To My Mom, You Need To Hear This

Dear Mom,

Thank you for everything you have done for me. You have been there during my good and bad times. Thank you for being my best friend.

When I was a teenager I never thought we would ever be this close. I call you a least ten times a day just to talk about what is going on in life. Thank you for answering the phone and talking to me for maybe a minute just so I can walk by a tent and I don't have to talk to them because I'm on the phone with you. Thank you for listening to me and giving me advice when I have no idea what I am doing. You have helped me with so much. When I went through hard times you've always had my back and told me God had a plan for me.

Thank you for coming to all my softball games and football games. I never knew how much you loved watching me play till after it was over. You begged me to play in college just so you could keep watching me play. Sometimes I think you loved the game more than I did. You are my biggest fan and always will be.

I wouldn't be the person I am today without you. You showed me how to be a Godly woman. You taught me kindness, selflessness, how to be a leader, to follow what I believe, and to believe in myself. I didn't realize how much you impacted my life till I came to college. You push me to be my very best self.

Thank you for being my mom. You are the best mom in the world and the best friend I could have ever asked for. I love you, momma.

Love, Abbygale

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.
