To The Girls Who Can't Live Without Their Mother

My lifelong best friend

To The Girls Who Can't Live Without Their Mother
Bash wiser

In all honesty, what would we do without our mother? She has taught us almost every lesson in life. And, she can ALWAYS point out a fake friend way before we ever can. She taught us how to love unconditional because Lord knows there have been times where she'd like to kill you but loves you anyway.

If you're like my own mother and I, you always butt heads because you are the EXACT same person. We argue and we fight like cats and dogs but that's only because we always have to have the last word, and we're experts at pushing each other's buttons...because well...our buttons are the exact same.

She taught you how to straighten your hair, how to curl your hair, and even how to brush your hair. You probably feel as though you should be bald from all the times she slicked your hair back into the tightest ponytail she could possibly get. I mean some of us should have brain injuries from how hard our mothers pulled our hair into those things!

Our mothers taught us how to do makeup. Not necessarily that heavy black eyeliner stage we all went through... but she taught us how to apply lipstick, what eyeshadows to use, and to never use too much mascara because our eyelashes should not clump together.

Moms make us strong. They hold us while we cry, buy us ice-cream when our hearts get broken, and wipe away our tears when everything is going totally downhill.

As I grow older I realize all the amazing things my mom has done for me, and all the lessons she has taught me, even if I was being hard headed about it. But no matter how mad we make each other, how many days apart we go without seeing each other and talking, I know I will forever have a lifelong best friend, and I will never be alone.

So, after you read this please give your mother a hug, and tell her you love her. She'll appreciate it more than you know.

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.
