You're Still the One

Dear Reader,

I grew up surrounded by comments and ideals of finding ‘the one.’ You have heard it, too. Commentaries such as, “Don’t worry, the right one will come along” or “Keep searching for Mr./Mrs. Right.” It is commonplace in the world of dating and getting married, especially among Latter-day Saints. The truth is that I have been on that search before. There are many women that could be ‘the one’ for me. There have been a couple girls that I thought were that ‘one.’

When you find that person, you are so blissfully happy and you wonder how you ever lived without them.

That one person comes along and they seem perfect in every way.

They complete you.

You balance each other out so well and you start wondering about how much time you want to spend together.

Some say that there is no ‘one’ person for you.

The one is the person you choose to be with forever.

Then it hit me. ‘The one’ has been in front me the entire time. ‘The one’ is me.

The best advice someone can receive about dating or having a marriage is to be the person you want to marry. It hit me today that ‘the one’ needs to be found in front of my nose, not in the apartment down the street. Become ‘the one’ of yourself.

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American." With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly. Am I really proud to be an American? Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

That's What Makes the World Go 'Round!

Dear Reader, Bonus points go to whoever can name what movie today's song title comes from. Comment below to submit your answers. Today I wanted to give you an update on the great " ALS Ice Bucket Challenge " that is taking the internet by storm. What started as a small campaign to raise awareness and funds for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease) has grown and caused thousands of people to dump ice or ice water over their heads. That is how it works: one person nominates another to the challenge. That nominated person then has 24 hours to either donate $100 to the ALS foundation or have a bucket of ice dumped over their head. I would like to think most people are both accepting the ice bucket challenge and donating to charity. I won't judge, though. With all of this publicity that the ALS campaign has received, it made me think of other fads that people participated in during the 1920s and 1930s. Did you know that people regularly participated...
