"all the things I never knew I wanted are here with you."

I finally know what I want and I can't wait to get out there and get it.


I really wish I could pack up my friends and family and take them back to Provo with me. Because I love that place, but I love these people too. I don't want to leave my life here, but I desperately want to get out of this town. My mom told me that once she moved away home was never "home" and I'm beginning to feel that way :(. I'm trying to enjoy my summer back home, but I just keep thinking about what I'm missing...

Maybe I just need a break of this humdrum. Today I signed up for my online class and I'll finally start either tomorrow or Friday (and no, I'm not furthering my procrastination: I already have plans:) ). It's a children's literature class, so basically I just have to read a bunch of books, which I love to do! Best class ever? I'd say so.

And in two weeks I will be spending some quality time with my best friend and future roommate Kyley! I can't wait!!

:D

"There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus solely on the good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy."

Because I Knew You.

I am so grateful for every person that has walked in, and out, of my life. Every experience I have and every person I have met has shaped my life and my understanding of this life. I am absolutely thankful for the hard times I've been through that have strengthened my faith in myself and God. I know that I am Who I Am Today because of all the people and experiences I've had in my life, and for that, I say "thank you."

(Glinda) I'm limited:
Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you -
You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda
So now it's up to you
For both of us
Now it's up to you:

(Glinda) I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you:

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

(Elphaba) It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend:
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you:

(Glinda) Because I knew you:

(Both) I have been changed for good

(Elphaba) And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for

(Both) But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share

And none of it seems to matter anymore

Like a comet pulled Like a ship blown
From orbit as it Off it's mooring
Passes a sun, like By a wind off the
A stream that meets Sea, like a seed
A boulder, half-way Dropped by a
Through the wood Bird in the wood

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better?

(Glinda) And because I knew you:
(Elphaba) Because I knew you:

(Both) Because I knew you:
I have been changed for good.
