sorrynotsorry

To the people that think they control the world: no one appreciates it and everyone wishes you'd just stay out of everyone's business and act casual. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

Sincerely, me and everyone else. Especially me.

bottled up, I bursted tonight

I believe that I'm not the type to complain outside of my family and I believe I have a personality that doesn't really show what's going on inside my life. There was a time when I didn't really let my feelings out. You could say that I bottled things up, excessively. I still do, about many things. Maybe it's just my personality to bottle things up. Maybe what I think to be significant is really just minor and silly. Maybe not.

I exploded today, just barely really. Have you ever woken up from a nap and have had a strong emotion? Whether it be happiness, relief, stress, etc. I woke up sad and I felt tears making their way. Nothing was wrong, nothing was drastically in ruin in my life. So, why? Why did I have the urge to cry? Why did I turn down my friends when they wanted to hang out? Why didn't my parents attend a Christmas party I was a part of? Why wasn't I happy? Why was I reminiscing on the video we watched in Spanish about kids who were placed in difficult and rash situations? Why do they have to suffer when I have the splendors of a home, family, and education? Why was I sad the same week I recognized how unfair it is for me to be sad when others have more reason to be sad than I do? Why?

I tried calling the only friends I really wanted to be with, the only ones I'd feel comfortable crying in front of. They were busy too.

When my emotion bubble burst, my tears were with no cause. Yes, I miss my brother but how odd for me to cry when he is having the time of his life. Yes, my parents didn't come, but I knew they weren't in the mood and I had somehow neglected them. My thoughts rushed to my religion for comfort. I admit, I didn't feel as if I could talk to my parents. My tears ended. My makeup survived. My hair was still curly as ever. I felt somewhat better, only for a moment.

I decided to talk to my dad. I planned to ask him to go on a drive with me but when I approached him, more tears pushed forward. Why? He comforted me simultaneously while I cried on his shoulder. Thank you. That's all I have to say. Thank you.

I'm better now. I still haven't come to the root of my tears, only branches.

In essence, I just complained to you on this blog. I'm sorry. I understand that I'm not the only one to have nights like these, whether it be moments of distress paired with tears or feelings of anger and confusion, we each have times when we aren't feeling what our general and default emotions are, sometimes we even feel alone. We're not the first ones to experience these type of nights, nor will we be the last. I recognize that only a few select people know about this blog, and within that circle is a fraction of people who actually read my entries. Speaking to that fraction : I know you, and I want you to know that when you feel out of sorts, even lonely, I'm only a call away. Just like I know that I could've called you tonight if I had to. Thank you.

tradition

Since Chloe was gone during Fall Break we decided to have Friendsgiving on last Friday. For everyone who doesn't know what Friendsgiving is : it's Thanksgiving, but with friends. It started last year when I had the idea and Chloe came up with the name. We continued it this year and even though it's only been the 2nd year, I really love Friendsgiving. This year we had it at Chloe's and we set the table, everyone brought something, and we even put our phones away for the course of the meal. We didn't go around and say what we were thankful for which is okay because it wasn't a formal evening but I kinda wish we had. If we had I probably would've said something along the lines of "I'm thankful for my family, friends, and Sparky" nothing big, a lil bit cheesy. Just how we like it. Anyways, Roman suggested and actively encouraged to do Secret Santa this year, so at the end of the dinner we pulled out names (Roman, Abby, Chloe, Josee, Emma, and me.) I won't say who I got, but I am very pleased with who was designated to me ( I just picked the last name in the bowl.) So with Friendsgiving, I officially announce the closing of the Thanksgiving season and the state of limbo that Bountiful is currently in. 



By that I mean that there is no snow, no fall colored leaves, and no rain. Needless to say, I feel out of place when I listen to Christmas music (I don't know what to do with myself.) I'm fine with having no snow, I just hope that we have snow on Christmas Day. I'm pretty sure God knows that Christmas is better with snow, but for now I'm dreaming of a White Christmas. It's also coincidence that the windstorm is picking up around the same time of last year's. It was a windstorm that got me and my friends out of school and caused many trees to uproot and sometimes collapse on cars and homes. I'm surprised I even got to see any of the effects in the wind due to the fact that my hair was everywhere. It's almost as if the weather is celebrating it's tradition.
Mmmm a white Christmas. It's not only a dream I have, I'm almost positive it's one that Abel is having too. He's had his first baptism!!! Her name was Tarren and she is beautiful. She's was also baptized with her sister, Kristina. My heart leaps everytime we receive news from him and I just love hearing from my older brother. Like I said before, he's pretty spectacular. I couldn't quite place my finger on what I was going to give him for Christmas this year. Any ideas? I have some, but  eventually I'll figure it out.

There's my entry for the day! Now I'm off to write my letter to Santa..


