Today I went to Yoga

for the first time ever. and I think I might go again.

Let go. For this is the key to happiness.

I envy those stories where people can get up and skip town. Start a new life in the city. Cut off all their hair. Enroll at an art institute. Become incredibly edgy and wonderfully artsy. Then I remember this is reality. Where facebook mocks our lives. We don't know what people think, it bugs us to no end. And we define ourselves through knowing things that others don't. We want so badly to be apart of the culture that screams individuality. But when everyone begins to become this way. What are we but a heard of black sheep.

Secretly I envy the generation with out electronics. It is nearly impossible to do the above anymore. Everyone is so connected. Everything was so much more personable then. People KNEW you. They genuinely wanted to be with you. We are a generation of comparisons. So I'm letting go. Letting go of the assumptions that are probably untrue. I'm going to ignore all of these exterior social things screaming my name. Sit outside. Read a book. Enjoy the day. Find some good music. And just listen. Because all we are is a bunch of drones. I hate it. And I know it makes me less happy. 

So here's to happiness. And summertime. New friends, old friends, and new love. 

S211

Today is a good day.

I moved. And I'm living with the lovely miss Katherine and Dottie. 

I'm so so so so so so excited for summer. I can't even explain it.

6 ladies

3 to one room. 

and the apartment was completely hand picked by one another. 

AND. 

to top it off I have ROOF ACCESS.

directly out my window.

And if anyone knows me they know I love roofs. 

I have a feeling this summer will be grand :) 

It's getting there

Dear Freshman Year.

You have been nothing short of disappointing. You gave me more people that love me than I deserve. You've taught me so much. You gave me firsts. Lasts. Happy days. Stressful days. and everything in between. I'm sitting in this empty dorm room thinking about how much I'll really miss this. 

The 46th ward. 

Abbeys ridiculous humor and dilemmas.  

Alyssas crazy artfulness. 

Rachelles singing. 

Audris love of fiction. 

Saras thoughtfulness. 

The nights in Whitney hall being ridiculous with my boys. 

Endless nights of staying up with people I love. 

The days spent on the hill in pure sunshine bliss. 

The trips up the canyon. 

Watching people from our kitchen.

Random nights at liberty & king henry.

45 second dance parties.

Noah always saying hello even when i'm on the other side of the square.

The hot springs.

Lacrosse

The ever fall.

The Creamery.

Concerts at Velour. 

Climbing. 

Intramurals. 

Bonfires!

Crunchy leaves.
Great dates. 

Random road trips.

BYU sporting events!

Sonic.
Pranks.

Bean musem. 

NARWHALS. 

Pulling all the cookie dough out of ice cream.

Allnighters.

Blanket forts. 

Mummpie
Stargazing. 

Millions of people in our kitchen.
Library till 2 am.  

The struggle to learn and want more.

Never sleeping.
and so much more.
Random uplifting conversations with the most wonderful people this world has to offer.
All with wonderful friends. 

(shout out. Lexi, McKann, Suzanne, Cassie, Gillian, Cholé, Dottie, Creed, Pat, Colter, Ben, Taylor Lyssa, Abbey and so many others)

Time is augmented here. And you've played a cruel trick on me. I'm not quiet ready to leave, I just got comfortable. but just like gillian said.

People that are Wonderful Edition 3

Everyone. Meet Chloé

(click her name. her blog is cool. the concept is brilliant.)

This is the candid picture of us. From like forever ago. but I love it. and more importantly her.

We've been through a lot together. Shared wonderfully joys moments, bitterly sad, and simply splendid days. Literally everything. Sometimes I almost feel like she knows me better than myself which really amazes me sometimes. She's level headed. Always loving. And one of the best girls I know :)

THE REASONS:

1) She dances through life. If it's not okay, it will be - just keep on grooving until it's done and you'll get there happy :)

2) VIRTUE NINJAS. camp. wonderful times. everything.

3) the weird voice that we do when we get together

4) she feeds me. way more than i can ever repay her for. 

5) she finds ways to show she cares in little ways. for example, noticing small things, decorating my room for my birthday, writing me a survival guide for freshman year, calling at the right times.

6) every voicemail she has ever left me begins with "hi dear!" 

7) her stickynotes prioritizing her life. and the expo marker in her car

8) she goes photographing with me. and let's me take pictures of her :)

9) her STYLE. (chlo, you will be hipster one day)

10) she will come rescue me at any time of the night, pick up her phone, chat with me, obsess over funny things, rock out to music, just talk, and be wonderful 

11) she keeps my head screwed on straight. 

12) she enjoys roofs, high places, and exploring just as much as I do. 

13) she is so strong in the gospel. understands so much. is always asking questions. learning. and it's amazing. she's so smart. I really look up to her.

14) we're children together. i'm 5 and she's 4 if i remember correctly

15) she is Chloé and simply that. I love her. A million and more. 

Isn't she pretty???

Love you. Thanks for being my best friend through and through :) Always got your back darling.

CARPE DIEM. 

Sarah loves you.
