What Happens When Your Mom Is Your Best Friend

There's no better feeling.

What Happens When Your Mom Is Your Best Friend

Mother's Day is a day to celebrate the maternal figures of the world and everything that they do for their children. Many people are close to their moms, but it is a rare and special scenario when someone can say that they are best friends with their mother. Fortunately for me, I am one of those people.


1. She is your biggest fan (and you're hers).

Your mom supports all of your decisions in life. After all, she just wants you to be happy. When all of your hard work pays off, she's the first one to congratulate you and you knew that she would be because she's been cheering you on the whole time. However, this isn't a one-way relationship. When you look at your mom and see everything that she juggles in her life, you're amazed by how she holds it all together so effortlessly.


2. She gives the best advice.

Your mom wants what's best for you. Whenever you have a problem, your mom is your go-to gal. She always knows just what to say to make you feel better and seems to have all of the answers to any problem that you throw at her.


3. Hanging out with her isn't a chore.

When you're not close with your mom, spending time with her can feel like another duty to check off your list. However, when your mom is your best friend, hanging out with her isn't something that you should do. It's something that you want to do.


4. You talk to her almost every day.

Whether it's in-person or over the phone, you find a way to talk to your mom every day. You tell each other everything, even those embarrassing or personal stories that most people hide from their parents. Your day doesn't feel complete until you speak with your mom at least once.


5. You always know how to make each other laugh.

Over the years, you and your mom have acquired plenty of inside jokes and you know each other well enough to know exactly how to get a chuckle out of one another. Even on your worst days, your mom can get you to laugh like nobody else can and it makes you so happy that you can do the same for her.


6. There's nobody else who you would rather be with.

No matter where you are or what you're doing, you wish that your mom could be there with you. Being with your mom gives you a sense of comfort that nothing else can. Her hugs, her voice, and her personality are all irreplaceable.

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.
