Dear Mom, You Are My Everything

They say, “Life doesn’t come with a book of directions, it comes with a mother,” and I think I got the Pulitzer Prize winner.

Dear Mom, You Are My Everything
Bridget Howard

Dear Mom,

You've been there for me through it all. You were my first best friend and have been ever since. Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on and biggest cheerleader in life.

You are my go-to gal, personal stylist, best friend, mentor, incredible role model, but most importantly, my mom. Whatever it is that I need, you are that person for me.

You are my everything.

You are the most caring, genuine and selfless person I know. You put others before yourself and have the biggest heart. You never fail to have the best advice and know exactly what to say in any situation, even on the worst of days. You always find the bright side. You are not afraid to speak your mind and have your own opinions. You have taught me so much throughout my life, but most importantly, you taught me how to stay true to myself--and that is something I will be forever grateful for.

Thank you’s do not come close to describing the love and appreciation I have for you, but I’m going to try anyway. Thank you, for our much-needed venting sessions and spontaneous shopping trips to Nordstrom. Thank you, for the inspirational Despicable Me Minion quotes when I'm having a bad day. Thank you, for always being down to get takeout instead of cooking.

Thank you, for teaching me the most random things. (Like how to fold the corners of sheets on a bed and making sure I knew in first grade, that I couldn't wear white after labor day.) Thank you, for sitting with me in my closet, for what seems like hours, while I search over and over for the perfect outfit for whatever it is I'm doing.

You are truly one-of-a-kind and the best mom a girl could ever ask for.

Your desire and passion to be the best mom, wife, friend, daughter and everything in between deserves praise each and every day. I hope to be half the incredible mom you are someday.

Having my mom as my best friend is truly a blessing and I could not be more thankful I get to go through life with you by my side.

So thank you for everything Mom.

I love you to the moon and back!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
