So maybe I'm living life the wrong way, but at least I'm living life..

       Here I am laying in bed at 11 o'clock on a Sunday night remembering all of the life changing adventures I've taken this past year and a half I've lived in Rexburg. While I remember and relive all those moments I can't help but smile.... I've been "all over the map" so to speak, my adventures are exactly that, they are crazy and random and new and exciting, sometimes they are terrifying and I can't believe I was the one partaking in them. Some were stupid all of them reckless and when I try to imagine doing something different it just never seems to fit. Even the ones I'm too ashamed to talk about, they are all so important I was meant to live my life this way. I just know it.  
           If you have ever been in my apartment or looked through my binder at school, my notes on my phone, computer or even my Facebook; if you know me at all you know that I'm crazy about quotes. If it's even the slightest bit relevant to my life I fall in love with it. I'm convinced 90% of country songs were written just for me and that the cute sayings on pinterest can all be applied to some point or other in my life. I'm sure I'm not that important and my life isn't that exciting or romantic, happy or even depressing. I'm sure everyone at some point or another feels exactly the same way about the same quotes and somehow it just makes us all human. But to me the quotes are personal, each and everyone of them. So here I am laying in bed at 11 o'clock on a Sunday night remembering all of the life changing adventures I've taken in the past year and a half I've lived in Rexburg, and I decided I needed to find some new quotes to try and explain just how much I truly love my life. And maybe how I plan to love the years to come.

    1. "As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someones hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back"
    2. "It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives."
    3. "It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it takes a lifetime to forget someone."
    4. "Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright"
    5.  "Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do"
    6. "The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way."
    7. "Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying."
    8. "I always knew looking back on the tears would make me laugh, but I never knew looking back on the laughs would make me cry."
    9. "Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't."- Erica Jong
    10. "You've got to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you've got, and remember what you had. Always forgive, but never forget. Learn from mistakes, but never regret"
     
       The person I am today compared to the one I was yesterday even the one I will be tomorrow they are all different. They have all grown. from one to another I'm learning about life and discovering what I want, what makes me happy, and how determined I am to get just where it is I am meant to be. In 58 days I turn 21, I graduate from school in 40, My last day of school is in 74, and I pack everything up and move back to Vegas in 100. After this I'll start new count downs and I'll make new memories but somehow I know they won't be quite as life changing or impacting as my time living away from home. I'm always told the things I'm doing today I will never be able to do again, don't be in a hurry to grow up, enjoy being single and my time discovering myself. I think I'm doing a pretty good job of things so far. I can't wait to keep doing it.  <3
