Those We Love

It's so hard to see those we love doing something we know isn't right or isn't good for them. You just want to sit them down and try and tell them in the most impartial way that what they are doing isn't right. It's hard because you know that they are happy now and their life feels good now, but you also know it will make it harder later. It's hard because you know they might think that you are being judgmental or that you have selfish motivations, but you really don't. You would even trade ever seeing or talking to them again for it if nessicary. It's hard because you just want them to be happy, but you want them to do what's right. It's also hard, because they don't think that what they are doing is going to make it harder or that what they are doing isn't right. It's hard because you love them so very much. Well loved ones, if you won't listen to me then listen to the Lord. Listen to his prophets. Pray and fast. If y...

Plans

"The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray." (Okay so I know that this is technically misquoted, but this is how everyone knows it.) Lately it seems that all of my plans are falling through. Big one like becoming a veterinarian, but small ones too. For the past three Saturdays Kendall and I have been planning to go hiking up a canyon in Lindon (I think). Every week I get my hopes up that it will happen and every week my hopes are dashed. The first week Kendall and I were going to hike the canyon then attend the Greek Festival in Salt Lake City. He backed out on the whole day then spent a large amount of hours with another friend. The second week we had planned to go hiking then make dinner together. Kendall came and proclaimed that he was to tired. We watched TV until dinner time ate dinner then he left early to spend time with other friends. And finally this Saturday I wasn't even going to try. I was going to go hiking with some friends up the Y inste...

Best Friend

What is a best friend. To me a best friend is a friend who knows everything about you and still loves you. They will always be there when you need them no matter what they are doing or where they are. They trust you and you trust them. When you have a tough decision to make in your life you call them for their advice just as they come to you. When you are sad or discouraged you to go to them because you know that they are the ones who can help lift your spirits. A best friend is sincerely interested in your life and what's going on and how you feel. Whenever anything exciting, sad, funny, or whatever happens you want to call them first and tell them. Just being around them doing nothing makes you happy. They hate to see you hurt and will do what they can to prevent it. If they could they would give you everything without batting an eye because they care so much for you. They are the person that loves you for the very things that make you feel awkward around others. They...

Tee hee...

I found this gem on my Drea-Bee's blog. And yes I edited it a bit to make it more Utah reader friendly. Oh and the ones in bold are the ones I commonly think. TOP THOUGHTS FROM PEOPLE IN THEIR 20's and 30's: 1. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option. 2. More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me. 3 . Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. 4. I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter? 5. Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 ...

Stories

Whenever I am talking to someone I care about I always try to ask about their day and what they've filled it with. It's not that I'm trying to stalk them or be nosy and such, I just like to hear stories. When I ask, "So, what did you do today?" I want to see life through their eyes for a bit. I want to hear a story that will show me what it's like to be them for a day. In addition to hearing stories I love to tell stories. Whether it's about what I learned in class or what I ate for lunch, I love to show people my life. The only problem is that I feel people don't want to see my life. When I try to tell my stories I feel like those I'm talking to are bored or see me as conceited. People don't seem to care enough to ask me what I've done that day or to ask me how work or class was. Granted some may have asked me in the past and I may have replied with an, "Eh, it was good." Sometimes there is no story to share, but more ...

One more...

I've been alone so many nights now, And I've been waitin' for the stars to fall. I keep holdin' out for what I don't know To be with you, just to be with you. So here I am staring at the moon tonight, Wondering how you look in this light. Maybe you're somewhere thinkin' about me too. To be with you, there's nothing I wouldn't do. And I can't imagine two worlds spinnin' apart Come together eventually.. And when we finally meet, I'll know it's right. I'll be at the end of my restless road. But this journey, it was worth the fight. To be with you, just to be... Holding you for the very first time, never letting go. What I wouldn't give to feel that way... Oh... Oh, to be with you... Oh, and I can't imagine two worlds spinnin' apart Come together eventually. And when you're standin' here in front of me, That's when I know that God does exist. 'Cause He will have answered every single prayer. To be with you,...

Songs I listened to today that made me feel stuff...

How does she know you love her? How does she know she's yours? How does she know that you love her? How do you show her you love her? How does she know that you really, really, truely love her? How does she know that you love her? How do you show her you love her? How does she know that you really, really, truely love her? It's not enough to take the one you love for granted You must remind her, or she'll be inclined to say... "How do I know he loves me?" (How does she know that you love her? How do you show her you love her?) "How do I know he's mine?" (How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?) Well does he leave a little note to tell you you are on his mind? Send you yellow flowers when the sky is grey? Heyy! He'll find a new way to show you, a little bit everyday That's how you know, that's how you know! He's your love... You've got to show her you need her Don't treat her like a mind reader Each day do ...
