whoa. long post.

Sigh. Well, I wish that I was good at being a blogger. But I am clearly not. And, especially after reading Katie's posts, I don't think I'm a very good writer.

Oh well, I'll just do this my own way i guess. :)

Okay. So I've been noticing a few things lately.

1. Four years of high school went by really fast.

I can't even believe how fast they went. I'm ready to go to college, but at the same time, who ever really wants to grow up?

2. It takes effort to ignore someone.

Okay. So lately I've noticed that people can be really mean. Like seriously. When you just actually take time to listen to what people are saying, you'll be shocked. I mean here I am, sitting at the lunch table, when I hear someone who is supposed to be a loving Christian calling someone else a whore and saying that they hate her. What is that?!? God calls us to LOVE others. Not hate on them. And so what? She may have made some mistakes in her life. And maybe she's not very nice. But that does NOT give you the right to be saying those things about her. God loves all his children the same. He loves you as much as he loves her. If you think that your sins are somehow better than hers, you're wrong.

Wow. That is not where I was originally intending to go with that. I'll start a new number.

3. It takes effort to ignore someone.

So again, lately I've noticed that people can be really mean. I mean like I will be talking to someone, and in mid-sentence of what I'm saying, they will stop listening to me, and start talking to someone else. You know, I don't know about you, but I really don't enjoy that. And you can give the excuse that you just got distracted or whatever--but take it from someone who is very A.D.D....it takes effort to just ignore someone like that.

4. I want to better myself.

I've decided to better myself. I know that all you who read this are going to tell me that I'm not fat blah blah blah...but I know that I'm not the healthiest I could be. I don't want to get skinny. Cause having that mindset from experience just takes me bad places. But really, I just want to be healthier. And so far, I like doing it.

But I don't just want to better myself that way. I want to better myself for God too. I want to go deeper in His word. I want to learn.

5. My boyfriend is awesome.

So Zach and I have been together for 1 year and 3 months now. Not bad. :) We have definitely had our share of ups and downs. LOTS of them. But, I think that for being a high school relationship, we're doing pretty well. And he really works hard to treat me right, and I do the same. Which I think just totally makes him so awesome :).

Okay. I think that's it. Enjoy.
