This One's For You, Mom

I wish that I could fully put into words how thankful I am for you, but I'm gonna give it a shot.

This One's For You, Mom
Peyton Smith

Where do I even begin to explain the amount of love I have for you? There is no one out there quite like you and I am more than thankful to call you mom. From the very beginning, you have been the one I know I can turn to no matter what. A boy broke my heart? I call you. In a fight with a friend? I call you. Stressed about school? I call you. Can't figure out how long I should heat my leftovers up for? I call you. Even if I just get bored and want to have a chat, you are always my number one choice to call.

You taught me how to carry myself with grace and confidence but to also always keep a humble heart. I look up to you in ways that you cannot even imagine, you are the woman that I strive to be like in everything that I do. Your love for the Lord and your compassionate and caring heart are what have made me into the person that I am today and there is not one thing in the world that I would trade you for.

Sometimes I think that we are so alike it actually scares me. I know you hate my attitude sometimes but I also know you can see where it comes from *wink wink*. We share the same laugh and the same hard head. I am thankful to share so many traits with you because to me you are the most beautiful, loving, and kind woman that I know and if one day I am even slightly the woman that you are, I will be living a good life.

I am blessed with every bit of advice you give me when I am being dramatic or stubborn. I am blessed with the love that you shower me in even when I don't deserve it. I am blessed to have the home that you have made for our family, and every day I am blessed with your unconditional love and support. I love you so big, mom. You are my heart and my rock. Never forget how loved and cherished you are.

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.
