Querida, Mami

A letter to the most incredible woman in my life and my biggest supporter.

Querida, Mami

Querida Mami,

¡Hola! Te extraño mucho. Yo sé que no voy a verte hasta las vacaciones de primavera. Por eso, quiero decirte algunas cosas de que ha estado pensando.

Oh, Mami, te quiero mucho. En esta vida, el amor de una madre es el más potente y poderoso en el mundo. Lo siento antes de dormirme en mi cama doscientas millas lejos. Lo siento cuando releo tus cartas que guardo en una caja especial. Lo siento cuando me llamas a las ocho de la mañana simplemente para escuchar mi voz. Y lo siento cuando me mandas cajas de pañuelos porque me quedó sin ellas.

Estar en universidad es muy difícil. No puedo regresar a mi casa después de un día duro para comer tu arroz y habitúelas fantástica (los cocineros aquí son horribles en comparación con tus habilidades). No puedo hablar contigo cada vez que quiero porque puedes estar durmiendo (me duermo más tarde que cuando estoy en casa) o porque estás trabajando. No puedo jugar con mis hermanos, cocinar para ti, ni ver nuestras películas favoritas juntas no más. No más “Girl-Time.”

Pero, hay algunos beneficios de mi experiencia aquí en universidad. Puedo mejorar mi español así puedo comunicar contigo y tu familia en otra manera. Puedo lavar mi ropa sucia sin ayuda. Puedo discutir mi futura en términos de careras que es una mejora en mi atención profesional. Mi perspectiva positiva en la vida es el producto de tu apoyo eterno.

Soy tan afortunada para ser tu hija. Has roto techos de cristal, probado tu inteligencia, y conquistado enfermedad crónica. Si heredo un poquito de tu inteligencia, poder, y confianza en tus habilidades, tengo muchas ganas del futuro como una mujer capaz y fuerte. Mami, no podía hacer nada sin tu consejo y apoyo en mi vida. Gracias por todo que haces para mí. ¡Te quiero muchísimo!

Hasta las vacaciones,

Tu hija y tu mayor fan

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
