You'll forever be my mom.

Mom,

They say that your mom will be your best friend for life, and the more I grow up I come to realize that more and more. So here's to you, Mom.

First, I want to say thank you. Thank you for the endless support and love that you have given me, for listening at any time of the night, and for always giving the best advice. You'll never know how much that truly means to me. The more I grow, I come to realize that you're my best friend in the world, and I am so glad that I get to share my life with you. I can't thank you enough for all of the endless nights you spent cooking and cleaning. For all of the extras you provide me when you don't have to. and most of all, for giving me life and for putting every single one of your kid's needs before yourself. There's not enough time in the world to thank you for that. Thank you for being the super woman that you are. There are so many days that I sit and wonder what I did to deserve a mom like you, and there truly isn't an answer. God blessed me with one of the best women in the world to be my mom, and I couldn't be more thankful for that.

Second, I want to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all of the times that I disrespected you and called you things that will stick in my head for the rest of my life. You don't deserve half of the things thrown at you, but after every fight you always still love me. Thank you. I'm sorry for all the nights I let you cry over something I said or did. I promise I didn't mean it, and I hope you know how much I wish that I could take it back. You are my backbone, and I'm so sorry for treating you badly. I hope you know how much I love you, and that I will forever be by your side,

Last, I want you to know how much you are loved. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about calling you to tell you about my day. We may not always talk, but I am always thinking about you. You are such an amazing person, Mom, and I hope you realize that. I have never met someone else in my life that puts everyone they meet before themselves. I hope you know your kindness does not go unnoticed, and you are one special woman. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank God for everything you have done for me over the years. I love you with all of my heart, Mom, and I hope you know I will always be your little girl.

So thank you, for not only being my best friend, but also my mom. I don't know what life would be like without you.


Love,

Your Daughter

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
