happiness is in the little things

//all the disney original movies
//cookie dough ice cream for days
//the Washington D.C temple
//opening the mailbox and finding handwritten letters just for you
//late night talks with friends
//when a guy holds the door for you
//going to the movie theater and buying movie theater popcorn
//monday emails from all the missionaries
//roses
//exploring new cities
//running down hotel hallways late at night
//hiking in the mountains
//perfect make-up days
//heart-to-hearts
//laughing so hard it hurts
//learning about personalities
//planners
//clean sheets
//long phone calls
//jumping in puddles
//walking past a stranger and then being surprised when they greet you with a cheerful hello
//"I love you" texts from my mom
//sleepovers in my room with my sisters
//my dad's sense of humor
//homemade white chicken enchiladas
//dancing dancing dancing
//the lizzie bennet diaries
//meditation
//Elevation
//great mentors who are also your best friends
//the smell of a new book
//sharpie fine tip pens
//stupid tumblr posts on pinterest
//musicals
//re-reading old chat conversations from the burger days
//fruity perfumes
//shooting stars
//spoken word poetry
//home
//spinny hugs
//winning first place
//the smell of rain
//Sunday afternoon naps
//a sink with no dishes
//decorating a room
//when a friend becomes a best friend
//the playlist on pandora is spot on
//gorgeous wedding receptions
//when you get your homework done early
//picking out the perfect gift
//roadtrips

falling and flying

Sometimes life doesn't just hand you lemons, but decides to chuck them at your face and then push you off a cliff just for fun. And I guess then, at that point, it's your choice to keep falling or spread the wings you didn't think you had and fly up towards the stars among all the wishes and hopes of humanity floating to heaven.
