Greatest time of my life: my life/ friends/ summer are better than yours.

Today I was talking with madalyn and Stephanie about how different I had become since my breakup. We had decided that while I was in it, I was bland and, quite frankly, rude. But since I gave it up, I have become my own me, someone who is fun and is learning to let go. That person held my potential back so bad, and I regret not giving us both the opportunity to grow and have fun separately much sooner.
I'm happy to say I don't regret a single thing that's happened since February; things all happen for a reason. Maybe the reason this all happened was so that I could meet Sam, someone who is teaching me so much I didn't think I'd ever have the chance to learn. I think he's really going to help me be more open- minded about the world and the people and their views.
But mostly, I realized how AMAZING it is to two girls in my life who are willing to do anything for me; to always be there for me, whether that be in good times or bad. Having girls like that are what make my life, and every bad thing in it, worth it. They get me through every single day :) and I've seen that life is just better if I stick with them; no boys, taking pictures, making memories, and planning our futures together :)
None of this would be happening to me if one little person hadn't had the guts to say 'let's be done'. My breakup was the beginning of the happiest time of my life :) :)

Tah.

To you

No one should go through what I did. But you did it to me.. Doesn't seem fair. And you keep doing it.
It's fine, though :) I'm over him, the relationship, you, and every hurt feeling I had.
Thanks for making my life hard so I could appreciate the happy time I'm having now :) because life hasn't been this great... Well, ever :)
Have a great life with him. The boy I knew was great, so this one is probably okay, too.

Ps. I didn't read your blog, I heard about it. I won't read your blog, so this whole sub-posting wont work.


Have a great life.

...and she didn't know what to say, so she shut the door and ran away.

We. Are. Adorable.

Successful day at deer creek!! I love my friends :)

He broke my heart... I'm over it!

Thanks for putting out emotions into beautiful artwork, steph!! Couldn't have said it better myself!!

SUMMER LOVIN

It has been THE best summer in the history of my many summers!

Today I went up the canyon with my best friends :) and um... We are freaking hilarious.

My goodness!

So this is why God gives us hard times! I would not appreciate this had I not just got out of one of the toughest times in my life.
I am so GRATEFUL for this past week... What!? It's only been a week?? It seems like we've known each other for.. I don't know, but a long time.
Hearing someone say they think I'm beautiful is something I didn't know I missed so much.. But I did. I needed to hear it.
He's a good kid :) despite what he thinks, he is; just a few mistakes, mistakes that can be taken care off. That's not a deal breaker for me because he's nice! Have you ever heard of a nice boy? I have, but not one that's been interested. Not one that literally made me forget that boy, that Chloe, that past.. A boy who can get me through a whole week with not one tear shed. (I haven't cried once this whole week. I found an old note saved on my phone, and I didn't even hurt when I read it. I could look at it and just say, wow, that was a time I am so glad I no longer live in).
Thank you Heavenly Father for giving me my dawn in that darkest hour :)
