9 Thank-Yous Your Parents Don't Always Hear, But Always Deserve

To my Mom and Dad,

There are no amount of words I can put together for how thankful I am for both of you. I never say it enough, but I am so grateful for all of the things you do for not only me but my siblings too. You have taught me how to strive for the things I want, to always push through the hard times, and to love others as much as I can.

Thank you for dealing with the endless soccer games, tournaments, and practices.

Thank you for dealing with my phone calls to you both when walking to class every day.

Thank you for always making me laugh when I'm down or upset.

Thank you for teaching me to love myself and know my worth.

Thank you for supporting me and all of the decisions I make about my future.

Thank you for still loving me through all of the mistakes and troubles I have caused during my rebellious years.

Thank you for always helping me with homework assignments or editing a paper at the last minute before a deadline.

Thank you for working so hard in life to give me the best life I could possibly have.

Thank you for the countless birthdays, Easter basket deliveries even in college, flowers on Valentine's day, you truly make me feel loved anytime you can.

I don't always tell you thank you, or for how grateful I truly am for the both of you, but I am.

Without having you guys by my side in life, I honestly have no idea where I would be right now. Being away from home has made me realize how thankful I am to always have you guys to go to, no matter the distance between us. You've taught me what I want to be as a parent for my children one day. I love you both endlessly.

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.
