Today, Tomorrow, But Not Yesterday.

Have you ever noticed that when something goes wrong in your life, or hasn't gone according to plan, the people who surround you and care about you, all try to give a little piece of advice?
And they aren't just doing it out of pity, or because they feel obligated to, but it's real. They truly want you to feel better. And each little piece is unique because it came from an experience that they once had and from something that they once learned. It's like getting all the "good" from these past experiences, without feeling all the "bad". This last week has been full of sit-down talks, paragraph texts, long hugs, and encouraging smiles :). At first, I just wanted everybody to leave me alone.. And I felt annoyed that everyone was "up in my business". Ha. The last thing I wanted to be doing was talking about what had happened, and why it happened, and how I felt. BUT, as of late, these people have made me realize more than I ever would have been able to realize on my own. My eyes have been opened, and now my face is set towards the future instead of constantly looking behind me. The past can be a good place to visit sometimes, but it is no place to stay. Because life moves forward with or without you. 
Today, 
I finally feel ready to move forward. 
And I'll say this…

It feels amazing.

Time For Some Adjustments

Image
For the last year, I have been more than ready to be on my own. You know, the "I'm sick of being at home and I want to make my own freakin rules" type of thinking. Well, here I am, in my corner of the apartment, living just thirty-five minutes from South Jordan and the house I love to call my true home. There's nothing wrong with Provo, UT, but I find myself feeling like I am just on a little vacation. Like there's no possible way that this is my new home. It's as if Room 202 is a stranger and I am stuck sitting next to it on the city bus. But it's ok because I know that after the next few stops I'll be getting off and won't have to see this stranger or feel the awkward, silent tension between us ever again. But nope. Haha! For the next year, this place, this apartment, this room, is my new home. Now, of course I know it's just going to take some getting use to and some unwanted adjustments, but right now, the silence is killing...

Some Sort of Person

Some sort of person you are. Spending moments with you seems unfair to everyone else. But in those moments, I don't care to be so selfish. I'd take all of your time if I could. I feel as though you stand above me and pull the strings attached to the corners of my mouth. You are, after all, the reason for my smile. Smiling has never been so easy, effortless, and simple.  I wonder sometimes if you know how often the words "I love you" come into my mind. I don't say it every time. I don't want you to know that I actually do love. you. more. It's weird...feeling like this. Some sort of person you are.

Ooey Gooey Words

In this lifetime.. Goodbyes and heartbreak are almost inevitable. There's a beginning and there's an end. A point when everything you've known becomes everything you knew. And still, at the height of it all, it doesn't matter. Because there's no better feeling than being with someone who knows you and accepts you. Even for just a short while. That person becomes your other half - your reason for happiness. And it feels good because it just does. Because love makes us feel that way. That way that's indescribable. You don't think about the end because it seems too far away. And you don't think about the end because we're too young to be sad. But sometimes it just comes. The end of just a beginning. And for a moment, you wait. For somebody to shake you awake, and realize that you were only dreaming. Standing there numb, waiting as long as possible, until you realize nobody is coming to end this thing that feels like a nightmare. And so you run to the o...
