An Open Letter To My Mother For Mother's Day
Hanover Tavern

Mom,

I cant even begin to thank you for all you have done for me. If I did not have the love and support you have given me throughout the years, I know I would not be the person I am today. For that I thank you. I know that even though we are apart, you still love me, and know that I still love you. This one is for you, Mom. Happy Mother's day, and thank you for all you have done for me.

Here are some of the many reasons why I love you, and I know you love me.

1. First off, I wouldn't be here without you, literally, I would not be here. Thanks for bringing me into this world, by the way.

2. When life gets crazy or complicated, you are the glue that holds our family together.

3. When life gets so stressful that I forget who I am, you are always there to remind me. You're my biggest supporter.

4. You still have my arts and crafts projects, even the "not so great" ones.

5. You have taught me how to master "the look."

6. You put others before yourself, and have bestowed that value upon me. This is something I am forever grateful for.

7. You did not abandon me during my super long "awkward phase."

8. You have shown support for me in all of my endeavors and encourage me to follow my dreams.

9. Even when you were upset with me I knew you still loved me.

10. You have been one of my best friends from day one.


Mom, there are not enough words that I can find to thank you enough for all you have done, and continue to do for me. I wish you the best Mother's Day, and I hope that your day is as amazing as you are.

Love always,

Your Thankful Child

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
