today i was thinking about my friendships throughout my life and how each one has given me something special and helped me along the way. I really tried not to miss anyone as i went chronologically, but its very likely. thank you for your friendship.

today was a magnificent, beautiful sunny day. i thoroughly enjoyed it.

second guessing second chances
reading too much into glances
all the lefts I could right
will never ever change that night
lend an ear to my plight
im loosing ground in this fight
the path of least resistance is resisting me
in spite of open arms I long to run and flee
...set me free
beating, fleeing, so deceiving
that heart of mine is unbelieving
its far beyond your detection
hidden beneath my introspection......

Friendship

Thank you Kendel for being my friend when i needed it. thank you for listening. thank you for speaking. True friendship comes natural and whenever you are in each others presence you are fortified, strengthened, and blessed.
Thank you Tawny. words cant even begin to express my gratitude for your friendship and what you've done for me and what you've helped me become.

Three words: Mary Ellen Edmunds
wow there are three women in the world that are my ultimate examples/heroes and Mary Ellen/Mellon/Mee is definitely one of them. She is the funniest happiest most gracious, strongest, most spiritual, most remarkable woman. I am so lucky to know her and she made my valentines day the greatest most unforgettable valentines day ever. i love her. i am so grateful for her. if you dont know who she is, not only is she an excellent writer and speaker but she has been on the relief society general board and she has served like 8 missions and is extremely involved in teaching at the mtc. i love her so much and words cannot express how glad i am to have her in my life.

this cant be love. it hurts too much

Jewel had it right. THESE FOOLISH GAMES!!!

who told my heart and my brain to stop communicating with me?

something good. something great. not sure if i trust it. i want it. i want it the right way. not sure if i deserve it. is it real? too scared to find out. but i need to know.

...this made sense to me.

In my humanities class we were supposed to think of our favorite work of art. After a while I realized that one of my favorite pieces is "A veiled Vestal Virgin" by Raffaelle Monti. This sculpture is extremely beautiful and the craftsmanship never ceases to amaze and inspire me.
