For My Mother

When I was born, I didn't know how lucky I was. I was born with a family that loved me and wanted me. But I was also born with a mother who would give everything and anything for me, and she did. It took me a long time to realize how lucky I really am because of my mother, but now that I realize it, I'm a million times more grateful. Sure, there have been times where we are at each other's throats. Regardless of the fighting, she's my mother and I'll always love her. I don't tell her enough, so I thought I would put together a list of quotes by influential people that apply to her as well. This is for my mother.

"All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother." -Abraham Lincoln

"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

"I realized when you look at your mother, you are looking at the purest love you will ever know." -Mitch Albom

"Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunghill of a world, a mother's love is not." -Jame Joyce

"A mother's arms are more comforting than anyone else's." -Princess Diana

"My mother is my root, my foundation. She planted the seed that I base my life on, and that is the belief that the ability to achieve starts in mind." - Michael Jordan

"She raised us with humor, and she raised us to understand that not everything is going to be great - but how to laugh through it." -Liza Minnelli

"My mother is a walking miracle." -Leonardo DiCaprio

"Acceptance, tolerance, bravery, compassion. These are the things my mother taught me." -Lady Gaga

"My mom is my hero. She inspired me to dream when I was a kid, so anytime anyone inspires you to dream, that's gotta be your hero." -Tim McGraw

"My mom is the greatest mom in the whole wide world. She's done everything for me to make my dreams come true." -Josh Hutcherson

"My mother is everything to me. She's my anchor, she's the person I go to when I need to talk to someone. She is an amazing woman." -Demi Lovato

"I always speak so highly of my mom because she's my partner in crime, and none of this would be possible without her love and support. Always have to make time for Mom." -Shemar Moore

There are so many more quotes that I saw that describe my mother and how I feel about her. My mother is the one person I know that will always love me, no matter how stubborn or irritating I am. She's is the most supportive person in my life and I am where I am today because of her love an guidance. I can only hope to be half the woman my mother is. I have so much admiration and appreciation for her. I love you, Momma.

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.
