8 Classic Texts You Get From Your Mom
Thought Catalog

There's nothing quite like texts from our moms. In my experience, they usually involve a lot of punctuation, and I often have to decipher what she's saying before I can respond. It's not too different than getting drunk texts from my friends. Here are some classic 'mom texts' we've all received.

1. The Unnecessary Worry.


2. The (slightly more necessary, but still unnecessary) Worry.

My mom and I run into this one the most.




Seriously, all the time.


3. The Complete Lack of Worry.

At this point, should we actually be the one whose worried?

But, we've all gotten these a time or two. Moms have a lot to think about, what city their child is in can be a hard thing to remember.

4. The Hieroglyphic.


5. The Tease.

My mom likes to tell me about the fun she's having, and often include pictures but no invitation. Sometimes, like in the picture below, she even likes to add insult to injury. I hope this is all moms and not just mine?

6. Cryptic Messages.

These tend to involve a lot of 'haha's and '...'

or manic laughing at my age two years ago, in my moms case.

7. The Overly Excited.

A world without emojis sure can be dark.

8. The Unexpected Surprise.

Depending on who you ask, this could be the worst or best type of text from mom.

It's by far my personal favorite.

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.
