more to life

tonight i was sitting at a party with a group of friends. 

they were playing beer pong, and drinking wine, and the usual weekend events were occurring. and i just sat there and thought to myself..."why doesn't anyone realize there is so much more to life than this?" 

people are so much more than they give themselves credit for. :/ i just wish i could make them see it. i know that i have had a lot of self confidence problems in the past. i still have a lot of self confidence problems that i'm working on every day, but i've never been to the point where i thought that alcohol and drugs were the answer to my problems. 

let me tell you friends...they aren't. the answer that is. 

every single thing that our Prophet, Thomas S. Monson, asks us to do, will only make us happier. sex, drugs, alcohol...all things that complicate our lives. education, sobriety, and charity...all things that simplify our lives and make us grateful for the things that we do have. 

stay sober kids, you won't regret it. 

xoxo,
the mormon girl

new me

today is the day i start being the person i always wanted to be.

growing up is scary. when i moved out here to california to go to school i never imagined the struggles i would face, the choices i would have to make, or how much i relied on the all too familiar people and places of home. but i'm not scared anymore.

i'm open to the possibilities the world has to offer.

today i choose to be happy.

                                            today i choose to be real. 

                                                                                     today i choose to just be me. 

i'm just a blue eyed girl with stars in my eyes. if you want to follow me along this journey of self-discovery, i'd love to have you along. who knows, we may even learn something from each other? and i sure would love to do that, because you, yes you my dear reader, have so much to offer this world,

                                   just because you, 
are you.
