Destiny? Fate? True Love.

DISCLAIMER: I am a Mormon. I believe marriage is eternal, and that it is absolutely perfect to be married in the temple to the man you know is right for you.

This is a shirt my friend made me for my birthday last year. I love it.

Every once in awhile I freak out because I don't know how I am feeling. I'm not trying to sound like some freak who has to be aware of everything at all times, but usually I at least like to know how I feel.
 
Today I am feeling romantic? I don't know what word to use. Now this isn't some "Oh my goodness I love you because you are the perfect boyfriend" kind of feeling, partially because I don't have a boyfriend so that wouldn't really workout. But today I was discussing with one of my really good friends about Destiny, Fate, and True Love.

He and I have always had a connection with these words because for some reason we used to believe that we were perfect for each other. Oh our innocent minds. Frequently, we like to discuss what went wrong in our "relationship" but today we discussed why he doesn't believe in destiny or fate anymore (It's because of me. He even told me if i had asked him a year and 2 weeks ago he would have still believed. Side note: We broke up a year ago last Saturday). He still believes in true love though so he hasn't been completely brainwashed by reality. As for me though, I still like to believe in fairytales(yes, I do know and believe it is completely wrong for me to compare boys to books and TV but I get over it because I want to be a kid again).

I could give you full details as to why my male friend and I are just friends now(which would help you understand why he doesn't believe in destiny and fate anymore), but that is a story that I kind of like to keep secret. Either way though, our relationship went sort of along the same idea as 500 Days of Summer.


Destiny, as most of us know, is believing that something happened for a specific reason. Fate has the same meaning, but he and I have always considered it to have a different meaning, when in our heads the meaning is the same.

Up until recently, he has believed that destiny is meeting the person you were predetermined to be with, then fate would be the part where you get married and finally experience true love. But considering all of the divorces and horrible marriages, he now thinks we choose who we fall in love with.
I still believe there are certain people we are supposed to become matched with. It's destiny that you finally meet "the one", it's fate that you fall in love, an it's true love when the couple decides to work on the relationship for the rest of eternity in order to stay together.

Based off of divorces though, I infer that people forget what it's like to love their spouse as much as they did the day they got married. When we don't remember the happiness, it's hard to stick around for the difficult parts. It's scientifically proven, but I think everyone should work for an eternal marriage and constantly remind their spouse of their wedding day. I'm positive it would help.
I'm pretty sure nobody actually knows, but at the same time, my friend and I are both hopeless romantics who obviously have no lives(considering we were debating this for 2 hours).

What are your thoughts on Destiny? Fate? True Love?

This girl right here is my all time best friend. She has the craziest/coolest style, and I will admit she has helped me develop mine! (btw I think Fall this year is all about different band tshirts made cute with jewelry, sweaters, and flannels for me) Anyways, I love her to death and am super sad because she is moving to San Jose next week!! I'm gonna miss her and her awesomeness entirely, and I might possibly suffer from a minor concussion, but no big deal right?

Here we are in our Gloriousness at EFY this Summer:

And here we are on our Biology trip to the San Diego Zoo this past June:

I'm gonna miss her and her style inspiration so much this upcoming high school year! She and I met last Summer playing Volleyball for high school, and we realized we had been on the same tour(it was a 2 family tour) in February of the school. It's pretty neat looking back and remembering the different dances we were both at, and trying to remember if we had seen eachother or danced with eachother's friends. P.S. if anyone was wondering, she is single at the moment :)

It's almost over!!

I have ONE-1-uno full day of school left!! My year went by too fast!! ahhh well I still have next week though(FINALS.. Oh Joy). I have loved every minute of my freshman year, and can't wait for the upcoming one.. SOPHOMORE!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyways, that's why I haven't posted recently while I finish my last minute projects that I actually haven't procrastinated on(That's a first for this whole year). Well as you can tell I am just trying to write this very fast, sooooo Have a great weekend everyone!

Malfunction Monday: One of Those Crazy Days

Memorial Day is today!! For those of you who weren't aware.. Any family traditions you have for memorial day? Most families in SoCal always go to the beach, but my family goes to my grandma's house every year to celebrate my Great-Grandma's birthday. It's a great excuse to get the family together on a holiday! Today I never really put on regular clothes and ended up wearing the red suit I had posted a picture of on a previous post(Unfortunately I have no pictures of me actually wearing the suit today, but I'm sure in the near future there will be). Let me tell you one thing about this suit: I ABSOLUTELY AM IN LOVE WITH IT!!! And the bright red makes me so excited to wear it to the beach... Ahh the beach... If only school was already out and it was summer. That's still a few weeks away though, so I might as well enjoy the last part of my Freshmen year in High School. I hope everyone' Memorial day was uber fantastic and don't forget to remember the troops who are helping fight the war!!
