Thank you for everything.

A Thank You To My Aunts
Renee Sherman-Gauthier

Throughout my years of growing up I have always cherished the both of you so immensely, but as I get older I truly realize how much you both mean to me, and I feel even luckier than years before. You both bring so much to my life that I couldn't imagine living without, and those are the things I am most thankful for.

Thank you for being my role models. You both have become beautiful, successful and admirable individuals. I look up to you each and every day, and base how I live my life upon your achievements because I truly hope to be like you both some day. You both demonstrate what it means to be a hard worker, and passionate about life reassuring me that growing up isn't that bad.

Thank you for always giving me advice. I might possibly be the most unsure person when it comes to making choices, or even after I've made poor choices, but every time these situations occur you are both there to give me the advice I need. You are always honest, but still kind, which is one of the things I am most thankful for. I would be lost without being able to talk to you about making any decision.

Thank you for showing me what strength is. Our family has definitely endured many difficulties over the years, but without you both, by my side, I don't think I would have gotten through it. No matter what the situation you always show me what it means to be a strong person, and I think that has helped me evolve as the person I am today. It is one of your most admirable traits. I am grateful that any struggles I have had to deal with, I have had you both there to know how I'm feeling and make the situation less hard.

Thank you for being my friend. Not only do I cherish you both as my family, I also cherish you as my best friends. Our relationship is so unique because of this. I am grateful that we laugh the way we do and can act as more than strictly family. I can come to you both with anything, just like I can with any of my friends, and you do not judge me.

Thank you for being you, I love you both.

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.
