Accept who you are; and revel in it.
Mitch Albom (via kari-shma)
Jealousy is so unnecessary in life. I find myself browsing facebook sometimes in jealousy. I look at people I know from Middle School or College and become green with envy of the good things happening to them in their life. Go to graduate school, Travel to any where besides here, Hike through the rain forest, Have a REAL job or a career, Get engaged, Get married, Have an amazing body…the list goes on and on. I realized I get so sad and jealous because these are all things I want for myself one day. But I forget to remind myself that these people did not wake up one day to find a Master’s degree in their lap, they worked hard to get it or had other hardships I am sure they have gone through. These are all blessings in their life that I should be happy about. I look at Megan and see how amazingly talented she is at creating these masterpieces out of cake. She has a real career and all I can do is be happy and soooo proud of her. So what makes her any different from any of the other people I see that have good things coming their way right now? Nothing. So I am throwing away the green eyed monster of jealousy and deciding to take a more humble approach to things. I am who I am and can have those same things one day. I need to put in the work and remember my time will come when it is right in God’s eyes. There are blessings every where in each and every day. I will find them and revel in them. :)

It’s ironic that a pair of dead droopy sunflowers was one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. Yesterday, the world stood still as a boy stood in front of a girl with sweaty palms and a quickly beating heart to tell her how much he loved her. I love that it was in a stinky sauna that was the men’s bathroom at Olive Garden. The moment let my heart explode and feel free to say ‘I love you’ with every beat of its being to this boy that has engulfed me in the world I thought never existed on earth… All those flowers did with every bit of droop and dismay was re-ensure how right he is for me…I am afraid to expect something bad. But how can anything be bad when the bad just seems so good and right? Maybe that’s just how things are meant to be in life. Maybe we are meant to constantly appreciate even the dead dreary things and see the beauty that lies beneath?
I hope I never forget the hesitation in his voice, the shake in his hand, and the race of his pulse as he looked at me and said,’I love you’ and it was meant with every inch of his being.
I hope I never forget how to appreciate the smallest of things such as a bouquet of dead frozen sunflowers that filled my heart with love, laughter and complete adoration for the one boy who was blushing from head to toe.
This was just what I needed today. A reminder of him and how he has changed my life. I miss him so much…
