it.goes.on.

     Hey vast internet world,

     These are not my thoughts, but I like them, and what's more I agree with them. I think these thoughts are wise. I think these thoughts are truth. I know that anything in my life whether it be romantic, academic, emotional, spiritual and the like, whatever hiccup along the way will just make me limp for a little bit. I have learned that in life. Life goes on, no matter what and most importantly this too shall pass!

     "You said you didn’t want to see me anymore and I said okay. You said I was such a stoic. I said I yelp when I get a paper cut but I didn’t cry when my grandmother died. Did you want me to cry?
You didn’t break my heart, and I wouldn’t let you think that you did.
“You’re so comfortable and I’m so awkward. Isn’t it supposed to be the other way around? Can’t we start over?” You were only half-joking.
“Okay,” I said and began fake bawling into my sleeve and you laughed.
After that we argued about music for an hour. Things were going to be okay, we really would be friends. And I liked that a whole lot more than losing you from my life completely, as if you had never been there.
A month later I felt something. I felt numb, like I had shut myself off. I took down pictures of us because I couldn’t stand not feeling anything when I looked at you. I could’ve spent a long time with you, maybe because I really liked you, or maybe because I never wanted you to hurt me.
I never wanted to be some faceless name on your long list of ladies twenty years from now. Originally, I was hoping that you’d look back and think to yourself, ‘Man, Elyssa was really cool. I’m glad I met her.’
But, no, you didn’t break my heart. You broke, like, my toe. When people’s hearts break, or bust open or whatever, they die. I just limped around for a while, and I healed eventually. It’s a funny thing about toes, though. Even after they heal, they’re never quite the same as they were before.
I’m glad it was just my toe, though. I only had to learn to walk again. "

    Have you seen this video? It is beautiful! Perhaps a clever advertising ploy, but I don't care I love it!

     I think that the message is important too. I've found it pretty useful and important in my everyday life. It is all about perspective. It is all about how you say things and how you look at the world. Like today for instance. I planned this hike and only one person showed up. I could see it as a failure or be thankful that that one person showed up and I had the opportunity to get to know him better. Or when the guy I liked asked me to hang out after. I could be upset that it was in a group or be glad he likes spending time with me, even if it is just as friends.

     There are so many examples and wonderful opportunities to change our opinion and to brighten others lives. I hope, I can take more of them!

     I thought this was a rather beautiful reiteration!

declaration.

     As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I found the portrayal came accross as a paranoid religion, that is unaccepting of others.  I cannot count the times people have told me my dad is a polygymist (which isn't even the proper term as that just means multiple spouses and not multiple wives) or that my gender is restricted in some way. People have simpley hidden against judgements of soething they do not understand nor try to understand or a faith that is open, accepting,and loving and most of all Christian (defined by beleiver of Christ) which is exactly what I and others of my faith are.
