Life is to short to take things seriously.
Everyone always rushes through their days thinking, "I have to do this" or "I need to do that" or "There just isn't enough time". The problem with all of these statements is that there is no enjoyment in them. No one realizes all the little things that happen every day that can make your day.
I recently came across another blog, http://justlittlethings.net/, and it really made me realize how many little things I take for granted. I sat and read every single little thing posted on that blog and I laughed at many of them because they are so incredibly true, it simply took another person to point them out to me. If you get a chance I would recommend reading all of those little things that make you smile.
With all of the business and limited time we think we have in life, I have forgotten to enjoy my little things in my every days.
These are my little things of today, or rather yesterday (August 19):
1. Hitting every green light without anywhere important to go
2. Seeing friends that I haven't seen in a long time
3. The ability to call my sister whenever I need to or want to
4. Love, not the big one, the kind of love for best friends
5. Love, the big one
6. Getting hugs from siblings just because they missed you
7. Living where I do
8. Compliments on things that you think are ugly about yourself
9. Good morning texts
These are just the ones I could think of straight off the top of my head, but I'm sure if i thought hard enough I could think of many more.
Life is to short to take things seriously.
Enjoy your little things, you'll smile more.
That's a promise.

Style is me
Today I made a quick trip to Layton with two of my roommates and it was fantastic. For once, I didn't work so I actually got to get ready today! I did my hair and make up, put in all 7 of my earrings, threw on a fantastic little day dress paired with purple tights and some fantastic black ankle boot heels. One of my favorite outfits if I do say so myself.
Yes, there is a point to what I was wearing.
After we made all of our shopping stops, we went and grabbed a bit to eat at Zuppa's (if you haven't already been, it's a must) before heading back to our little college town. While the other two were still ordering, I went to get a drink and got a comment on how cute my dress was. Well, this minute-making comment was followed by a day making comment.
The comment?
"You are the only person in this state that I have seen dress so cute."
Wow. I won't lie, my confidence was boosted.
I might live in Utah, but that doesn't change who I am. I am a very style oriented person, yet I do it for cheap. The dress from today? $12 at a small shop in Logan that I LOVE! The commenter is from San Francisco, CA (jealous) and I told her that I don't think I am meant to live in this state and that my hope is to one day end up in New York or some other fantastic city as such. Her reply? "You would do fine in the city, I can tell".
This girl, Ashleigh was her name, seriously made my day today. It might be something small, but I really am glad someone notices how I stand out, which I just LOVE to do as a matter of fact.
I don't think I was born to fit in but made to stand out, and I'm okay with that.
I conformed to the "Utah syle" for long enough, not wearing my heels the way I want to or dresses whenever I feel like it, and I'm done conforming. I have my style. It's who I am and part of what makes me me. That's what your life should be. YOURS. Don't let anyone else tell you who to be, how to act, what to say, or what to wear. make those decisions yourself.
I am.
