Open Letter To All Of The Young Single-Parent Moms Out There
Alyssa Downes

Do you know someone who is a young single parent mom and they are amazing at what they do? Do you ever wonder how in the hell they do it on their own? From working a full time job, to those sleepless nights, to basically doing everything without a second pair of hands, could become very difficult, and frustrating. I know someone who is beyond amazing at being a mom, and that person is my sister.

Sister, you had your son at a young age, and I was worried that you wouldn't be able to provide for him the way you should provide for your child, and yet you managed to do just that.

Sister, I know you are tired, stressed out, and overwhelmed, but you manage to stay strong, to stay positive. Raising a child is very expensive, and yet you manage to make sure your son has a roof over his head, food, diapers, toys, clothes, etc..

Being a single parent is hard. You are on mom duty 24/7, with no breaks in between. I know you didn't plan to be a single parent mom, but you're doing an amazing job, so never doubt yourself.

I am sure many people doubted you and said you wouldn't be able to do it, but you did it. Sister, I cannot reward you enough. You bend over backward to do what you have to do in order to give your son the best life he can possibly have.

Sister, even though you do not have a partner to lean on, I will always be there for you. I will be the best godmother I can possibly be. I just want to say thanks, thanks for bringing such an amazing human being into my life. He truly is such a blessing.

To all of the young single parent mom's out there, you rock! You are incredible people. Being a single parent is not an easy job, and many cannot handle it by themselves. Reward yourselves because you deserve it! Each one of you are surviving and thriving to becoming not just one parent, but two; both mom and dad.

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.
