And it feels nice.

It feels like my life is finally working out.
I don't know what's changed.
Maybe nothing.
But even though I don't understand my math homework
and I need to clean my room
I am quite simply
happy.

I love my violin.
Switching teachers far and away the best thing I've done for my playing.
I love it. A lot.
Today during school, I found myself wishing I was at home practicing.
How unusual.

A question that's been sitting in the back of my mind, quietly,
for a long time has finally been answered.
That makes me happy, too.

I've been happier with myself.
More confident, content.

"Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord God am with you, and will stand by you." -D&C 68:6

The life is good.

Guess what?

Maybe it's not the end of the world. Maybe everything will turn out fine. Maybe having my Heavenly Father and my family and my friends there for me will help me. Maybe if I take a step away from everything and look at the forest instead of the trees, I'm doing just perfectly. Maybe other people would love to be in my shoes right now and I'm just being ridiculous. 

Sing in the school hallways. Play badminton with all your heart, mind and soul. Love everyone. Run barefoot. Play your violin. Share your gum. Draw the negative spaces. Text a friend. Step out of your comfort zone. Order pizza. Speak Spanish. Sleep in. Listen to Justin Bieber. Love life. 

Makes me happy:)

1. This video. It is so cute and adorable and perfect and wonderful and lovely and it comes from this here wonderful blog.

2. Phineas and Ferb. As always. "Aren't you a little old to be watching Phineas and Ferb?" "Why yes, yes I am."

3. Journaling. Sometimes the only person I can tell the really important/embarrassing/depressing/crazy things to isn't a person at all.

4. Julian Smith. He's genius.

5. Florida. I wanna be there sooo bad. And there is a slight chance that I may be there sometime next spring. Maybe.

Because it's August.

"Summer is when the girls go barefoot and their hearts are as free as their toes."

Because it's summer.

Because the canyon is gorgeous.

Because I was bored.

Because I kidnapped my mother's camera.

Because I never even got dressed today.

Because I wanted to.

Because I'm happy.

...and yes, that is a Miley Cyrus concert t-shirt...don't judge. :)

Love yourself; it's brilliant

You are not ugly, you are pretty. You are not stupid, you are smart. You are not mean, you are kind. You are not an alien, you are human. You are not fat, you are thin. You are not hated, you are loved. You are not a loser, you are cool. You are not a freak, you are unique. You are not a loner, you are popular. You are not poor, you are rich. You are not forgotten, you are remembered. You are not alone, you have friends. You are amazing.

Well that's awesome:)

Hey.

Today is awesome!

Which is wierd, on account of:

I haven't brushed my hair, gotten dressed, put on makeup, left my house, or anything of the sort.

But I still feel

pretty and awesome and cool and happy. :)

That's really random, I know.

But it's just awesome!

Seriously, right now it's 4:48 p.m., and I haven't done ANYTHING, but I'm feelin' cool.

It's great. This is really the first day I've been home in like the last 2 weeks, and I'm leavin again tomorrow for the week, so I'd say I deserve a lazy day.

Well, um, that's it I guess. Have a nice day!
