Dear Mom, Here's A Thank You Letter I Should Have Written To You Already

"A mother is the truest friend we have when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." - Washington Irving

Dear mom,

There aren't very many words that can truly describe or represent the meaning you have in my life. What can you honestly say to the person that has given you the world when you deserved it the least? You have picked me up at my lowest. You have kissed my bruises. You have prepared me for the world. You have taught me how to be a strong woman, but I don't think I can ever be as strong as you. You could carry the world on your shoulders without breaking a sweat.

You are every meaning of the word mother. You are comfort when I need it the most. You are my support when I feel that everything else is against me. You are instant healing when I am sick. You have all the answers to my problems. You are my role model and biggest inspiration. There are so many lessons that you have taught me. I can only hope to be half of the mother that you are sometime in my life.

You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen and, because of you, I have learned that beauty is not only skin deep. You have taught me that no boy is worth my tears unless they're from happiness and although I might be hurting in the moment, the pain in not permanent. You have given me motivation to conquer my trials. You have instilled upon me the comfort of knowing that I am never alone; you're only a phone call away.

I have been blessed with not only an amazing mother, but a best friend. You have never betrayed me. I can trust you with any secret that I may be carrying and you will hide it with a lock and key. We may argue and I might say things that I don't mean, but you have constant forgiveness. You have a joke when I need a laugh. You are a therapist when I need to get something off of my chest. You are my whole world wrapped up in one.

I feel like I could tell you I love you a million times and it would never be enough. No matter what I do, I will never be able to repay you for everything that you have done or given me in my life. Even though you have taught me to be strong, I don't think I will ever be strong enough to face the world without you.

Thank you for always being there for me and forgiving me when I didn't deserve it. Thank you for loving me unconditionally. Thank you for being my best friend.

I love you always,

Your daughter

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
