Something Serious

Tonight I want to talk about something serious. Something I have found highly prevalent in my life these days. I have found that my emotions are so tightly tied to others. Which I am not too fond of.

But here's the deal. It is not connected in the sense of me caring what people think of me or wanting the approval of others, that is not it at all. As a teenage girl obviously I have had my share of insecurities, don't get me wrong, but now it is different.

Emotionally, I get truly invested in everything around me. My emotions run deep and I feel everything deep down to my core.

And often times, especially lately it seems, I look at this as maybe a downfall. I am too invested, I care too much, it's too exhausting. But today I had the thought, (and maybe this is totally wrong) but Our Savior, Jesus Christ was truly devoted, and gave everything. He loved deeply and truly and because of that love I am blessed beyond measure.

From the very beginning He was all in. Our Savior, Jesus Christ, was completely devoted from the moment He stood up and said "Pick me, I will go."

I am not saying I am the same as the Savior because that is not true, but it makes me feel a little less silly when I get teary eyed listening to a loved one talk about her upcoming wedding, or when my heart breaks helping a hurt little brother. There is a reason I feel so deeply, and I will be blessed because of it.

I Know I Have Dreams

It's been a while since I have written anything on here. And I know it's been a while. I know that the last few weeks have been crazy, and that that is part of it. But I also know that I have sat down to write here more times than I would care to admit. I know that I have a million thoughts running around in my head. I know that I want to figure out how to let the words out and have them make sense. I know I have all these ideas about what I want to do with my life, what I want to accomplish, and who I want to become, and yet I lack the knowledge of how to get there. I know I have dreams. I know I want to be somebody that people can look up too someday. I know what I love. I know I have to make choices. I know that I ramble. A lot. I know a lot of things. Maybe I will talk about everything. Maybe I will save a post or two for another day. I know that this post is going to be long.  I know that this post may be very varied when it comes to topics. I know that n...

How True This Is

I Resolve To Continue

This is the time of year when we evaluate our lives. We look at the last 364 days and ponder on our struggles and our triumphs. We look at the person we have become over the last 12 months and we plan to do better in the coming 12. This is the time of year we are dedicated to making a change, and as I sit here thinking back to this time exactly 365 days ago, I am astounded at how far I have come. Almost ashamed of the person I was then and truly proud of the person I am now. For one of the first times in my life I can say that I can see myself becoming the person I want to become. In the last year I have felt sorrow and defeat and loneliness. I have faced struggles and heartache and frustrations. But I have also felt peace. I have felt joy and happiness and love. I set goals and I achieved them. I have had experiences that have taught me so many valuable lessons, and I have met people who have changed me forever. And I am so grateful. And so as we finish out this awfully beautiful year...
