fire

As women, when we want to forget about something, or put it behind us, such as a stupid boy, or stupid homework.... we burn the items that remind us of that memory. We burn the hurt, the tears, and the stress away.

My friends and I will be doing this tonight.

Believe that we will be wearing tribal make up and chanting.

Because we deserve the smell of burning notes and love with a smore on the side.

We're still learning what love is, we're still learning what life is going to be like when we're all grown up. . . Good ending to high school.


-Well, I think so anyway.

self image

here it is...

I am admitting one of my hardest things to deal with.

My self esteem. My body image.

Being the size I am isn't easy. At all. It's really hard to hear girls that are smaller than me talk about how they wish they'd loose a few pounds.

I have struggled with it for a really long time. Too long. I do mope about sometimes because of it. Weight is just a number but it stares at me all the time. And yes, I do even cry about it sometimes because maybe that's why I don't get asked out ever. But then I read something that changed my feelings ::

"You can be excellent in every way. You can be first class. There is no need for you to be a scrub. Respect yourself. Do not feel sorry for yourself. Do not dwell on unkind things others may say about you. Polish and refine whatever talents the Lord has given you. Go forward in life with a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face, with great and strong purpose in your heart. Love life and look for its opportunities, and forever and always be loyal to the Church." -President Gordon B. Hinckley

"We can improve, and when all is said and done that's what this is all about: improvement, changing our lives so that we can help people change their lives and be better; building Zion on the earth." -President Gordon B. Hinckley

1. I need to love the body Heavenly Father has given me. I need to work on those things that I am good at and enjoy.

2. There is always room for improvement. I can be better and do those things to make me feel better about myself, like exercise. Not only this, but spiritual improvement needs to exist too.

Heavenly Father helps us through our challenges, but only we can change ourselves. If I want it I'll do something about it and I will seek Heavenly Father's help so that I can be strong enough to do it.

giving you...

Keats every week. You'll be sure to swoon ladies. I promise!

saving

I just updated something and it said, "you have been saved." my first thought was, "I hope that's what I'll be told at the Second Coming." Second thought? ... for these latter days. haha. I thought that was pretty funny.

sees chocolate

Last week and this week have been garbage... and that's to say the least. My poor little niece probably (and by probably, I mean most very likely) has xp. Which means that the lovely is allergic to the sun. So sad, but you know what? Heavenly Father will be watching out for my sister and her cute little family like never before and they will grow so much through this challenge and I admire them for that.

I've managed to cry about a dozen times within the last 7 days. Sometimes it's hard to never get asked out and as soon as you think you might, it never happens and the friendship is non existent. I want to meet new people and do new things. I talked with my grandpa and he was telling me that I should go on a mission. I have seriously been thinking about that and I will know when that time comes if I truly have the will to do that. I love my grandpa and I also admire his strength as he will be starting the battle of his life this week in foregoing cancer treatment.

Sometimes I just want to sit and cry but I mustn't because Heavenly Father loves me and He knows the desires of our hearts to do good, to love others and try our best in life. It also helps if you eat a piece of Sees chocolate once in a while.
Have a nice Wednesday my dear readers!

no one likes bloggers that blog too much but i simply have to say this ::

James McAvoy's eyes are liquid pools of happiness. Blogs are great to read and laugh. My friends know me too well. Heavenly Father has a plan and aren't we lucky for that? I love today, I love learning, and I love this beautiful world.

best friends... i need them

My friends always say the right things :
"I have eggs."
"Every night I fall asleep with Jane Austen."
"The cosmic forces have aligned."
"This is great for UFO sightings."

and those are only some of the things they say that makes me laugh and love them very much.

this day could not be any longer. it's okay though because i love the warm sun.

doo bop doo wa

Because I am me all I listen to is Frank Sinatra and the Temptations radio on Pandora. I love old music. Now music is so edited and fake. I love old music perhaps because it's real. People sang how they rehearsed. I love it. A whole lot actually! Have a swell Wednesday you crazy kid!

love Maddie Violet

sun sun sunshine

you know something? I could get used to this sunshine! :) I love it! I could just listen to the Frank Sinatra station on Pandora all day and sit in the sun in my cute sunglasses. You know one of the best feelings ever? Brush your teeth, mouthwash, put on some Burt's Bees chap stick and chew a piece of mint gum. You feel so fresh! Also I highly recommend the new scent at Bath and Body Works called Apricot Vanilla. Surprisingly it smells so wonderful! If you use that lotion and put on your cute power outfit with you Burt's Bees chap stick, your sure to turn heads where ever you are! I hope you all had a short perfectly perfect Monday at school, work or whatever you might have been acquainted with today! Heavenly Father loves you and so do I!

love Maddie Violet
