It's in the Stars.

These People I Know.

There are a lot of people in this world 

but thankfully, God gave me my friends.

I have no idea where I would be without my mexican soul sister.

we've had a few good times, I guess.  

My mentoring group is my soul support at college.

I'd probably be headed for a math degree or ever worse, without them. 

MY DEAREST KAKA got engaged.

To her best friend and lover.

Ahhh how happy I am for her. 

Oh Little Black Foot.

Oh Netty Nut.

No words could ever fully express my appreciation for you in my life.

English Essay. Enough Said.

I'm Hilarious.

New Perspective

I'll be the first to admit that I get stuck in ruts,

times where nothing goes right.

And then there are times when someone will say something,

you'll hear something,

you'll see something.

And your perspective will entirely change.

I am grateful for the gospel in my life,

I am blessed.

Embrace the morning.

Being A Grown-Up

Some days are harder than others.

Some days are good.

My Favorite Things About Being an Adult:

1) Can do whatever

2) You feel a tad more mature

3) Dont have to ask permission

4) Everything is up to you

5) Eat whatever, whenever

Dislikes of Being an Adult:

1) Bills.

2) Work.

3) You don't have summer off

4) You spend a lot of time alone.

So what do you think? Ready to be an adult and have the weight of the world on your shoulders?

Precious and Sweet

It takes a long time to grow an old friend.

This topic is really personal to me because I have always relied on my friends for support and confidence. But my senior year of high school, I had no close friends. I realized the benefits of having a close friend and partner in crime. Another thing I realized is that time changes you. 

People move on.

Things change.

Love can fade.

Best friends can become sweet memories of the past.

Appreciate the moments!! You never know when they will be swept away from you.

Hold a true friend with both hands. 

And hang on tight.

"But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine."

Soul-mates

Do you believe in soulmates?

"Once, a long, long time ago, all people had four legs and two heads. And then the gods threw down thunderbolts and split everyone into two. Each half then had two legs and one head. But the separation left both sides with a desperate yearning to be reunited. Because they each shared the same soul. And ever since then, all people spend their lives searching for the other half of their soul."

Short question with so many different answers!

Some replies from my friends and co-workers and complete strangers:

"YES!"

"Absolutely!"

"no."

"Of corse not!"

"Always! Ha, did you find yours?"

"why do you always ask random questions?" (my favorite reply)

When asked to go more in depth with their answers, I had some interesting thoughts. 

"We make out soul mates. No one person is perfect for us. We become perfect for each other over time. There are lots of people we are compatible with and over time we come to be soul mates through our interactions and changing to be better."

"I believe that there is someone out there that will love you and you'll love them forever, a perfect match... but I also believe that our experiences change us so that person isn't a set person. There isn't only one man/woman for one person."

"You know what, sometimes I feel like Heavenly Father has ways of helping us find the person in our lives that can help us, and it just works out! So, in a way, YES, I do believe in soul-mates."

"No, I do not believe in soul-mates because I don't think they even exist. Marriages are about way more than just initial spark and common interests."

"I believe everyone has multiple soul-mates. If things don't work out with the first one, you still have another chance. But people are snow flakes, not puzzle pieces. We don't fit "precisely" with anyone. And that's how it should be, otherwise we wouldn't need other people."

"No I don't. I think people have multiple other people they are compatible with and its up to you to find them!"

What do you think? Do you believe there is a "special someone" out there waiting for you?!

Loooonng.

About a month back, I got a blessing from my Father.
Which helped a lot.
One thing he mentioned was to: "Live day to day, not in the future."
And let me tell you all something...
That is much easier said than done.

I wake up everyone morning at 5:30am.
(5:40 with the snooze.)
I get ready, run to catch the bus, walk 1/4 a mile to work
then WORK,
What a weird word and concept.
WORK.
It kind of leaves a nasty taste in your mouth, doesn't it?

Everyone I work with has a story.
No one is LDS.
Except me.
Imagine that, right in Provo, UT
They think they're funny, I think they're pervs..
But one thing I like are their hearts.
Not in a creepy doctor way, but in a spiritual eye way

All of us have been born with Christs love.
Some of us show that,
while others have hidden, thrown away or misplaced theirs.
I don't know what I'm supposed to be learning.
I don't know why everyone at work calls me...
JIFFYPOP.
That's right, the popcorn.

(I guess they think they're funny)
But I guess this random blog post is to relieve some thoughts
some thoughts of annoyance
of loneliness
of pathetic-ness (is that even a word?)
Some days are harder than others,
but try to shine your light.
The light of Christ....

In Natick

Hi,
I'm Kelsey and I live in Natick, Mass
Every time I wake up, I think I'm on vacation.
Or on a bad vacation.
I never really thought through about how BORING and LONELY living on your own is.
My desire is to go to college. Have sweet, awesome roommates and just party
But I guess I've done to much of that already.
So I live in Natick.
Cute little town, full of cute people.
I wish I could show you pictures but since I'm on the library computer.. I can't.
I don't know when I'll get the chance to blog again, but just know one thing.
Everything and anything in my life that has gone right or even wrong,
is because God wanted me there.
I am where I am supposed to be.
Even if I'm misirable.
I'm thankful.

