A Well Deserved Thank You Letter

In everything, give thanks.

I think that it is important to take the time to tell the people you love how much you love them while they can still hear you. As things in our world become chaotic and filled with many tragedies and horrible events, it is important to realize how many things we have to be thankful for. Even after this letter, I still won’t have said enough. But, I figured what better time to give some thanks to the most important people in my life.

To my Mom and Dad,

I don’t know how you have managed to keep your sanity over the past 20 years raising me, because I know I haven’t always made it easy on you guys. But I can never thank you enough for doing so. Thank you for always giving me a roof over my head, clothes on my back, and food on my plate. And for always loving me and my siblings unconditionally. No matter the circumstances, you two have supported the four of us through everything. And you always seem to go the extra mile doing so. Without the two of you, I don’t know where I would be. And I wouldn’t be half the person I am without you. It’s really no secret I got blessed with the most loving parents there are. I don’t tell either of you hardly enough how grateful I am to have the best parents in the world. So thank you, and I love you.

To my two older brothers and older sister,

If it weren’t for you guys, my life would be ridiculously boring. To my brothers, thank you for raising me to be anything but weak. Because of you, I am strong enough to fight my own battles. Even if it took getting my butt-kicked plenty of times growing up, I’d say it made me pretty tough in the end. And they make for pretty hilarious stories now. Thank you for making me brave. Inside and out, you are the strongest people I have ever met. I will forever look up to the two of you.

everything with you. And I know I have always been a big pain in the butt, so thank you for letting me walk in your shoes (Which you left pretty huge shoes to fill). Thank you for always reminding me my dreams are never too far out of reach.

amazing people. Life would be incomplete, to say the least. Thank you for having my back always. And I mean that. You are the ones who I go to at 12 pm when I need a little break from school, and 12 am when I need a little break from life itself. And you are there for me every hour in between. Thank you for being exactly what I need to get me through the hardest times. But also, for being the most exciting and supporting people to celebrate the good times. Thank you for believing in me, when I don’t believe in myself. I truly don't thank you all enough for being the absolute best.

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.
