Oh joy

I always thought "bed bugs" were a myth. Turns out they aren't. They are real things, that can really happen.

TSWIFT

Yes, I dislike her. But I so LOVE this song. And, I have been maybe possibly listening to it on repeat for the last half hour... Yeah... Most people find it really stupid, but it just puts the point across. WE are never ever getting back together. Great point. Just sayin.

Monday

Mondays are so monotonous. I really am not a fan of them. But, there is definitely some good in every day. The key is just to finding it. Sometimes it is harder than other times, but it is worth finding.
Also, music is the best thing. Emotions that can't seem to be expressed any other way, are expressed perfectly with music. There is a song to express every feeling.

Love and Theft

I have an addiction to the band Love and Theft. They are amazing. Last week I bought both of their CD's. Here are a few snippets of their tunes.

Yes. I did just post about a billion of their songs. But. I just love them. So much.
Also, he is another song, which isn't love and theft..

Blog stalking

I have this lovely app on my phone, that lets me read blogs that I follow. Best app. Whenever I am sitting somewhere, with nothing to do, I always read away. Like while waiting for the bus. Anyways, today while I was eating lunch, I came across this blog post. It is incredible, and I think everyone needs to hear/read it.
Because you already are lovable.
Read away!

Eyes on the prize

“Don't you quit. You keep walking, you keep trying, there is help and happiness ahead. Some blessings come soon. Some come late. Some don't come until heaven. But for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come. It will be alright in the end. Trust God and believe in Good Things to Come.” 

- Jeffrey R. Holland

This man is one of my favorite apostles.

This quote has been EVERYWHERE lately. I probably can't count on one hand the times I've seen it this week. Must be meant to be. Sometimes, I just want to give up. Give up waiting for my sweet boy, give up college, give up my hopes, and give up my dreams. Just plain give up.

Life gets so hard sometimes. At this time in my life, there are so many things attacking me, just willing me to give up. 

Luckily, there are small things here and there that help me out. 

-I got an A on my chemistry exam this week. That is one of the biggest blessings ever. I have struggled so much with chemistry in the past. Last semester, I took this same class and didn't do so well. Since I needed an A, I had to retake it, and lucked out with the best professor.

-My friend Miranda, while talking to her today, told me to look up this talk , which is also by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. This man is incredible. And so is this talk. He is definitely inspired of God. 

-Quotes. For some reason, quotes help me out when I am struggling. Whether religious, song lyrics, or just common quotes. I have quotes and sticky notes of adapted quotes all over. Written wherever I can write them.

"Things that were hard to bear are sweet to remember." -Seneca

Airbags

Sometimes I catch a whiff of something, and it reminds me of the smell of blown airbags. I despise that smell. Makes me sick every single time. Brings my accident back to mind, and automatically gives me a headache. I often wonder if it will ever go away. I sure hope so. I don't like reminders so often of things so awful.
