Today I don't feel like doing anything.
I wanna blog about life and love.
But I don't even know what to say.
My life right now consists of a lot of decisions. And too much stress about it all. I kinda realized last night that the life of a "young single adult" is a rough time. We don't really belong to anyone. Adjusting to being completely independent and then also having to make some of the biggest decisions of our life. And we're just supposed to let loose and have fun while doing it. Which can explain a lot of ups and downs, a lot of prayers and the importance of great friend and family support.
Life is beautiful. That is one thing I've come to be so grateful for. Every trial is a blessing. Every season is a gift from God. Look at the trees outside, with the golden tones of sunshine even on a crisp and cold winter day. Look at the rocks and dirt, and yellowish-green grass. It's beyond beautiful out there.
Love is beautiful. Family is beautiful. Christmas is beautiful. The gospel is beautiful. My puppy is beautiful. You are beautiful. NBD is beautiful. Life is just beautiful.
I like the WORD beautiful. It's beautiful.
So this is me, with an interesting hairdo and an oversized stolen sweatshirt, not moving for the day.
NBD, Today
I declare today as a NBD.
(Only Kylee Geisler knows what that is)
(No it is not, "No Big Deal.")
(I will tell you if you ask.)
I will lay in my bed.
I will sit on the couch.
I will plan my life on pinterest.
I will blog.
I will read.
I will play the guitar.
But I will NOT get dressed.
I will NOT leave this house.
I am happy with doing nothing.
And I need this day.
Everyone needs a true lazy day.
This one, is mine.
A Look Into My Life
See these two beautiful girls at my side. These are my sisters, Mona & Brooklyn.
They are also my roommates during this break.
And sometimes its hard to come home and live the house rules
and room with two other people...
when you're kinda just looking for a vacation.
But I'm glad it's these two because I love them.
And they are hilarious.
Also in the picture you can see my best friend Chauncy.
We skype him, almost everyday.
He's turning our frowns upside down.
This was the reason for much joy last night.
Chauncy is the best, just for his laugh sometimes.
He always knows what to say.
And he's always willing to listen.
Another Look Into My Life
Person 1: "Don't stress too much, good things are coming for ya cuz you deserve it"
Person 2: "I'm not stressed. Goodness, I seem like a nut case. My mind is just over protective of my heart these days"
Person 1: "No, you're fine. Don't worry it can be a good thing but hopefully you will let it open soon for a very lucky guy"
Person 2: "You feelin' lucky?"
Person 1: "I feel lucky every chance I get to talk, text, see, and be with you"
Everyone say, "Aww"
It was worth preserving this conversation.
Because it should go straight into a hollywood production.
And you're all dying to know juicy details about it,
that I'm not going to give ya.
Just know that life is good.
I think I'm going to dust off the guitar and write a cheasy song.
Just doing what I do best on my NBD.
Another great blog. Keep it up Lauren, I love to read them. I think Chancey is a keeper and I hope you can see what a great guy he really is. He makes you happy and is so thoughtful and supportive. It is hard to find these characteristics in a male. Don't let him get away! He may just stay a good friend, but their could also be more to the relationship in the future. Only you know your heart and can make the right decisions.
ReplyDelete*sigh... your blog is fun. :) Your mini rant about beautiful things is beautiful! It is amazing how quickly we can spiral in the feelings "I love my life! This world is AMAZING!" - I'm partial to amazing, maybe you'd say "This world is BEAUTIFUL!" But then, like yesterday, it is so easy for us to fall into stress and despair. Asking the wrong questions to ourselves is so easy! Sometimes as ridiculous as, "What if that one random person (who I never see or talk to on the other side of the world) is mad at me for doing this? I better make her/him happy and not do it!" lol. I wonder how we can have more of the good days... and I just thought of how... WOW... it's so much easier to help you than me??? I was just trying to figure this out... haha. If we do something we love when we wake up... like being grateful or playing/hearing an amazing (beautiful) song (etc). That we could start each day on the right foot and live it awesomely! Whoot! I'll try it out tomorrow. :)
