You know you're from Marion or Mullins when...

"How's your momma and them?" is a real question asked multiple times on a daily basis. And we are genuinely concerned about how your mother is.

The only traffic jam you experienced driving to school/work in the morning is a tractor slowing everyone up (or the train if you live in Mullins).

You know everyone you will graduate/graduated with (and still do if you're an adult living here).

You know where to find the best strawberries around.

Your best friend's dad owns the local restaurant, just ran for an office, and served as the President of the school board once or twice.

Your other best friend's mom was your favorite teacher in elementary school, and it's not weird that you spend every weekend at your teacher's house.

You get asked where you're from whenever you leave town because of that thick accent you "supposedly" have.

The tobacco leaf is your favorite flower.

You probably know the man that owns the produce stand on 76.

When explaining to people where you live, "In between Florence and Myrtle Beach" is your best option. Literally no one knows where we are, even people from South Carolina.

The Little Pee Dee River (shout out to Fork Retch) is the source of entertainment during the warm months.

If you took dance, you took it from Mrs. Emmalyn.

Your mama fixes supper with fresh vegetables you picked from the garden about an hour ago.

Everyone knows everyone and what car they drive and what church they go to and what they did last weekend (and probably what they're doing next weekend).

Fred's truly has the best fried chicken.

The Spanish moss is so beautiful on Main Street in Marion.

You wouldn't trade this quaint little small town or the wonderful people in it for the world.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.
