I found this photo on pinterest. I think it's beautiful. Anyway, that's not what my post today is about. I read a blog post that a facebook friend linked to her page: Whose World is "Realer"?
This article gave me a lot to think about. I would highly recommend reading it. It reminded me that we all have "beams" in our eyes/problems/pride that blind us in some way or another, but we just need to look at every person and see the worth of an infinite soul there and love them for it. I think it's important to love people no matter what they believe and not attack what they value so much.
Also, I almost kind of know this guy (well, my mom knows him). How cool is that?
It's been a long week... and it's only almost Wednesday. Not that it's necessarily been all bad--some of it was so good.
I can't wait until I graduate... who knows when that will actually be. School wears me out so fast. I imagine the day I wear my cap, gown, and turquoise heels will probably be one of the best days of my life haha. Don't get me wrong, I like my classes. My teachers are fantastic. It's great having something to work for. That'll just be an amazing day.
Sometimes I look back at old facebook pictures or blog posts and I really miss my high school friends. Weird. But it happens now and then. Sometimes I wonder if they even remember we were ever friends. They must I guess.
My parents are legitimately two of the best people I've ever known. They are my best friends and I don't know what I would do without them. And that's a fact.
I didn't realize how often I use cliches in my speech/writing until I started taking three English classes.
I love when drinking fountains are really cold.
I also use the word "really" a lot. Speaking of alot. You should probably click here and read this. If you haven't already read it... please do.... it's hilarious. Do it. click the link. right now :D. ^
I love those conversations that happen when you first start to really get to know someone. You know, not all the basic "where are you from?" "what's your major?" kind of thing, but those first real and interesting conversations where you realize you're going to be more than acquaintances.
I love BBC's Pride and Prejudice. It just never gets old.
I wish I were going to London in three months.
Pinterest reminds me of all the things I love about life.
Music makes me feel better. :)
I love Sammy's. And muddy, icy, beautiful hikes. And sunshine in winter (really all of the time), and that knowing look you can give to someone and they can pretty much read
your mind, music that speaks to your soul so much you get chills, books
that make you feel less alone because you know someone else understands
what you've been through, people who smile at you when you pass by,
sunflowers that pop up in suburban neighborhoods, knitted hats, big,
fat, juicy hamburgers with hot and perfectly seasoned steak fries, dumb
jokes that make you laugh so hard you cry, people who love you no matter
what, people you love no matter what, adventures, awesome stories, pain that makes you realize how strong you can
be, loneliness that makes you love the people you meet even more than
you thought you could, chocolate so good you can't help but close your
eyes while tasting it, snowflakes, those movies you
could watch over and over again, maybe not even because they're all that
good, but just cause they makes you happy every time.
Also, I hate the song but love this clip:
Now I'll stop rambling. :)
Well, I finally gave in and made a Pinterest account. We'll see how much I actually like it. It seems pretty similar to tumblr so far except all the sudden I am following 85 people and I don't know who like 80 of them are... somehow happened and then I was confused.
Yesterday my apartment and some friends celebrated the Chinese new year. Ashley and Hilary made really tasty food (gyozas, rice, fried noodles). It's great having roommates who love to cook. Jamie and I did help them make the gyozas though and so we turned on disney music and just sang our little hearts out while we worked. It was great.
Then we had an interesting experience with a certain Provo rapper, ate fortune cookies, and watched Mulan.
I love watching movies from my childhood. They're just so good and I always enjoy them just as much as I did when I was little. I remember when I was pretty young and we got the movies Mulan and Anastasia. Camille and I watched those two over and over again.
I always loved this scene:
I kind of wish I had this 80's sounding theme music whenever I made a big decision.
And of course:
Mulan's probably the coolest female Disney main character.
Oh also, my favorite quotes from the movie:
Fa Zhou: My, what beautiful blossoms we have this year. But look, this one's
late. But I'll bet that when it blooms, it will be the most beautiful of
all.
The emperor: The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.
Mulan to Shang: Would you like to stay for dinner?
Grandma Fa: Would you like to stay forever???
Yao: I'll get that arrow pretty boy. And I'll do it with my shirt on.
Grandma Fa:
Fa Li: I should have prayed to the ancestors for luck.
Grandma Fa: How lucky can they be? They're dead. Besides, I've got all the luck we'll need.
