A Well-Deserved Thank You To My Boyfriend's Mom

To the woman who raised him,

I am very lucky to have spent the time I have with your son. He never fails to make me laugh, and loves me even on my worst days. He is caring and supportive. He never says anything to hurt me. He's respectful. He works hard at everything that he does. And I owe it all to the woman who raised him. You taught him right from wrong and how to be a gentleman. I know he was probably a handful growing up, and you deserve endless thank you's for raising him to be the man he is today.

He really is a momma's boy. He does everything that he can to make you proud. He loves you more than words can explain, and I know he appreciates everything that you've done for him to make him the man he is today.

Thank you for teaching him to be respectful. He doesn't just respect women, he respects everyone. You taught him well. He calls me "beautiful" instead of "hot." He holds doors open for me. He pays for things for me, despite my attempts to pay sometimes 'cause "that's how he was raised."

You taught him how to treat a woman. He puts up a tough act, but in reality, he's got a huge heart and he's the sweetest person. We get into petty arguments sometimes, but he never fails to make me feel loved and special every day and I have you to thank for that.

Thank you for teaching him the value of hard work. He has so much perseverance and he's so dedicated to everything that he does. He has so much drive whether that be at work, in school, or in his everyday life.

Thank you for supporting his soccer career all those years. Sitting in the rainy weather, traveling countless hours to games, and doing whatever you could whenever you could to support his love of the game. I played soccer for a season when I was six, so I don't know much of what the job entails, much less to be the support system that you were and I'm definitely not the sports fanatic that he is. But I love watching how he lights up when he talks to me about his time playing and hearing about his passion for the sport.

Thank you for accepting me into your home and giving me the opportunity to make memories with your family. You're one of the sweetest women I've met, and I see where your son gets his loving and big-hearted personality from.

Thank you for raising the man of my dreams,

Your son's girlfriend.

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.
