Lately I've been thinking a lot about the world we live in. It's so noisy, with all the unimportant things we claim are necessary. Some of these things, whether they be Facebook, making money, or just sleeping are good- if done with moderation. Isn't that true with most things? We spend so much time with these inessential things, that we don't have time for the things that really matter. Sometimes I get so caught up with these things that I don't have to time to progress. I kinda stay in the same place, same time, and I justify it with-"oh, I'm just too busy." and then I justify further and say, "well, I'm doing my best. I'm a good person!" when really, all it takes is a few short minutes to JUST LISTEN. Allow for the spirit to speak to me so that I continue to move forward, and become better everyday. So as my goal for the month of July, I am going to find time to just listen, so that I can live up to my potential.

I haven't posted in a while. Sorry 'bout that. I get so many good ideas, and then I just don't. I'm lazy. Deal with it. :) Plus, for some weird reason I can't get my camera to upload any pictures. LAME-O! Anyways, I just decided to give you an update on my life. Since it's so fan-freakin-tastic. (Not! Well, it's not that it's not. It's just that it isn't exciting. But, I don't know...that could change, right?) I've been having a rough time lately with change. My best friend, Sheldon, is leaving to go to college on...Thursday. Yikes. I don't know if I can handle high school without him. He has always been there and always been a constant. He's probably the only person outside of my family that I can be myself around. He is such a good example to me, and I fear I'll never see him again. He turns 19 in December, so then he'll be off on a mission. Oh, man. I didn't even cry this hard when my siblings left for missions. P
