I've been trying lately to think of important things I want to blog about. If you know me, you know my mind is never on one subject for long. This causes me to have things I want to blog about, and then forget them. Here are the few things I have remembered.

The world is full of magic, you just have to believe in it. Make a wish and place it deep within your heart. Believe in it, hope for it, want it, and maybe one day you'll receive the thing you've been wishing for. Hearts break, hearts heal, and hearts love all around the world. One love, one hope, one faith, one joy, keeps us believing. Torn and shattered, broken and lost, the damage that has been done is now scarred on the most inner place in your heart. Forgiveness in others and in yourself is so hard to do, but even still, easy to believe in. You may reach that day where you start to question your faith and your desire to love. NEVER lose the desire to love, even when it seems impossible. Let your character, spirit, sensibility, and honor, lead you through your life. Giving up on love is easy. Giving into your heart, and learning to love is the hard part. Gain knowledge from your mistakes and learn from them. Think of your wish. Got it? Good, now believe in it with all you have, and your whole heart..

102 Days.

Well Folks, it's been exactly 102 days since my car left home and headed out west. Each day that I'm away from home I discover more about myself, my relationships, and my Heavenly Father. It's hard to place a time or a date to your life changing especially when it happens over a period of time and through many hard lessons. Now more than ever I realize the importance of relying on my Heavenly Father in all times, in all things, and in all places. I have such a testimony of the love my Savior gives me. He is my constant companion and he is my everything. At times things can get dark and things can get lonely. During these moments of trial we too often forget our divine worth. We were all sent here with a unique and special plan. We were destined for greatness and we were destined to allow ourselves to achieve that divine potential. I have learned to never give up on my Savior, because when I don't give up on him I don't give up on myself. These past 102 days have...

Dearest Utah

My dear sweet Utah, What an amazing three weeks you've given me. You always will be my home away from home and I will always be grateful for my summers spent with you. Utah, you teach me a lot every single time I'm with you, and this year you've given me much to be thankful for. You have taught me that family is never that far away. You have taught me that life in itself gives great challenges, but those challenges make me stronger. You have taught me that one of my most favorite things is seeing my grandparents hold hands while walking together. You have taught me that the mountains are the most beautiful place in the world. You have taught me that the stars are so much brighter when you are actually looking for them. You have taught me how much I am blessed to have such amazing friends back home. You have taught me that it's okay not to look your best every day. You have taught me that Law & Order: SVU is a slight addiction shared by my cousins and myself. You ha...

Be strong and of a good courage

Today as I was referred to as a teacher by an underclassmen I realized how fast my life is flying by. It's like one day I was learning to tie my shoes and then all the sudden I'm almost a legal adult. I admit, I have not been the happiest camper lately, and honestly I have no good reason why. I found myself getting lost in the negative when I should have just looked around and seen the beauty in the world around me. I know I was put on this earth for a purpose. God knows what he's doing. I may not know how to solve a pre -calculus problem, I may not be good at any sport, I may not have the greatest eyes or the best body, but I am content with the way I am. I have a true heart and a sincere love for all the people I meet. I can make you laugh, even if I'm not feeling great. I can sing the "If you chance to meet a frown, do not let it stay. Quickly turn it upside down and smile that frown away. No one likes a frowny face, change it for a smile. Make the world a bet...
