Mi Mami, A True Gem.

A unique gem that everyone in this world has.

Mi Mami, A True Gem.

A mother's love is something that can never be beaten or replaced. Something that is beautiful and unique. It's a blessing and a gift.

My mom is a true gem and I won't say that makes my mom better than all the mothers in the world, because it's not a competition, and why compare all the gems in the world when the only gem that matters is the one you have standing right in front of you? From my parents, I'm more like my mom - I'm very forgetful and loud, just like she is. I make things a big deal just like she does and I cook just like she does.


From loving me to spanking me, everything that my mom did was out of love and there's nothing that I can do in this world to ever thank her for it. When she lost her job she didn't dwell on it, she got back on her feet in search of a job whether it was cleaning, cooking, or babysitting, she did it. One thing about my mom is that she is not a person that lets people do things for her, she is more of the independent type of person.

My mom has such a strong will and a strong spirit that it keeps her going and it keeps her fighting. I truly don't know where she gets this kind of strength, and even if I did, there's a nine out of 10 chance I still would not understand it. How is it that a lady so small can fight so big? How can a Mexican woman with all odds against her continue to rise? How can a mother so kind and loving care for three troublesome kids? I don't know the answer, but she does.

I will never be able to do the great things that you do or live and understand the hardships that you went through to get to this moment. What I do know is that you're my mom, mi bebe and that's something that will never be taken away from me. I know you'll love us, love your family even after death and because of you there is not a force in the world that can mess with our family.

Te quiero mucho mami.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
