Why My Mom Means The World To Me

Everyone has a story about their mother, mine just might be a little different

Why My Mom Means The World To Me
Huffington Post

From the start, she kissed my boo-boos and wiped my tears. She told me my outfit was unique as it was full of stripes, polka dots, flowers, and many mis-matched colors. She let me run as fast as i thought i could until my lungs burnt or I fell down and she had to pick me back up.

My mother, the strongest person I know, fell down once too.

I did not know how to kiss her boo-boos and i didn't know why I wiped her tears. Her fall was different from the ones I had though. She fell into more than just a ditch on the side of the road from riding a bike; she fell into something more that would not leave just one scratch or bruise.

My mother battled something not everyone has to, and not everyone understands. She fought in order to show my brother and I what wonderful things we are blessed with. She fought until she cried, she fought until she could not smile anymore, she fought until that last day when the doctor told her she was free. And then she smiled. She picked herself up again and began to stop crying. She picked herself up, and kissed her own boo-boos and the only other person I learned that was able to do so, were superheroes.

Why my mom means the world to me is answered with one sentence.

My mom means the world to me because I would have no world without her.

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.
