Why I'm Praying For a Relationship Like My Parents
Headline Politics

Your parents are your first really example of a relationship. For some people this is a good thing and for some its a bad thing. No matter what though, every child takes away from what they see in their parents relationship. You are shaped by it and most of your relationships are also. I was blessed with the ultimate example of love and what it takes to make a relationship work. Marriage isn't easy, I've seen that firsthand (as I'm sure everyone has). But if I'm lucky enough to have anything like what my parents have, I'll consider myself one of the luckiest girls in the world.

My parents taught me that true love exists. That God did make this person match your heart perfectly. Time doesn't matter and if you love this person you show them. They show me each and every day that love can constantly grow stronger. My parents show me what its like to wake up with the same person by your side every single day and appreciate it more every time.

My parents taught me that true love is being with your best friend. No matter how bad the day, that person can find a way to make you smile. They can tell when youre upset by just the tone of your voice. There's no longer a need to be anyone but yourself because exactly who you are, is their favorite person in the world.

Lastly my parents taught me how to love eachother and still be the best parents a girl could ask for. Their love shines through them and pulls the family together. Theie love spreads to their children and made a family I can only thank God for letting me be apart of.

My parents taught me to never settle for anything less because true love is out there. It isn't easy and it isn't always fun. but their is truly nothing else like it. True love is someone who will bother you and annoy you every day for the rest of your life. And you wouldn't have it any other way. That's why I'm praying for a relationship like my parents have.

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.
