Thank you, Dad.

A Letter To My Favorite Man In The World
Gabriela Alboucrek

I know there are some individuals in the world who are not able to relate; I fully understand that not every relationship is perfect, or that one even exists in the first place. But I would like to write and express my thoughts about the one man in my life who has constantly been there for me time after time.

To all the dads out there, we are so lucky to have you in our lives. This list can never end, but I want to speak for everybody who is as fortunate as I am to have such an amazing father, and thank you for the many things you have done for us.

So first off, thank you for providing us with an endless amount of opportunities. From education, to athletics, to music to volunteering and exploring, we have so many ways to expand our chances of succeeding.

Secondly, thank you for working hard. You showed us that success doesn't come easily and that dedication, passion and diligence are crucial for pursuing what you love to do.

Thirdly, thank you for supporting our family single-handedly. it's not easy being the only working member of the family. We appreciate everything you give us, we appreciate your ability to give us more than what you give yourself. We love you for your generosity. it's what makes you so special.

Thank you for caring about our health. I know it's in your nature, but you don't realize how loved it makes us feel when you care about our well-being.

Thank you for showing us the world. Every time you get a vacation, you make sure the entire family comes along with you on your adventures. I personally can't believe how much I traveled with you -- Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, The Caribbean islands and all over the country. I know the list will not end there.

Thank you for loving our mothers. It inspires us to find ourselves men who will respect and adore us as much as you do.

Thank you for caring about our happiness. Thank you for calling us on the phone and telling us that our happiness is your number one priority.

Thank you for forgiving us when we mess up.

Thank you for investing in your children, thank you for putting us first and you second, thank you for the time and money you spent on us all of your life, thank you for fulfilling our desires and granting our wishes.

Dad, we love you more than you can imagine.

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.
