Right now, in my life, I am feeling really good. Just happy. And I'm not talking right now as in this moment or today. I've felt like this all week. It's pretty nice. There are a lot of contributing factors here. I mean, A LOT.
For one, I really am beginning to like college. The longer I'm here, the more I like it. Even the studying part. Although, I will say, I do not, really not, enjoy writing papers. Ugh. However, I have done well on all the tests I've taken thus far, which helped considerably with me liking school.
Also, I love dance. My dance class is the best thing to ever happen in my life. Every week, I go to dance and come away feeling on top of the world. We laugh and work hard and laugh more and eat hot tamales and laugh some more. Plus, dancing in general is great, so put the two together and you have a recipe for a happy girl.
Another thing, guys are really cute and that makes me happy. 'Nuff said.
And of course, my family is so amazing. Every time I go home, I realize how lucky I am to have been born into the family I was born into. College is really fun and I like it a lot, but my family is so great that sometimes, I just don't want to leave. Like today. It's nice to have something to miss.
The last thing is the Gospel. The last little while, I've been on a spiritual down. Church just wasn't seeming too interesting and I didn't really feel like going to all the extra meetings and firesides as much. Starting a little over a week ago, though, something changed. I don't know why or how, but I know that I really like it. I am so grateful to be a part of God's work and to know and feel of His love. It sounds cheesy, but it's true. Knowing that I am His daughter and that He loves me helps me more in my life than anything else. It gives me not only happiness, but peace and strength.
That's the kind of happiness I am feeling right now. The kind that you feel deep in your stomach. The kind that lasts, forever.
