My Ex's Mom Was A Blessing

Thank you, you were my rock.

My Ex's Mom Was A Blessing
Jenna Jones

To my ex’s mom,

I have to say the worst part about this relationship ending is I’m not just losing him, but I’m also losing you. Even though things are over now, I know I owe you a thank you, in the beginning you didn’t know much about me, but you still welcomed me into your home with open arms.

Right from the start you made me feel like a part of your family and I will forever be grateful for that. Meeting you was truly a blessing. You are one of a kind and a truly amazing woman. The memories I shared with your family will forever remain in my heart, from helping you with thanksgiving dinner (and you never judging me for going back for seconds and even thirds), to our shopping trips and even just sitting around the couch playing Uno.

I wouldn’t change a single thing.

Your house always felt like a second home to me and I enjoyed every minute spent there. I hope one day if I have a son, I can show his girlfriend the same love and acceptance you showed me. I know your son and I could not make things work and every part of me hates that. I loved your son with every bit of my heart, and part of me always will. I still wish the best for him in his life even if it doesn’t include me. You really raised some amazing boys.

I thank God for bringing your son into my life because if it weren’t for him I would have never met you. You are truly an inspiration and just an all-around great woman and I’m thankful I got to have you in my life for the time I did. More than anything I want to thank you for accepting me for who I was, I felt like I could be myself around your family and that’s the thing I loved the most.

No one knows what the future holds so as hard as it is I have to say my goodbye for now. Once again, I want to thank you for everything, the time you spent with me, the love you showed me, and allowing me to be a part of your amazing family. Love you always.

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.
