NOLIMITPICTURES/TWENTY20

People in a stable relationship tend to take some things for granted. We don't do it on purpose, but we should say thank you more often. For all of the times that you've done the things on the list--and all of the things that didn't make the list--thank you.

1. Thank you for letting me choose what to watch on Netflix.

Even if it means watching another romantic comedy.

2. Thank you for finishing my meal when I'm too full to do it myself.

I hate letting food go to waste, especially if I paid for it.

3. Better yet--thank you for sharing your food with me.

When I hate what I ordered, I can always count on you to swap. I also lov that you let me eat as many of your French fries as I want.

4. Thank you for singing along to my favorite song, even if you don't like it.

I know that Ed Sheeran isn't your favorite musician, but you know all of the words to "Don't" anyway.

5. Thank you for not complaining about my morning breath.

I know I'm not perfect when I wake up, but you make me feel like I am.

6. Thank you for always being down to take a nap with me.

There's nothing better than falling asleep next to you.

7. Thank you for letting me be the little spoon.

Everyone knows it's better than being the big spoon.

8. Thank you for doing anything to make me laugh.

You always know how to put a smile on my face, even after the worst day.

9. Thank you for doing that household chore I can't stand.

Or, to be more accurate, chores--plural. Washing the dishes, taking the trash and cleaning the shower--you're the best.

10. Thank you for not complaining when I take too long to get ready.

You never make me feel rushed because you are the most patient person I know.

11. Thank you for never leaving me on read.

Having a significant other who ignores your text messages? Can't relate.

12. Thank you for not screenshotting my ugliest Snapchats.

Even if you did, I trust that you wouldn't show them to anyone.

13. Thank you for taking care of me when I get sick.

I don't know how I'd get through an illness without you constantly bringing me bowls of soup and fluffier pillows.

14. Thank you for loving me at my worst-- which is usually when I'm hangry.

I know I'm not easy to handle when I'm hangry.

15. Thank you for encouraging me when I'm nervous.

Your encouragement makes me feel like I can do anything I set my mind to.

16. Thank you for cheering me on at all times.

Even if I don't succeed, I know you still think I'm a winner.

17. Thank you for listening whenever I need to vent.

Sometimes I just need to let it all out. You give great advice and you're an even better listener.

18. Thank you for always kissing me goodbye.

It's never easy saying goodbye to you, but a kiss helps.

19. Thank you for letting me take the last piece.

Whether it's that last piece of pizza or the last brownie in the pan, you always let me have it if I want it.

20. Thank you for comforting me when I'm sad.

You wipe my tears and rub my back until I feel better.

21. Thank you for loving me.

Through all of the good times and the bad, I know that I have found my forever in you. I love you more and more every day.

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.
