eyes

sophia was stroking my face and my hair this morning. she kept touching my eyebrows and finally said "i love your pricking eyes!!"
thank you, sophia, as usual. :)

also, if you EVER need an epic drive, listen to E.S. Posthumus. my fav song is "manju" but "arise" is also really good if you like movie-intense instrumental music. the other night on the drive back from provo, i rolled my window down and let my hand fly outside in the cold air while listening to this. it was.. epic. i owned the world for 3 minutes and then my ipod died so i rolled up my window and went home.

last night i reconnected with an old friend. it was one of the best closure experiences of my life. i am still in shock over how happy i am about that conversation, how healing it was.

heavenly father loves me. despite everything that has been going on the past 3 months, there have been so many tender mercies, so many moments of undeniable care. where would i be without the gospel of Jesus Christ? i don't think i would have had the motivation to survive high school, or even college without his love. i was thinking about creating a profile on mormon.org but haven't yet. the questions on there got me thinking though. maybe i'll answer some of them on here.

i've been reading "the continuous atonement" by brad wilcox, and "drawing on the powers of heaven" by grant von harrison. both excellent. everyone should read them.

things i'm grateful for:
mountains to drive through
sophia&co
my own room (i haven't had one before the past two months since.. elementary school)
a certain friend who loved me even when i wore this every day, and who i can still talk to about anything:
