As a fellow “Mom” personality type, I’ve learned to love this role. Here are some things I’ve noticed for all you nurturing types out there.

  1. You are a morale checker. You’re always the one making sure everyone is happy and having a good time when you are all hanging out.
  2. You carry a big purse with LOTS of things in it. Whether it be sunscreen, sunglasses, or even a first-aid kit for some, you always come prepared.
  3. You make a point to make sure everyone feels included. This quality of a mom personality is quite a great one. You want to be sure that everyone has their place in friend groups.
  4. You’re the nurturer. If someone is hurting, physically or mentally, they naturally want to come to you, and you are just the right person. You LOVE making others feel cared for.
  5. You’re typically the one organizing get togethers. Let’s be real, you're are the planner. You love to organize and plan events and activities for the friend group to do.
  6. You’re the encourager. It is your pride and joy to make others feel great about themselves and what they do.
  7. You’re the advice giver. You’re always there to help guide a friend in making a good decision, and although you’re gentle, you’re honest.
  8. You tend to play it on the cautious side most of the time. While other friends are not always thinking about the consequences of some of their actions, you analyze the consequences of EVERY action you take.
  9. You’re a deep thinker. You tend to be one who is able to have a sense for certain situations and personality types.You love to analyze why people said what they did and the deeper meaning behind it all.
  10. You love to support friends in their accomplishments. You’re the one that attends their events. Whether it be a basketball game, a play, or anything. You name it, and you’ll try your very best to be there.
  11. You enjoy calling over texting. Nothing beats a good ole' conversation.
  12. You're typically the driver to any event. As the more cautious one, you love to be behind the wheel.
  13. You enjoy giving other people rides. Whenever possible. Picking people up is a joy for you.
  14. You love to be in control. If you could have everyone just listen and do what you have to say, life would be so much easier for them... Right?
  15. You typically enjoy baking because, I mean, who doesn't? Making cute decorated cupcakes to your mom's famous chocolate chip ones, it's what you love doing.
  16. You surprise people with little treats. Whether it be a cute note or a homemade cookie, you're always into making people feel special.
  17. But most importantly… You bless the friend group by simply being YOU.

Love,

A fellow motherly person

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
