I’m sure many people don’t update their blogs because of lack of time or the lack of things to talk about. But that is definitely not my case. I’ve been wanting to write a million things, I just haven’t found the focus to my thoughts. My mind runs nearly 50 million miles a second and my thoughts are always random, so writing an entry becomes difficult. I’ll write a paragraph and delete it more times than I can count. BUT, I think I finally focused all my spastic and sporadic thoughts.
Two things come to mind lately. They are not related in anyway, but they’ve planted themselves in my brain every single day for weeks.
- Take risks with faith in the future.
- Thank those around you.
Life is scary. That pretty much sums it up right? Unfortunately, it keeps getting scarier from here on out. Those who know me, know I like security and routine. Everything in my life is scheduled and planned out. My planner holds my life to say the least and I can’t live one day without looking at it. I can’t pinpoint a time, but not that long ago, I woke up and realized that I need to take more risks and have faith. I tell people I have faith in the future. Little did I know that it’s easy to have faith in the future if you don’t take risks or make changes. Since that day, I’ve already taken steps toward a brighter path and I can’t wait to share everything when more of it unfolds. I hope others decide to take both of their feet off secure ground and see what happens. I encourage you to write down all that you want to accomplish and go after every single thing you put on those lines of paper.
The other thing on my mind, thanking the people that make my life worth living. Today I just feel lucky. I feel like I have been blessed with the most wonderful people even though I fall short in telling them that. I hope these people see this and realize how much I truly love them.
I think everyone should write something to those that they love and are forever indebted to because of the difference they have made in your life.
Family (Mom, Dad, Nicole, and Mason) I don’t think I could ever express my love for you guys. You are my rock and my foundation of the person that I am today. I think that I could be anywhere and still be happy as long as we’re all together. Mom, you’re one of the strongest women I’ve ever known and I look up to you so much for that. You’ve been my comfort lately and my best friend. I hope we can always remain close because I can’t imagine life without a mother like you. Dad, you know I think you’re crazy and I don’t understand your obesession with all the things that you do, but I still love you. I can’t thank you enough for making me tough, strong, and a hard worker. You’ve taught me to fight and to always be the best that I can be. You know Dad, I hope we can always be friends because I’m a daddy’s girl for life. Nicole, I miss you. Those words don’t even suffice, because you are my other half to say the least. We’re pretty much the same person in two bodies. Not to mention I’m in the bigger body 🙂 Hahah but you are the cuter one. You know how much I look up to you and strive to be like you in every single way. You are hands down the most beautiful person that I’ve ever met. I call you in tears half my life and you never fail to stay calm and give me the best advice possible. I love you big little sister, forever and ever. And Mason, you know I think you’re a stud and that you’re wonderful even when I act like I want to kill you. You’ve grown up to be one amazing young man. I’m so proud of you and grateful for the relationship that we’ve built. When you see me upset, you always make sure that I’m okay and you ask if I need anything. You’re the best little brother a girl could ask for and I promise I’ll always be here for you and protect you, just like you’ve done for me.
Sami Maw Thank you. I could say that a million times and that wouldn’t do justice. You are the perfect friend. You leave any situation, any place, anything, just to make sure I’m okay. You’ve slept at my house for the past three weeks. I don’t know any other friends that would do that for me. You’re a sister to me Sami Maw, and I love you with everything that I have. I think the world of you and I hope you know how beautiful and special you are. We’re going to take on life together and help each other through all the big decisions coming up. Plus, we’ll have fun and laugh along the way okay?
Morgan Anderson You’re amazing. I’m so blessed to have you in my life as such a strength. When I think of you, I think of such a strong and talented girl. How I’m going to live without you while you’re at BYU is beyond me. I’ll be calling you almost every day to talk about all the deep stuff that we enjoy talking about. Plus, I’ll be coming up to watch you and I’ll even cheer for you and the rest of the BYU team. Just don’t tell my sister okay? You’ve been by my side throughout high school. I’ve told you this a million times but you know I only made it through high school because of you. You helped brighten all my days and helped me push myself to be better. You’re the ultimate example and friend. I love you Morgan.
Garret Brent This entry has been changed. It said something so different before this. We weren’t together when I wrote it, but now that we are… I’m happy to put other things in here. So I should probably start off by saying that I’m grateful to be your girlfriend. This past year has been pretty wonderful if you ask me. From you coming to state tennis, going to Kalamity show after Kalamity show, going to Derin and Lisa’s with me, and just all the time we’ve spent watching movies, I’ve loved every second of it. I have so much fun with you no matter the occasion. I’d still have to say that getting lost in Salt Lake with you was my absolute favorite. I wouldn’t even be mad if it happened again someday so we can laugh so hard until our bellies hurt. Those are always my favorite; those times we both laugh uncontrollably together. And another thing, I know I need to thank you for supporting me in everything that I do. I don’t think there has been many, if any, Kalamity performances that you haven’t been to. I love that about you. I’m a lucky girl to have someone always at my side helping me every day. And yes, I know that I cry a million tears and I can create a flood in a matter of minutes, but you’re the sweetest guy in the world and put up with me.You’re my best friend and that’ll never change. I have no idea what the future has in store for us, but you should know…I love you Garret Brent, always.
Kalamity & Vault Family You’re the best thing to happen to me and that’s an understatement. It’s hard for me to put into words how much my life has changed because of everyone at that studio. Whether its my sisters and two brothers on Kalamity, the wonderful girls on Kaos, or all the other smiling faces at class next to me, EVERYONE has made a difference. It’s like walking into a piece of heaven or a home. I love it there and saying thank you isn’t nearly enough. Tia Stokes, you’ve created something amazing and you change lives with your talent and passion. This is the reason why I live happy. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you all for making my life beautiful.
That’s all my randomness collided and crammed into one blog entry. Smile today okay?
