for teaching me how to be independent.

Thank you for pushing me when I need it most

Thank you for always answering the phone for my stupid questions.

Thank you for unconditionally loving me.

Thank you for always giving me your advice, but still allowing me to make my own decisions.

Thank you for always encouraging me to chase my dreams.

Thank you for always putting my brother and I first, even when I know you had more important things to do.

Thank you for driving me to my friends' house, the mall, practices, and everything in between before I could drive.

Thank you for saving all of my artwork that I made in elementary school and still having them hung on the fridge and around the house.

Thank you for listening to me rant about my friends, boys, or school.

Thank you for telling me you love me when I need to be reminded most.

Thank you for being my best friends.

And thank you for being the best, most caring, and loving parents. You've helped me become the person I am today and for that I am so grateful. I couldn't imagine not having you guys in my life. I love you.

Sincerely,

Your Daughter

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
