To My Mom For Mother's Day
Kirstyn Conwell

Hey Mom,

Thank you for being you. Thank you for loving me with all of your being every single day. Thank you for giving me constant encouragement and for picking me up when I'm feeling down. You're my No. 1 fan, my biggest supporter, and you're always rooting for me in everything I do. From grades to sports, to my job, I can always count on you to be right by my side through it all.

You attended all of my sports games, all of my school events, plays, practices, etc. You packed my lunch until I was in the ninth grade — I miss that. You drove me everywhere I needed to go, then taught me how to drive with an extreme amount of patience and persistence. You dealt with all of my sass and attitude from when I was a teenager and all of the drama that comes along with it. You even go to concerts and sit in the pit with me while we jam out to our favorite band. I can't thank you enough for enduring all of this just for me. Whoever said moms can't be their daughters best friends are clearly wrong, because you're my No. 1 best friend.

You've taught me how to be compassionate, brave and how to overcome anything that gets thrown my way. You've taught me how to be respectful and mature to my peers and adults, and I couldn't thank you more for that. You've accepted me through all of my pits and peaks, despite who I thought I was or who I wanted to be. I know that you love me, and through that, I've learned to love others just as well.

You make me want to do better. You make me want to achieve so much more. You motivate me in every thing I do because I do it for you. I want to make you proud, and I strive to be more like you every single day. You carry a lot on your plate, but you don't let that stop you from giving your all. You taught me that no matter what I do, I should do it with 110 percent at all costs. You've taught me how to be a leader and a hard-worker when it comes to things I am passionate about. Thank you for pushing me to be a better version of myself.

I love you more than I'll ever be able to put into words. I know I don't say it enough, but I am thankful for you and everything you do for me. You're generous, selfless, kind and humorous, and I couldn't ask for anything more in a mom. You mean the world to me, and I hope you know that. I love you!

xoxo,

Your Favorite Child ;-)

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
