I've discovered

To say the least, today has been eventful. And to think, all I did was wake up and work 8 hours. Even if physically all I did was show up at work, my mind was, and still is, buzzing about so many things. I've discovered a lot today. It's wonderful when you learn something! But, I've discovered a lot about myself that I haven't realized in the past. I really have come to dislike Satan. I have really become intolerant of drama of any kind. It irritates me when someone doesn't see how truly blessed they are. I am disappointed when someone is okay with being taken advantage of, over and over and over again. All of these things have to do with other people through my eyes. Well, except Satan. I get to deal with him everyday, and I still dislike him. But, everything else... everything else I found through someone else's life. I've discovered that it's my problem. It's my problem if I think someone isn't living to their fullest potential, and it's my problem if someone doesn't mind being taken advantage of, over and over and over again. If they are okay and stable in their life, I have no right to criticize them. I've discovered the few people who I would give my life if they asked, regardless of any lack of feelings I may encounter. I've discovered that my few closest friends are some of the most incredible people I have ever had the blessing of meeting, let alone befriending. I've discovered that I am very protective of my loved ones, to a point of getting ugly.

I've discovered that there is someone out there entirely devoted to me, and I didn't ask him to be. I've discovered that if we all swallow our pride, relationships are the easiest things and the most enjoyable experiences that I have ever witnessed. I've discovered that I honestly have a very high tolerance level, but can only handle so much.

I've discovered how much I truly love working with animals and how I view them as family members. I've discovered that animals are living life the way it ought to be, while humans dramatize and over-exaggerate every detail of time. I've discovered that I want to be able to work with animals in my future.

I've discovered that children also have a deeper sense of how life should be lived. They aren't afraid of anything. They take the world as it comes to them. They explore, and they live day to day to their fullest potential. I've discovered that I want to be able to work with children in my future.

I've discovered that I want to try majoring in Child Development and minoring in Animal Science at BYU-Idaho.

I received an email today from someone very dear to my heart. It was an apology for something they had said and did earlier in the day. Reading that email, I discovered that I was wrong too. I discovered that things only bother me if I let them affect me. I discovered that I truly love this person with my whole heart, and for eternity to come that I will be by their side, regardless of where the Lord takes us on our paths.

This person found a quote and sent it to me. I want to share it with you, in hopes that it touches your heart, like it did mine.

"What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful."

I love you. Forever and always.
