So I haven't written really anything for this blog yet.
So here it it. A month's worth of information, feelings, pictures, and adventures in one post.
Wish me luck.
(also...if there are any errors of any sort... I'm tired. No shame.)
I don't know where to start...
Ummm...
Pictures!
I made a friend!
One of my roommates is allergic to dairy...
Look at me making friends! And maybe not for long with that face...I don't know why I made that face...
Moving on...
Work is simply wonderful. I love everything about it. I work in about 15 different stores and carts and there is never a dull moment. In one store, Tatooine Traders, I get to make lightsabers with little kids and no matter how tired I am or how much my feet hurt, it’s all worth it when I see their face light up because they are holding their very own lightsaber. I’ve had multiple kids hug me because they got their favorite toy, or treat, or t-shirt and it makes me tear up a little inside.
My roommates are just so great. Our apartment has three bedrooms, so there are 6 of us total. Each bedroom has a bathroom in it and a walk in closet, which is very nice. We also have a balcony and a full kitchen. Most of us have Wednesday’s off so we have a ‘family’ day and all go to the parks. I am so very blessed that I get to have awesome roommates.
Speaking of blessings… I meet with the missionaries almost every week. Elder Knapp and Elder Adriano are seriously the best. I don’t know what I would’ve done if they hadn’t have been here. They have helped me stay strong in the gospel and I will always be grateful for that.
We’re gonna get into some kind of serious stuff here. I had the worst anxiety attack I’ve ever had one day after church. I bore my testimony so a bunch of people were trying to talk to me at the bus stop but I just couldn’t handle it. I cried and called the Elders to help me calm down. Other than that, I’ve been doing better. I have bad days occasionally, I mean we all do. I didn’t come here to get rid of my problems and I knew that coming here wouldn’t do that anyway. But I have more fantastic days than bad and that makes it all worth it. I’ve been taking my antidepressants and I can tell a difference. But also being here has just made me so much happier. Don’t get me wrong, I love Utah and I miss my family and friends so much. But I feel so…right. I’ve finally found a place where I fit, ya know? I’ve found my place.
As I said before, I miss my family very much and I wish they could be here with me to feel the things I’m feeling. I’m not very good at staying in touch with people, so I need to try harder to share this with them; to let them know what I’m feeling about this magical place. So that’s a new goal of mine.
Anyway…
I’m in love with anything and everything here.
I am destined for greater things. I would say that almost every day to myself. I’ve found that greater thing. I belong here.
I’ve found my Neverland.
-Stay lost.
PS. Peter says hello too. He greeted me with open arms.
And just like that...I want to get out of this house RIGHT NOW.
I make 2 mistakes and it's like I caused WWIII.
I forgot to fold my step mom's precious laundry and I left a bowl, a cup, and a spoon in the sink.
ALERT THE POLICE BECAUSE I'M A TERRIBLE DAUGHTER.
Oh and he got mad at me because I have stuff all over my room...
I'M PACKING FOR 8 MONTHS OF MY LIFE.
8.FUCKING.MONTHS.
I love my family, I really do. But I can't handle them for more than two weeks. I thought everything was going smoothly and we were getting along just fine. But no.
I'm torn. I'm sad to leave because I'm leaving my family and my tight knit group of friends...but I also can't stand living in my small little college town and I can't stand being criticized every five seconds in this household.
I need to put a smile on my face and cherish the time I have with my family.
