day two;

day two: six things you love.

This is a hard one because I when I start thinking about things like this, this list could go on forever. These aren't going to be in any particular order, just the way they pop into my brain.

1.  Books. I will openly call myself a bookworm. I see beauty in books and words where others, well, don't. Call me crazy, but reading is one of the things that really calms me down. And I know that as a high-schooler, that is not something you hear very often. I also aspire one day to be an author. I want to inspire people with books the way that they have always inspired me. I don't know if this will happen, but we'll see. 
2. My family. Although, at times, it might seem otherwise, I really do love my family. They're always there for me and they're really the only people who know me as the weird, crazy, and weird person that I really am. And after knowing that, they still love me, which just might be a mystery to all forever. I am so glad I get to spend eternity with my family.
3. My church. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I'm not ashamed to say it. My church keeps me afloat in a world that is sinking faster and faster with each day. I'd like to think that even without the standards that I have grown up with, I would still be the person I am. But I can't believe that. Some people think that Mormons are restricted too much, but having the standards that we do, gives us a much freer and better life. I am so grateful for this church and I can't wait until I'm worthy to get married in the temple with a worthy man standing right next to me. 
4. Friends. Over the years, I've learned the real meaning of a true friend, unfortunately, the hard way. But, I've grown up a lot because of that, and now I think I can stand up for myself in ways that I wasn't able to before. I'm super grateful for the friends I have now, the smiles and laughs we've shared, and the memories we've created. I love you guys so much.
5. Disney. This is super random, but I just thought of it. Disney is really one of the only things still in this age that is pure. The movies, the music, the shows. I never get tired of jamming out to the music from my favorite Disney movies. This past spring break, I went to Disney World for the first time, and it was so fun. Seriously. I want to go back. Tangled is pretty much my favorite Disney movie right now. For my campaign speech in speech (go figure) I ran to be Rapunzel.. Silly me. I got an A, though, so it's all good.
6. I thought I had all these good ideas, but now I'm drawing a blank... Oh, Colors. I love colors. They can make anything beautiful and they're so unique. There's the color of the sky: blue most of the time, but then at sunset, you can almost find all the colors of the rainbow. The color of individual's eyes: it's something that is unique to each person, and gorgeous no matter what. The color of flowers in the spring or leaves in the fall. They make the world so beautiful and I love them.
