Thanks To My 'Cheerleaders'

You have no idea the impact you have on my life.

Thanks To My 'Cheerleaders'
Fiona McGrath Nagle

This one is for those who are always there for me. The ones that choose to be my supporters and cheerleaders. The ones that put a smile on my face whenever I see or think about them. The ones that I cry about when I have not seen them in forever and I miss so much. Most of them probably have no idea what kind of impact on my life they have. *Side note: I'm definitely going to cry while I write this.

Thanks to best cheerleaders in the world. Thanks for always being there for me whenever I needed someone to talk to. You always know what to say or do. Even if you have no idea what to say you always comfort me somehow.

*cue the waterworks now*

Thank you for...

...giving me a hug on my last day of high school while whispering in my ear "this isn't goodbye, we'll stay in contact." I thank you very much!

...being there to rub my back when I couldn't stop crying during homecoming week my senior year when my Poppop died. I thank you very much!

...reassuring me when I didn't get into the program at my dream school. That it was OK and had no real reflection on how good I am at what I want to do with the rest of my life. I thank you very much!

...being there after my last "Nutcracker" performance to make sure I was doing OK. Letting me know you were thinking about how I must have been feeling it being my last "Nutcracker," since you had felt similar feelings the year before. The big hug you gave me stays with me till this day. And I thank you very much!

...just being there for me every day before school to hang out with. To talk to about what going on in my life. You didn't even have to respond to what I was saying; I just needed someone to listen. I thank you very much!

...always having a smile on your face. It always makes my day. Your smile especially helps when I've been having a not so good day. And I thank you very much for it!

....saying hello or waving hi to me. Just like smiling and saying hello or waving hi always makes my day. They can help not so good days become a little bit better. I thank you very much!

...calming me down about finals because I had worried myself sick. Your words of encouragement seriously helped me realize that I could do it, and there wasn't really anything I needed to worry about. And thank you very much!

...being the silent cheerleader. You might have never done anything for me, but you have always been there waiting on the "sidelines" in case I needed you. I thank you very much!

...always being excited when you see me. Even if it's only been a day or two to it being weeks since the last time we saw each other, your always excited to see me. Which makes me feel great knowing someone's always happy to see me. I thank you very much!

Those are just a few things that I am thankful for. It's really hard to express all my words of thanks when you all mean so much to me. Honestly words can't even begin to explain how thankful I am for you to have all been a part of my life in some way or another. I'm just extremely thankful for you being you and for you always being here for me whenever I needed you!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

The person you're always there for

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.
