Dear Future Children

You, my children are what I've been waiting for my entire life.

You give me purpose when I feel as if I can no longer go on.

The thought of you not existing breaks my heart.

I can't wait to show you the world. Trips to the zoo in the middle of summer, melting into my shoes. Going camping in the woods and exploring nature. Teaching you to fish. Heck, I'm even excited to teach you to potty.

As your mother, I vow that you will be loved unconditionally. Nothing you could ever do will make me love you less. I may not agree with every decision you make, but none the less I will love you. You will always have a roof over your head, food in you belly, and love in your heart. I may make mistakes along the road, but just know mommy tried.

Always know that you are very special to me. As a young adult, mommy thought you weren't possible. I thought I would never experience the miracle of life. At 23 I found out that you were a possibility. From that day on you were all that I could think about.

I can assure you that mommy's life was made better by you.

As the child of a lady like me, you will learn respect, honor, and kindness. I hope to teach you to grow into humans who change the world. I want the best for you. I can't fathom the thought of you being a turd head. I can only hope you take what I give you and make it grow.

Your grandma and grandpa will spoil you rotten. They will give and give until mommy throws a fit. The will shower you in love and affection. They both have been patiently waiting on your arrival. They had plans for you before I had plans for myself. They have lived for the moment to hold you. They have been dreaming about hugging and kissing you. They have been loving you before you came along

You will have many aunts and uncles whom will die to be around you. You can never have too many people love you. They will also have a hand in spoiling you rotten and teaching you things. They will help you grow and flourish. They will love.

You will have cousins who will be more like siblings. You guys will run and play sand learn together. They will protect you from pain and heartache. They will show you things mommy can't teach and that's perfectly ok. Go ahead and run free in the yard and make up games to play. Enjoy being a kid while you can.

Mommy wants you to know that life would suck without you. You bring a twinkle to my eye. I can't wait for our adventures and our family meals. I can't wait to hold you and stare into those loving eyes. I can't wait to be your mom.

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.
