This little necklace of mine.


This little necklace of mine. This little necklace of mine stands for the hard work, the trials, the pain and the joy. The heartache and laughter and every little thing that has crossed my path. Sometimes a mountain, other times a grain of sand. It represents who I am and just how far I've come. It stands as a constant reminder that I can do all things through Christ for this, I love this little necklace of mine.

I got my Young Womenhood Medallion today in Sacrament Meeting, my bishop teased me about making me give a speech because he knows how much I HATE talking in church. I psych myself out and just can't do it. I get so nervous that I am up there for like 2 out of the 5 min I'm supposed to be up there and then sit down. But in all honesty, I love the bishop I have. He is amazing at his calling and I am eternally grateful. I can go into his office and yell and complain and vent and he won't fight back. He sits there and listens until I'm done and then grabs tissues and talks to me and opens his scriptures and shows me where I can go to find comfort in the scriptures. He has a no crap policy in his office so I tell him anything and everything and its kept between the two of us and its nice to have someone occasionally who I can go to and just vent for 20 min and then be an emotional wreck and have him still love me like his own daughter. I am so thankful for my bishop. The line of authority according to him when it comes to boys is Mom, dad, bishop every one else. If you thought meeting parents were hard just wait till you meet my bishop :) he's awesome and I wouldn't trade him for anything personally. I don't want him to get released from being the bishop ever :) 
Thank you to Bishop Taylor for your smiles and jokes and signing all my birthday cards, certificates and books with your name and a stick figure bishop next to it :) 
Thank you to my mom and dad for supporting me through my personal progress and everything I do. 
Thank you mom for not being one of those "Mormon moms" that cries when her daughter receives 1 ribbon in yw or 1 charm, instead crying when I get a b+ in math class and when I get a 89% on my math test :) I appreciate it.

HUGE THANK YOU to Miss Lehi 2014 Brynn Christensen for letting me rant to you, helping me when I'm at the point of giving up, for supporting me at everything I do, being there when I really need you and for all your uplifting comments and compliments I appreciate it!
HUGE THANK YOU to my friends Ash and MK for always being there for me even when it means Starbucks at lunch, staying out late, making me good food and eating it with me and for being my friends. I couldn't ask for better friends.

blood

 family is not always blood. blood is not always family. family is not always safe. sometimes your chosen family and found family is safer than your blood family. realizing you were no longer safe for me was one of the hardest pills I ever had to fucking swallow. family is not always blood and you are no longer my family.

it gets better

when i was in high school, i did not feel like i belonged. i was suicidal, i struggled with depression, anxiety and an eating disorder. i was sure that i would end it all. i never thought that id make it to college. never thought that i would graduate high school. here i am, writing at 12:48 am about my past and im filled with gratitude and tears. i graduated high school but not only that i beat my eating disorder, i got help for my anxiety and depression, and i even got a tattoo to remind me where ive been. it gets better. it truly does. ask for help, talk to someone. even if its just a friend. thats how it can start. it truly does get better. i know it may not feel like it now but it does and one day you will look back on your life and be grateful you kept living. i see you. im here. i hear you. i love you. you are worth it. you are beautiful.
