Mom, Thank You: I Mean It

Mom, I am sorry. I love you. You know that.

I always want the best for you, as you do for me. Even though we fight constantly, we tend to forget what it was about anyways. You call me, I say “what now?"

You simply just worry, I get that now. You don't have to be afraid; afraid that I'm going insane. You don't have to worry because you know it rubs off on me and then starts the blame. I just want you to know that I love you each and every day.

I will make sure that I will establish balance. The balance meaning I will be with you half instead of full. The other half is where I prove to myself that my mind is not dull.

Thank you. You're not just a mother. You're the most real thing I have. I'm sorry for being sorry, but I just had to tell you that. You're my best friend that I can never escape from. It's whatever you say that I speak with. It's whatever you say that I don't sleep enough. Surprisingly enough, it's everything a daughter could dream of.

You are strong. You are never wrong. You ask me what, who, and why. Then, we have a couple of cries. I know that. I just know, I will never make you sad. I will try my best to not close the door when I am mad. Instead, I will go and make you glad.

Glad as you wake me on a Sunday and smile. When you worry and call me, I feel your pain. Because I really can't blame you on all the times I thought you were insane. I know, now, that we will always laugh about it the next day. Glad we are on the same page.

Love you always.

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.

ORHS Graduation

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:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". 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.
