the golden rule.

Treat others as you would like to be treated. Talk to others. Get out of your comfort zone and say hi to someone you wouldn't normally talk to. Sometimes that's all that person needs. Lately I have been a lot more conscious of people around me. I've tried to be kinder, talk to more people, and get to know others. And let me just tell you, it had been awesome. You're never truly alone in this world, no matter how much you feel like that. I am so grateful for my best friend and for the example she sets for me. I strive to be like her a little more each and everyday. You know who you are. Thanks for being you and being they example you are to me! I've definitely gained more friends and a better understanding of people because of it. A couple final words I have for you tonight:: smile. It's contagious.

xoxo, britt

jumbled thoughts.

time has flown by. so much has happened. but rather than writing a 20 page essay of what happened while i was gone, i'm writing my feelings as of late. not for anyone to be read, not to be judged, but solely for the fact that writing truly is therapuetic.

brother left on his mission. he's gone. long gone. in portugal long gone. he loves it there, and i can tell how truly happy he is. his strength and love for the gospel amazes me. his letters are by far the highlight of my week. it's hard to think that three years will pass without seeing eachother. yup. you know what that means, this girl is preparing to serve the Lord on a mission. im so excited for the chance i have to serve and the oppurtunities that are to come of spreading my love for this glorious gospel. if all goes as planned, since im a little youngin', i will be leaving may 2014, just a little over a year. crazy that what once was three and a half years away, is just around the corner. one of my very best friends already has his papers in. he should be getting his call this coming week. where did time go? we aren't even graduated yet. we're still babies. and yet, graduation is less than four months away. by the end of the month i'll know where im going to school, maybe even know where i'm living. how did this happen? how did i grow up so fast? my parents wonder the same thing. it was senior night for cheer last night. lets just say some tears were shed. my life for the past nine years is almost over. nine years of hard work. nine years of dedication. nine years of smiles. nine years of memories. i am so grateful for my coaches throughout the years and the girls on my squad, but especially for my parents. even though they're hard on me, they believed in me when no one else did. they knew what i was capable of and pushed me to achieve it. even though they weren't at every single game, i knew they cared.

none of this makes sense. its so out of order and non comprehendable. but thats okay. sometimes thats all you need. im off to do some long procrastinated homework. night loves.
