No endings...
I'm listening to Colors right now..(hehe so great!!) and thinking about my friends from high school and how much I love them and miss them and miss being able to drive to their houses and be with them whenever I wanted. And someday I'll feel the same way about my friends here in Boston. But (as I looked nostalgically out my city window) I know that life is eternal and that we're all brothers and sisters. And really, there's no such thing as goodbye forever. Even the people we have huge falling outs or break ups or it's just not right for us to be friends right now- SOMEDAY all that will smooth itself out and we'll all be perfectly loving and happy and have the capacity to be infinitely close to an infinite amount of spirits- and this is the phrase that comes to mind:
There are no beginnings and no ends- only seasons.
I had a season of high school friends, I have a season of Boston friends, I'll have seasons for the rest of my life... and when this one's over I'll have more. And every spirit matters, and someday I'll be able to combine those "seasons of love" and that's why it's called heaven. Relationships are the most important and joyous thing we have- sigh. I love you.

Funny pictures
I found this fabulous picture in my iphoto. I've never been there for any of my nieces or nephews births, and my family always sends me pictures. This is the only picture they sent me when my last niece Kinzley was born a little over a year ago. I love Eric's face and how scowly Kinzley is hahaha. I love you guys a million billion zillion!

Keep it up!
SO I took some pictures of my laptop a while ago, with every intention blogging this story.
When I got back to school after Christmas break, I was on my way out of a slump that I'd been going through the semester before. Not just any slump- a really tuffy. Anyway, one day I was feeling particularly discouraged and I was on my computer and I shut it really quickly to go do some other things. And when I shut it I looked down at the colored stickers on the back
The stickers were put there by my niece, Sarah, while I was home for Christmas (She's inappropriately cute)
As I looked at the stickers I got so happy! One in particular stuck out to me
I felt so loved and all the things I was worrying about seemed so stupid and petty. I'm so grateful for family. I'm going to miss them this summer :(. But they are always in my heart. And I know that Heavenly Father sends us children to remind us what is important, and that He loves us and wants us to Keep Doing Our Best, and to enjoy every minute of life. Everything is going to work out- because He's in charge. Sigh* what a relief.

Always...
Never let your education of something stop you from actually doing it.
Never let the knowledge that someone else could do it better stop you from creating.
Never let someone's opinion of your work stop you from trying again.
Never give Satan a vote for your self esteem.
Never forget to give God the credit He deserves.
Never be less than what know you are.
Always do your best, no matter what.

So i think it's art....
The question remains, whether or not you think it's good or means anything to you. What do YOU think?

Copy and paste that link and try to be patient with this video. Instead of discarding it as crap before the first two minutes are over, see if you can find anything meaningful in it. Post your response- no matter what it is ;). I'm excited

College student OCD.
I was thinking about thinking
And how things fit
And how we all accomplish "it"
And "it" is so important that the thinking happens first
and then I make a plan for when and where
and cast on "it" quite scheduled care
And think about the thought out plan
And when the time comes to execute
I'm all thought out and frankly, pooped.
I have a whole new "it" in mind,
I'm thinking of and making time
to get "it" in the other "its"
and making sure that each "it" fits.
Each colored bubble has it's time
and place
and shade
and journal,
thank you note,
parade!
Then finally when my planning's done
I've missed the "its"
Every single one.
Which gets me thinking...
