I am no longer an MG. But you know what, that wasn't the right path for me. (That rhymed.)
I met a boy. He is pretty special. I know that this is the right choice. I couldn't be anything more than thrilled. I will post more details soon. But until then,
I love heroes. Batman is my favorite, of course. I may not have super powers and neither do you. However, there are heroes all around us. I am so thankful for all of them, no matter what they do or come from. There is one hero that I particularly love, and I'm waiting for him.

The video won't upload, but in a nutshell, I was having a terrible day. And I just decided to take matters into my own hands. So I changed and worked out in my room. Pretty much just ended in me dancing to random songs, but hey,
dancing is exercise too. And it worked! So next time you are feeling glum, that is okay. It is normal. But don't just sit in stew because that only makes it worse. Get up, and do something. And I promise in less than an hour, you will feel great. :)
I love music! I don't know if I have said this enough.
One of my favorite things to do is put my feelings/situations into song. I don't write songs, but I search for songs that say exactly what I am trying to.
And today....Colbie Caillat did it right. :)
Here are the main parts that I love...Then listen to the song. :) It all fits perfectly.
Well, maybe you're not right for meMaybe it's just hard to see
I get lost in your beauty
Then I just start questioning
'Cause when you took my heart you took it all
When you gave it back it fell apart, so
I won't do what you told me
I won't do what you said, no
I'm not gonna stop feeling
I'm not gonna forget it
I don't wanna start over
I don't wanna pretend that you are not my lover
That you're only my friend
Friend, I won't
You say it's easier to burn than to build
You say it's easier to hurt than to heal
But I say you lose when you give up what you love
And I've lived my life without you long enough, so
I won't do what you told me
I won't do what you said, no
I'm not gonna stop feeling
I'm not gonna forget it
I don't wanna start over
I don't wanna pretend that you are not my lover
That you're only my friend
Friend, I won't
So I have a lot of fears: heights, horses, lakes, dying, snakes, spiders, bees, yeah the list goes on. However, I have decided that it is time I start changing this.
Ether 12:27
"And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."
I went horseback riding a couple weeks ago. At first I was terrified. However, I discovered after a few minutes that it is actually not scary. It was incredible! I enjoyed it so much and I can't wait to go again. There was something so peaceful and adventurous about it.
I went rock climbing as well. Now this may seem strange, but truly, heights terrify me. I buckle and can hardly think straight. I don't even like jumping off the stages in church buildings. So rock climbing was difficult for me. After going up the wall a couple times (and controlling myself enough to stop shaking) I was able to enjoy myself. I had the opportunity to go a second time and I can honestly say, I love it now! I cannot wait for the next time I get to go. I think it is going to become one of my hobbies.
So, my goal of overcoming my fears is coming along. This competition is called the Tough Mudder. Just watch the video...I think I will be overcoming a lot.
However, I'm so excited!! It is going to be an amazing experience.
Pictures and videos will be taken so no worries. I will share the excitement later. But right now, I need to start training. I only have 8 months to prepare myself for near-death experiences. :)
