As I sit here staring at this blank screen, the only thought occurring in my mind, is that no thoughts are occurring in my mind. How ironic. I'm no expert on love. In fact, I don't know anything about it. So I really take no claims regarding the upcoming statements. They may or may not be accurate. In fact, let's just say none of them are accurate.
Love is like walking in the snow. It's a pleasant thought, until you experience what a pain in the butt it actually is.
The kiss was tender. Like a chicken tender.
Love notes are like notes. With love.
Life is like a box of chocolates. Except, it's like the good kind, where you get to pick which chocolates you want in your box.
Love is just awkward to be around. Like the couple making out on my couch.
I don't know what love is. Just like I don't know how to draw resonance structures.

So much for my only goal in life....
I'm not a fan of making goals. Because usually, I'm just as good at obtaining those goals as I am at keeping New Years resolutions. Which is, lousily to the max. However, one goal I do have in life, is to never get a ticket. And so, trying to come up with these letters, was just depressing. And foreign to me. And they just made me even more certain that getting a ticket is something I never want.
So.... maybe I should stop speeding.
Anyways, here they are:
Your honor,
Yesterday I received my 4th speeding ticket, consequently getting my license revoked. By all means, I am not trying to justify my actions, because I know I am the one at fault. However, I feel some considerations should be accounted for, thereby justifying my actions. Granted my other speeding tickets this month have been due to foolish decisions I’ve made, but yesterday the circumstances were different. My little brother fell off the counter and needed stitches on his head, and I was the only one home able to take him to the hospital. The nearest hospital to my house is at least twenty minutes away. I knew that if I drove over the speed limit to get him there, I would risk being pulled over. But, it was more important to me to get my brother taken care of. As I was pulled over, the cop noticed I was rushing to the hospital, so he followed me there and gave me a ticket once I arrived at the hospital. I am aware that I was speeding, but this was an understandable circumstance. It is my hope that you will take this into consideration, and pardon my error. I haven’t tried to reason or excuse any of my previous tickets, but this time I feel it’s necessary. Thank you for your time.
Mommy, I really hate to bring you worry while you’re on vacation, but I don’t want to lie to you either. Yesterday when I called you and told you I had to take Adam to the hospital, what I didn’t tell you was that I also received a speeding ticket. It was my fourth one this month, so my license is being taken away. I’m not trying to pretend that I wasn't guilty, because I do have a problem with speeding. You know that better than anyone. However, I did write a letter to the judge in plea of letting me off this time, because of the circumstances. I don’t want you to freak out about this, I’m taking care of it in the best matter I can. Adam is doing well now, and that is all that really matters. It will be an issue if I’m not able to drive anywhere, but there are many worse things that could be happening. Anyways, I just wanted you to be aware of this, so you didn’t find out some other way. I hope you’re having a great time, and I can’t wait for you to get back! I love you!
Hey guys, here’s the thing. Yesterday, I got a speeding ticket. I know right, what’s new? But the difference is, this time it was the fourth one in a month, so my license is being taken away. I know, it’s ridiculous, but what can I do about it now? I did write to the judge, but who knows if that will change anything. For now, I won’t be able to drive people around anymore, which means we’ll have to start taking the bus to school, along with being extremely bored on the weekends. Eventually I’ll get a license again, but for now…. I’m just not licensed to drive. I know this is going to frustrate you all, but it angers me as well, because I don’t even think I should have gotten a ticket because it wasn't really my fault this time. I was taking my brother to the ER, and with my luck, I should have known I’d pass a cop. So yeah, I got pulled over, and now I don’t have a license. It’s rather unfortunate, and I know this affects you guys too, but hey. Look on the bright side; at least you guys aren't the ones paying for it.

Just pretend there is only one poem here... even though there's not.
Ok, found poems. Here they are.
So, this made me feel like Ellen Hopkins. Who by the way, is probably my favorite author ever.
Also, these are all from conversations I've had with people on Facebook. Which I guess goes to show why I'm such a fan of that fantastic website.

I think they worked quite well in my opinion....
And, I thought this was incredibly fun. I wouldn't mind more blog posts like these.

Sometimes, people are wrong...
Satan will do whatever he can
To tear you down.
Whether it be through other people
Or through your own thoughts.
He has no authority over you.
He cannot receive revelation for you.
Only YOU know what is right for you.
And YOU are the best judge
On what you can and cannot do.
There may be some validity to his claims, but.
Didn’t people tell Galileo
That he was wrong?
Didn’t people think Einstein
Was crazy?
Didn’t people support Hitler
Killing the Jews?
Didn’t people (and don’t they still) think Joseph Smith
Was a cuckoo brain?
Just because someone else thinks,
It doesn’t make it correct.
It’s what YOU feel in YOUR heart.
It’s the confirmation YOU receive,
When YOU think or pray about it.
Don’t let anyone tell YOU otherwise.
I’m not saying to disregard advice,
Don’t get me wrong.
But,
Don’t take it all as a fact.
Sometimes, people make your day...
I want you to know.
That you have made a difference.
In my life there have been days.
A lot of days.
When I come home.
And feel so low.
I just lay on my floor and cry.
And then I see.
Laugh hysterically not only.
You make me feel.
Truly deeply loved.
You don’t just say you care.
Because it is the right thing to say.
You really care.
About me.
And do all you can.
To let me know that.
That means
So much to me.
Sometimes, people just have a way with words....
Look at praying.
For example,
What if
You had given up?
Think of all the times
We talked and you said
You just couldn’t do it.
What if
You had continued
To tell yourself that?
Or with Provo?
What if you had let yourself
Continue to think that you
Could never get in?
It is at the times
When our trials
are upon us.
When our gaze is directed
To the floor.
That we must be strong.
And lift our head.
Fixating our eyes
On heaven.
Sometimes, people just know what to say.....
In the long run,
Our eternal salvation
Is not based
On the grade we get
In chem, or bio, or even Book of Mormon.
It is based
On our faithfulness, and our ability
To keep the commandments.
By staying strong,
In our spiritual life
We are prepared
For the things in regular life
That will bring us down.
If we make sure
To spend our time
Increasing our testimony,
Heavenly Father will
Magnify our time
In all other things.
Trust in Him.
Follow His promptings
Follow His promptings
And guidance.
And you,
Will never make a wrong choice.