Off to see the world...

Sometimes, you grow up.

But just a little bit.

Right now in my life, I think I'm going to have to grow up...

But just a little bit.

ADVENTURE

is just around the corner....

Only 8 more days!!!

Word Barf.

There is so much on my mind that i seriously don't know where to start.

;aldsfjkasldkfjasldkfbnabsdf

In case you didn't see my previous post, I'm moving to Boston.

I need to pack/clean out everything/pack some more.

I need to get my wisdom teeth taken out.

I need to buy my airline ticket.

I need to bribe my Dad to buy it for me.

I need to say good-bye to everyone.

I need to cry about leaving.

Cause I haven't yet, and it feels like it's stuck inside me.

Weird, I know.

I'm such an addictive personality. 

I seriously wonder what is wrong with me at times...

The Bachelorette, Psych, Monk, Lie to me, Quantum Leap.. 

You name it, I've been addicted.

Levi left this morning/afternoon for the MTC.

I'm SUPER proud of him, but sad that he'll be gone.

BUT! Before he left, we got to go to the temple and he confirm/baptized me!

I have always loved going to the temple with him.

I LOVE TO LAUGH.

Everytime I can make someone laugh, or visa versa, my WHOLE day is 100x better.

I made my grandma do the "snort" laugh (you know what i'm talking about?)

and I loved it! I miss her a TON.

Even if she doesn't want me to marry a Mexican or black man.

My friends are amazing.

Every single one.

I am overly blessed.

Sometimes I wonder, "Would I be MY friend if I wasn't me?"

Does that make sense?

Every part of my personality can come to life with different individuals!

My Psych Buddy.

My Teacher of Greatness.

My All-Day-Everyday-and-Still-Loving-it Sister.

My Secret Lover. (you know who you are..Mykaka)

I am just SOOOOOOO grateful for my friends.

Thanks everyone.

Obsessed

Since the first day of 8th grade,

I knew I wanted this black girl to be my best friend.

And... I usually get what I want :)

From the beginning, 

we have been through everything.

literally..

EVERYTHING.

She makes me laugh harder than anyone in the entire world.

(and that's a lot of people!)

Thanks my dearest friend.

You are fabulous.

GRACIAS.

Giraffa Camelopardalis

I think I am in love.

Don't be too shocked because it has been a long time in the making.

But seriously, I LOVE giraffes. 

I want to own one.

Or two.

Maybe a herd.

UP

Sometimes, Utah is extremely lame.
And other times, you can find some pretty cool things to do/see.
This is one of the amazing things... CLICK HERE!!!

Books change things

Have you ever read a book and realized that your view of the world is suddenly shifted?
Everytime I read the Book of Mormon, I always feel better.
Everytime I read Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens, I realized what I can work on.
Everytime I read Goose Girl, I just feel happy about love and life.

This time, it's called The Alchemist.

"All you have to do is contemplate a simple grain of sane, and you will see in it all the marvels of creation. Listen to your heart. It knows all things, because it came from the Soul of the World, and it will one day return there."

"I don't live in either my past or my future. I'm interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we're living now."

“Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.” You’ve got to find the treasure, so 

that everything you have learned along the way can make sense."

“When you are in love, things make even more sense, he thought.”

“Courage is the quality most essential to understanding the Language of the World."

My favorite quote from the entire book:

“When each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.”

Everybody should read this book. 

It will change your life.

Everybody has a laughing place

"Laughter gives us distance.
It allows us to step back from an event,
deal with it and then move on."

I'm going to be honest, cause honesty is the best policy.
Life has been hard lately.
Everyday takes effort for me.
What I'm lacking = Ambition.
My entire life has felt like a desire to do what God wants me to do.
But it seems like God wants ME to decide what I want.
And here is the problem.
I want to get an education.
I want to go on a mission.
I want to get married in the temple.
I want to raise a family.

Now is the problem..... $$
My heart seems to be braking. I want to go to school SO BAD.
And yet, I wasn't planning on SVU to bankrupt me.
I wasn't planning on going anywhere BUT SVU.
I wasn't planning on being a failure in life.
;laksjdfka;jsdklfjkasdjfkmanl;dkfiuwioeprioasdfasdfa

But this isn't supposed to be a depressing post.
Life is good.
Life is sweet.
"An optimist laughs to forget, a pessimist forgets to laugh."
I've been trying to forget my problems, and so I laugh.
Here is the good news people:
In the past two days, I haven't laughed as hard as I did, for more than a year.
Laughter can create happiness and I am happy.
Confused, a tad worried, and ambition-less.
But happy.
Thank-you Moo-Mo & Netty.
