"New Year, New Me"


Happy New Year friends! I decided I didn't wanna make resolution goals this year because everyone does that and I like to be different. So all I'm going to do is try to improve, and be better now than I was a few seconds ago, etc.Sometimes taking little things one step at a time is what we need to do.

 I'm not gonna lie, I am so fast paced. When it comes to doing things, I rarely slow down and take time to think about the little things that make the big things so important! When I do I am blessed! 

Last year I was skipping so many days for scripture reading, not because I dont like the Old Testament but because I felt like I had "so little time" to do it. Problem is, reading those scriptures is a huge step for me to become a missionary, teach my present/future family, and most of all constantly feed my spirit. Our spirits are starving without the knowledge of the scriptures!!! (Yes 🍕🌮🍦🍪🍩🧀 are pleasing to my PHYSICAL well being but not spiritually. 😊)

Encouraging and serving others is also a huge thing that I've been struggling with. Sure I can inspire people with my words (thank you to all those who text me and tell me I'm good at writing, read my English papers... You may think otherwise ;) ) But it's very rare I go out and give people a hug and tell them they're awesome. Or bake cookies for someone in the ward.. Its all because of the natural man/ woman inside of us telling us that we don't have time to do these simple and kind acts of service. Believe me, we DO have time! That's why God sent us! We can be an angel to someone who is struggling. 


Standing up for yourself is the last one I wanna talk about. It's so simple and you can do it wherever you are! I was at work last night and my manager was swearing like crazy and so was his music, and you know what I did? Absolutely nothing. This is to show you I'm really shy in front of the big dogs. It's not easy to be brave when you're the only Mormon at work that actively goes to church, tries not to swear, and doesn't drink. I'm not saying work is horrible, It's actually really fun and I get a long with the people there!!! I'm afraid to stand up for myself because I feel like their perspective of me will change negatively. But like everyone says "the biggest judge you will ever have is yourself." Not even God can be that harsh to you. He knows you perfectly and even though you aren't perfect he knows you're trying if you're making the effort. 
Well darn it, I guess I just did make a resolution for myself. Haha I am one of those people after all. 😊 
Keep trying, Keep being better.. Because it will make a difference in someone's life this year if you're being you. ❤️❤️❤️ you all, have a GREAT YEAR!

I'm almost there! (Or so I think)

Wow I'm such good blogger! I love reading what I have said in the past. Anyways lets get down to business! Graduation for me is coming up in a short 18 days! I can believe it because it feels like the time is so slow but its actually almost here. Can't wait for what life brings me after I graduate HS.  While being in High School I've learned this lesson: It is okay to not be okay all the time. I've cried way too much in High School and it's been an emotionally journey for me. Hormones are real. And so are girls attitudes.  I guess why I say this is because these past few months have been harder than when I lost my boyfriend, but they have been a lot easier to heal from. My favorite guard director left our team unexpectedly because they were dealing with a ton of crap in their life. I understood why they had to leave, but I was angry that they left without saying goodbye. I miss them so much. But I was able to move on from that trial only because I had faith th...

That's the last time you are telling me something I'm not.

Thanks to Facebook memories today I was able to reflect on my first band camp 6 years ago. Wow what a ride colorguard was. I guess why I start off by talking about my marching band experience is because it is really the only thing I kept up with throughout my high school career. I learned a lot, I got a lot of bruises, swollen bumps, and even a black eye! Crazy to think that people think it's easier to do marching band than football sometimes.  Anyways, as much as I loved competing and being a part of something breathtakingly beautiful... I was bullied in colorguard. Not by the students, but by my first colorguard director. I don't really remember what I did to deserve the disrespect of said director. Maybe I was being rude, sassy, selfish? I was a pretty annoying teenager. Going into my second year with the marching band, there were leadership opportunities for those people who marched at least one season the previous year. My best friend at the time was going to try out for...
