Let faith fill every chapter.

Happily Ever After by Jenny Phillips.

This song says everything that I wish I could help every single girl in the entire world understand. You are a princess, and you are destined for great things. One of the reasons I've chosen to study social work is because I want to help people, especially women/girls, understand that they are of infinite worth. No one deserves to believe any less of themselves.

you've been perfectly lovely.

Sometimes I feel like this song and it makes me want to cry.

But whatevs.

I was so pleased when I found this paisley button-up skirt for $3 at an op shop a while ago, but I hadn't worn it until the other day. Everyone told me how nice I looked, and a random girl in the bathrooms at uni told me she loved it. I love it when strangers compliment each other. I guess we're all brothers and sisters, after all... I wish that meant we were all automatic friends, too!

I feel like I got a lot done today: a sleep in, scripture study, research and 1000/1500 words for an ethics essay due next Friday, journal writing, chill time with the fam bam and a leisurely stroll as the sun went down. Since about 8 pm I have been wasting time on the Internet, of course, but I think my productive day makes up for it a bit. :)

Earlier this afternoon, I was going through my computer and deleting luv0 photos of myself when it occurred to me that if I died suddenly, those photos might make someone laugh or smile or cry or just remember me. I didn't want to take that away from them, so I stopped culling them ;)

"She's the vaguest person I know, seriously."
Vague
Sounds so empty, lost
No purpose, no meaning
No
She told me my name was pretty
and excitedly showed us the soy pig ear she bought for her puppy
She kissed me on the cheek good bye like old friends
even though we had barely met
She exclaimed with joy at the sight of a cloud
mid sentence
As I smiled to myself and looked up,
I noticed how the colours blazed like fire
so we warmed ourselves
by the light of an orange sky
on a biting winter afternoon
and I felt inspired
by a stranger in another world
who I now consider friend
No
Vague is not the word
Ethereal.

President Monson tries to learn something from every single person he meets. Everyone has something unique to teach us, but sometimes we just have to reach deeper and search harder, perhaps within ourselves, to find it.
