There are so many things to be grateful for; here are just six of them.

The Top Six Things I Am Most Grateful About Having You In My Life
Sydni Lantieri

Throughout my whole life, if you knew me, you would know I'm extremely stubborn and opinionated. Before I even learned how to talk I had a strong opinion and I had no way to say it out loud so I expressed my opinions through biting, scratching, hitting, kicking, head-butting, et cetera. As soon as I started talking though, I would not stop! I always had an opinion about every little thing. Not very many people can handle a personality like that, but those who can have still stuck around.

I am so grateful to have all the amazing people that I have in my life. I especially wanted to thank my boyfriend for everything he does for me (and he certainly does a lot for me and my family). We've been together for almost five years now, since my freshman year of high-school. Our life together hasn't always been perfect, but I am overjoyed to have been able to spend it with him.

1. First, thank you for absolutely everything you do.

I don't know what I would do without you! Seriously, you do so much for me and my family and I don't think I've said it enough and I mean it. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

2. I'm sorry that I'm not perfect.


I make mistakes, but I know that whatever happens we can get through it together. You prove that to me even when I've made horrible mistakes and you still sit next to me at the hospital, holding my hand, telling me that you love me and taking care of me no matter what.

3. Thank you for being just like a part of the family.


If you haven't noticed before, you are definitely a part of the family. Including the sudden inappropriate outbursts made in public by the rest of our crazy family (and you can't say you don't tag along because you do!)

4. I am so glad that you coupon!


Not everyone has the patience to do this and you most definitely get your money's worth (and so does the whole family) even though I know it kills you to give all of your products away. I am so thrilled that you are willing to give up a big majority of your products to the HOPE House for the American Cancer Society.

5. Thank you for letting me be just as much a part of your family as you are to mine.


I love that we have all been able to get so much closer over the last few years. Our families are almost complete opposites of each other, but we both fit in! Let's just say that family vacations can unquestionably change a person's views on another person.

6. I'm glad that you loved me even when I wasn't very lovable and still continue to love me every day.

I know that I am stubborn, but so are you! Sometimes we butt heads, but at the end of the day, I know that you'll always be there for me no matter what. Thank you.

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.
