i don't think so.

so when you're thinking that life kind of sucks
because everyone went to richfield without you
and then at your training the stake president looks
right at you and says, "your time sacrificed in this
calling will be made up socially, in your school
work, and in all aspects of your life."

i don't think it was a coincidence.

love.trust.lessons.

My mom and I had a little talk about love over the break.
and I know that I really have no idea about some kinds of love
because I haven't gone through them. but I feel like through
everything that I'm going through right now, if nothing else,
I'm learning a little more about what love really is.
the kinds that are in my life at least.

-the love of my parents.
and my brothers and sister.
-the love of the support from others who I never expected it from.
-the love of him. that's helping us get through this.
-the love of friends.
-the love of his family.
-the love of my Savior.
-the love of not judging others.

it's a complicated thing, love.
and sometimes I put my whole heart in too fast.
but now I know more than ever that
being honest is important.
and gaining trust back is hard.
that more than anything
i want a temple marriage.
and that it's okay to let others
know what i'm going through.
because sometimes they know
a lot more than I do.
and they'll help me through.

the lessons that I'm learning
are worth more than anything.
and I'm reminded each day that I'm
where I'm at right now for a reason.
even when I don't know what those
reasons are.

be honest.
love with all of your heart.
and learn from everything and everyone in your life.

love, j.