My friends are great.

the best of friends

Throughout my life I've seen those people that are best friends, but not just best friends, you know what I'm talking about you've seen them before. The type that tell each other everything and spend plenty of time together and post it all on facebook. Well, throughout jr. high I saw a good amount of those friendships but I never really had a solid and trustworthy "best friend." It didn't get to me, and I didn't feel terribly awful, I just realized I didn't have a best friend and for the most part I was okay with that. 

This year, I've been super lucky to pick up great friends, strengthen friendships, annnnnd get a bff :)

Really, I love all people in my life and appreciate my friendships but there are some particular people that are dear to me. I guess my not-so-busy Sunday night and appreciation for my bffs have combined into making this blog so here goes!

my mom. this lady is amazing and she has always been there for me. I love her! There have been times when I have felt "lonely" and gloomy, but looking back my mom has always been there. I'm not ashamed to admit that my mom is my go-to girl, she and I have contrasting personalities but she always has a solution that is to my ultimate best interest and I know she wouldn't care if I got some mascara and tears on her best dress. My mom is a combination of what I am and what I aspire to be. These and many other qualities qualify her for one of my bffs. 

my dad. while we're at it I'll just say how awesome and dandy my dad is. I can honestly say that there has never been a moment when my dad hasn't cared for me, he is always willing to serve and I really am a daddy's girl because I love spending time with him, even when I'm exploding with teenage anger and my roller coaster of emotions. He's always on the lookout for me and I love how he can always make me laugh and smile, even when I ready to cry my eyes out. 

emmie. i love my bff. she's so hilariously awkward it cracks me up and I love her quirky personality. The conversations we have would not make sense to anyone but us and when we got our iPhones (seriously the same weekend) we just sent each other the silliest things. Among having the same phones, we probably have 5 or more articles of clothing that are the same, we didn't even plan it. She also has a blog, you should check it out sometime It's an entertaining read.She was so nice to me when Abel left for his mission and she's like a sister to me. I'm gonna miss her when she's gone for 2 weeks in Florida! She is a truuuuuuuuuue frieeeeeennnd.

maddy. where do I even begin? Our friendship kind of sprouted out of nowhere (I snap chatted her and didn't know that it was a weird thing for me to do until she told me recently). You see, we've known each other since maybe elementary school because of Josee but this year we officially became friends in pre-calc honors. I love this lady. She makes me laugh on end and her personality is matched by none other. She can make me laugh whenever and I trust her with my girl probz. I also had maddy withdrawals when she left me for San Diego this past weekend. She even made a Pinterest board dedicated to our friendship, it's called "Let's Get Fat Together", you're probably dying to read it now. We also have matching outfits and didn't even plan it. If you don't know her, you need to.

abel. is it obvious yet how much I love my brother? It wasn't obvious to me until this summer. He took me all over this past summer, from cliff jumping up at Causey, rope swinging into lakes at Kaysville and Farmington, staying up alll night playing apps on Manny's iPhone and my mom's iPad, jeeping up and all around the B at sunset, late night walks with Sparky, walking by the creek and laughing our heads off at Manny, and literally beating anger and bad feelings out on old machinery multiple times (while screaming at the top of our lungs), midnight runs to in-n-out, jeeping to Flaming Gorge, watching the dark knight rises multiple times, salt lake city sandwich eating, and spending days at the beach up at Pineview to bearing his testimony to me countless times, being a huge example to me, teasing me, and actually spending time with his dorky little sister. There's been many other spontaneous acts (and texts) of kindness and pure crazy adventure that Abel has performed this summer with me. Although I miss him, I'm sooo excited for him in the mission field. This guy is one of a kind and I simply love him. THERE I SAID IT.

danae & katie. I can't write about these ladies separately because both of them, are huge examples to me and I just love them both so dearly. We have spent countless nights giving our abs a workout from the ridiculous laughs we've shared and I don't know why but I feel like if I ever had the urge to dance in a rainstorm, they'd be the first ones I'd call. 

the gal pals. Abby, Chloe, and Josee are my favorite ladies. We all have such strikingly different and contrasting personalities but for some reason, whether it be our friendship that started wayyy back or the adventures and heartbreaks we've shared and encountered together, we always come back together every year and I feel like we may be friends forever. I really love these girls and I feel like in them, I can confide many secrets in. I adore each one of them and their personalities that they contribute to our friendship and I can't imagine what life, jr. high especially, would have been without them. I cherish our friendship!

roman. I'll include him in this blog post for old time's sake, and I know that he hates blogs. I really love Roman, he and I became friends in 7th grade and he has probably made me laugh the most out of all the people in my life. He always has a ridiculous and witty joke to offer and has made me feel really happy in times when I have felt pretty sad. I've confided in him some of my jr. high secrets as he has done with me and he is somewhat of a brother to me. He may not realize it, but his jokes and simple conversations with me have really made my day before. He's a day maker and a nerd, it's simple as that. 

sparky. I could cry, I love Sparky so much. It may sound crazy for me to adore my puppy so much, but he really is my pride and joy. He is such a handsome golden retriever (yes I just used the word handsome) and he is such a day maker. His personality is that of a human's and whenever I see him stretch or yawn or do some dogly thing, I go back to when I was 12 and just got the cutest ball of fur in the whole wide world. I love my puppy and I'm not afraid to say it.

wendy & michelle. my cousins are so fun to hang out with and I really enjoy spending time with them. From the time we've been little, whenever we hang out we are inseparable. We do everything together and we laugh on end. Recently, Wendy had to take care of a fake baby for school, I named him Jay-Z, we laughed, and it was joy. I love my cousins!

