You're a Wizard, Harry!

So much love!

Hello bloggers! Long time no write. But I've been busy! I had a date with Harry Potter. It was magical. We rode the castle ride until it broke (literally) and drank so much butterbeer, I thought I was going to explode. Oh, and Carlie was there too. It was her birthday/graduation surprise. It couldn't have been a better week. Seriously. It was magical. Carlie's reaction was perfect. She was so happy and literally cried of happiness. Which is always a good sign. I was so grateful to be able to enjoy the experience with her. But now I am really craving butterbeer! Haha. But really...

Hmm so what else is going on in my brain. Lots of things. I am coming to a point in my life where I am really trying to accept who I am as a person. And I am trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. I have so many dreams and priorities to organize and pursue, and I want to make sure that I do what will make me happy in the long run. Since high school, I've thought about being a lawyer, but it never really interested me because it would take away from working with special needs kids. Then a few months ago, it hit me. I can do both! I want to be a special needs advocate. It's just opening another door within the special needs community. And I would still use my therapeutic recreation major to be a therapist. There are so many options and so many ways I want to help in the community. And if I don't get into BYU Law, then I will just call it a day and go be a therapist. My goal in life is to help as many kids as possible. Plus, it brings me so much joy. There is nothing better than the peace I feel when I am around a child with a disability. They are the sweetest souls and I love each and every single one of them. 

I love my siblings!

I am also trying to be confident in who I am. There are some who want to tear me down. They judge me. They hate me. And they are horrible to me. And honestly...I don't care anymore. This is who I am: I love working with children with disabilities. I love them. They are the best souls I have ever met. There is nothing better than seeing a smile break out on a child's face when they see me, knowing that I am their friend. Nothing brings me more joy. I try to be kind to everyone. I have made my mistakes. But I really do try to be kind. I have reached a point in my life where only a few things really matter, and I like to think that they are the important things. My family is important to me. I love them and try to make them proud. My parents have always nudged me towards being a lawyer and have helped me gain the confidence to accomplish any goal I set. And I love them for pushing me to be the best I can be while still giving me the space to be my own person. Devin is important to me. He is such a positive influence. He doesn't bring me down. He is always so supportive of me and he never judges me. Simply put, he is nice to me. A concept I feel is lost on others. Be nice. Makes life so much easier. School is also important to me. I study hard so that I can have any door open to me. My friends are important to me, and in the last few months, I have really seen who my true friends are. I love them and thank them for always being so encouraging and showing me what true friendship and kindness is. I love them. 

Four. Four simple things. They are the only important things in my life. I will be who I want to be. I will be successful. I am who I am. If you have a problem with it, get out of my life. Walk away like I am walking away from you. We have reached adulthood, people. Time to start acting like it. In my future, I see happiness. Success. Marriage. Love. What do you see?

So bloggers, always remember...

All good things come...to those who ACCEPT themselves.
