This Crazy Thing We Call Life!

I just want a gentleman. Someone to sweep in and knock me off my feet. To come in and be my very best friend. To love me for my quirks and my bad habits and my faults, as well as my admirable qualities. I want someone who will laugh at my jokes even when they aren't that funny. Someone who will tease me but never take it too far. Someone who will hold me when I cry during movies. And who will hold me when I cry during hard times. I want someone who will sing along to the radio with me. Who will go on drives with me and let me crank the music up and roll the windows down. Someone who appreciates me. Who treats me right. Who fits in with my family and loves them as their own. I want someone my brothers can look up too. Someone my sisters feel comfortable with. Someone who respects my father and appreciates my mother just simply because they are where I came from. I want someone who has a testimony of the Savior. Someone who believes in Jesus Christ and will raise our children to do s

To steal a line from my favorite show of all time Grey's Anatomy, "People are what matters." Judge me all you want for loving that show, I don't really care. Meredith Grey is a character I dind myself relating to at times and I love it. As lame as it may be, there are so many important lessons that I have learned from Grey's and this is one of them. "People are what matters." I have some pretty great people in my life.  All of a sudden though, I feel like everyone is doing their own amazing thing, and I am once again getting left behind. Sitting on the sidelines. Cheering them on. Waiting for my turn to be put in the game. SO happy for them, but tired of being left alone.

And she had zero motivation to do anything besides be an adventurer. She had thoughts in her head that she wanted to say to people, that she probably never would, and it's fine because some of them should definitely stay in her head..
