Music is my Therapy

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY SISTER!!! How on EARTH are you 20 years OLD!?!? Is that even LEGAL??? Oi. I'm so old! This is my YOUNGER sister people!!! I am so thankful that I get to call my sister my friend. We genuinely enjoy spending time with one another. We love to laugh together, we reminisce about our favorite memories we've made, we love to eat together! We are "food" buddies! When one of us is in the mood for food (usually ice-cream) the other is always willing to "go along for the ride!" I love the bond that we share. I love that we can talk about anything. I love my sister and am so grateful to have her in my life! Birthday Dedication Song: Sweet Creature Artist: Harry Styles I'm dedicating this song to my sister today because she truly is a "sweet creature." She is loving, thoughtful, humble, kind and sweet. Also, she loves Harry Styles and this is her favorite song off his new record. We also think it's funny and like

Song: Stranger in Moscow Artist: Michael Jackson Alone. Sad. Angry. Anxious. Confused. Depressed. Tired. Tears. Numb. Frustrated. Done. I. Hate. Who. I. Have. Become. I hate that I can't communicate my thoughts. My feelings. My emotions. My pain. I hate that I feel trapped. Stuck. I hate that I feel like I don't belong. Here. Anywhere. "Mask of life, feelin' insane ... Sunny days seem far away ... How does it feel When you're alone and you're cold inside? ... Happy days will drown the pain ... I'm living lonely." I was wandering in the rain Mask of life, feelin' insane Swift and sudden fall from grace Sunny days seem far away Kremlin's shadow belittlin' me Stalin's tomb won't let me be On and on and on it came Wish the rain would just let me How does it feel (How does it feel) How does it feel How does it feel When you're alone And you're cold inside? Here abandoned in my fame Armageddon of th

Song: My Dad, Daddy's Homecoming & Redeemer Artist: Primary Children's Songbook & Stephen Sharp Nelson, Grace I would like to wish my wonderful father the HAPPIEST OF FATHER'S DAY! My dad is the most amazing man alive. He has a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone, especially this family. He is the hardest working person I know. It's always one thing after another with him! From work to his church calling to yard work to teaching my brothers how to perfect their sport he is always going, going, going! My dad is an incredible example of patience, optimism and true charity. He never judges anyone and will always find the good in people and in life. I love him so much and I am so grateful for all that he has done for me! He has been my rock and someone who is always there helping me through my challenges. Even if he doesn't always understand some of the things I am going through he is 100% supportive and works tirelessly to help me find relief. He

I have procrastinated writing this post because honestly, I have no words. Hanson Day 2017 was hands-down one of the BEST experiences/weekends/trips of my entire LIFE!!! I had the most AMAZING. FANTASTIC, SPECTACULAR TIME!!! Things could not have gone better! I had a BLAST! Hanson Day was better than I could have ever imagined!! I'm still having major withdrawals (and it's been TWO WEEKS! ). I want to go back!!! I will cherish these memories and pictures for a life time! It was a dream! I have no words! In a nutshell, here is the gist of my trip. There is no way I can even begin to try to describe the pure bliss and sheer  JOY I felt. I am so incredibly grateful to have had experienced this adventure! That my sweet and amazing sister sacrificed so much to go with me. We both agreed this was one of our favorite road trips EVER! I will never, ever forget it!! All of my silly doubts and worries were the imaginations of an anxious girl who has never taken a risk. And now
