my key to happiness.

(picture skills by me, editing also by me)

confused with life? let's be friends.

i would love to help.

three things i literally live for.

1. running.

2. helping people out, being a friend, giving advice.

3. smiling, being happy.

three things that i could not ever live without.

1. my family.

2. the gospel.

3. music.

"being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect,

it means you decide to see beyond the imperfections"

--i took a challenge that started on new year's.

i made a commitment that i wanted to make more friends, be

everyone's best friend, and be kind to everyone.

everyday. no matter what i feel about myself, i walk into school,

saying hi to people i know or don't.

walking down the halls, smiling, talking, associating,

trying to reach out, and make new friends.

let me tell you what this experience has done for me.

i've learned more about myself.

i don't feel awkward when talking to people i don't know.

i try everday to realize what other people need in there life,

a simple smile, hello, or even a high five.

i've grown closer to my savior, and feel his love shine through

me every single day, it feels amazing.

i feel like even if im upset with anything at all, i can turn to being a good

friend for others, smiling, being happy, and caring, not only improves my day,

but others also.

by bringing in a kind, happy and loving spirit, i feel more close to others.

i am not afriad to be myself.

i am not afraid to stand up for what i feel is right.

i love being me.

i love smiling.

i love being happy.

i love being imperfect.

i love having trials.

i love knowing that i can make someone's day better.

but most of all,

i love trying to make a change,

even a small one, if that at all.

never try too hard to impress someone else.

do what you love. love what you do.

there is no one out there like you.

you will be loved because your not afraid of who you are.

be you.

and don't change for anyone.
