To The Powerful Women In My Life, Thank You

"Time makes you bolder, even children get older, and I'm gettin' older, too." - Landslide, Fleetwood Mac

To The Powerful Women In My Life, Thank You
Megan Wittorp

As I get older, I realize that life is more difficult than every TV show and movie makes it seem.

Troubles cannot be resolved so easily and people will not change so easily either.

Thankfully, I grew up with you, and because of that, I have inherited the same strong character that has been passed down to generations before me.

I have learned to be just as powerful as you are.

I grew up learning life lessons that have helped shape me into who I am today, and every day I am thankful for that.

I'm thankful for all the moments in my life, small and large, that have taught me the lessons that make me who I am.

Growing up is incredibly scary the moment you realize it's not what you always thought when you're young.

It's full of heartbreak from relationships of all kinds, uncertainty while learning the ropes of adulthood, and confusion as to who you are and where you're going as life can change so quickly.

I know as I've gotten older, I've had to learn some lessons the hard way, but I know that every step I've ever taken and will continue to take in my life, you're there behind me. I know that whatever I face in life, the lessons I've been taught will be there to guide me.

I have had the opportunity to learn strength, confidence, kindness, and compassion, from the strongest, most confident, kind, and compassionate women I know.

You have been able to learn from each strong woman before you and add to the eternal wisdom, ultimately passing it down to the powerful woman that will come after yourself. I'm grateful to be one of those women.

I am young and have so much ahead of me, but I feel confident every step of the way because I have been passed traits so many no longer have.

I have no idea what the future will bring me, but I am confident I'll be able to take it on because I was raised by the best.

I'm inspired by the song "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac — a song which we had the privilege of hearing live together.

I'm impacted by the line "time makes you bolder, even children get older, and I'm gettin' older, too."

As time goes, I can only become stronger in myself and I realize, as a child, it's part of getting older.

I know as I get older, I will only grow more.

I will become bolder.

I hope that with time, I can be just strong as you.

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.