There you go! Just some of the special people in my life, note the words "just some" there are many more out there. It's actually really simple, if you're in my life, whatever insignificant or significant role you play I appreciate and love you! And now here are the daily picture posts. 













the qualifications.

this just makes me laugh!


Hope you have a great week!

This Thanksgiving season has been one of actually pondering what I'm thankful for. I didn't eat very much yesterday.

Called To Serve

We dropped off my brother at the MTC today and can I just say, Abel will be missed but my heart is filled with gladness and testimony when I think of the good he will do, particularly in these next two years.

Abel is serving an important calling, and I know that he realizes this. For this reason, I can say with certainty that he will be an awesome missionary.

It is an emotional moment when your brother walks away and heads to do the Lord's work with suitcases in his hands and countless men walking along side him, in the same image. All I did was muster a smile through dripping tears, but I am very thankful to no end that he is leaving to do the Lord's work and I know that tonight, and for many nights to come, he has dedicated himself to the work. What more could I, a younger sister who dearly loves her brother, ask for?

Thank you Abel, for your example.

God be with you til we meet again.

the countdown began

Today something tragic happened, and it caught me by surprise. I glanced at my phone that read October 10th and suddenly I felt old and young at the same time.

[Before I begin, I want you to know that I realize that most of my posts have something related to my religion, but in a way that makes sense because my religion is a massive part of my everyday life and myself individually so hopefully I haven't bored you with all these posts about my religion. And hopefully you won't judge me for loving my church.]

October 10th? Only 14 more days with Abel left. In 14 days I will be an only child {bless my heart} and my big brother will be gone for 2 years. I don't intend for this post to be an "ode to my brother" type of thing, but since this is one of my main emotional relievers this will be a sappy "my big brother is better than yours" sorta post.



^^^^^
that was supposed to be posted a while ago, but I'll address this now. I can't believe Abel's leaving in a week!!! I'm so excited for him and I'm know that he'll be a great missionary. I can't process that he'll be gone for 2 years, that's just crazy for me. I'll be a senior when he comes back and he'll be all old. Where did our childhood go???



the good ole days

simply great

Those 2 words basically describe my weekend. On Friday I went to the game then off to Emmie's, we enjoy our phones way too much.

On Saturday morning my family watched the first session and it was announced that girls can leave at 19 for their missions and that boys can leave at 18!!! Such good news from the Prophet. Some conference news that really touched my family was the announcement of the Arequipa, Peru Temple. I cannot express how much it makes me happy to hear that there will be a temple in my hometown, it will be the third temple in Peru! It seemed to me that conference went by quick this year, is that just me?

Well after conference Saturday I went shipping and got an ugly Christmas sweater (score!) And then my mom and I went shopping, in the evening Chloe came and picked me up and I had the greatest time with my friends, we drove all around b-town, got hot chocolate, courtesy cones, and horchata :) we went up to great sightseeing places on the hill and stargazed throughout. I also got sick from the very cold night, but that's okay!

On Sunday, Jake came over and we had a huge breakfast while we watched Sunday conference, after a walk in between with some neighbors and our dogs we watched the last session and then of course The Best Two Years.

What's really struck me this conference was that my big brother is leaving soon. As in less-than-a-few-weeks soon..... don't tell him but I will miss him so much, but that's okay because I know he will be doing the Lord's work and that's all that matters to me. Especially with Jake, I realized how many young men I know that will be leaving earlier than planned and its weird for me to think that Manny has been serving for more than a month now. I highly respect all missionaries, I KNOW that it's the right thing for a young man to serve, no matter what the struggle is. And... I am sincerely considering going on a mission now. I think I will. Yes, I'll do whatever The Lord wants me to do.
and here is a link to the general conference sessions! they are all great!

something even newer

the good kind :)
I got an iPhone today!!! The totes awk Verize Vize dude flirted with me and it was hilarious. I am so lost in what I should download, where to start?!

My brudda and some of my neighbors all had a group date and I had to walk through their date-ness to the door when I went babysitting. Über awkward. I hope they didn't think I felt left out, they still are in my house I think. Well this was just meant to be a short blog post!

peace out.

boring adventures

I threw on some jeans, put my hair in a messy ponytail, and drove over to Josee's with Kobe on Saturday night. I must've been a sight to see. We didn't watch the BYU/UTE game... but obviously the right team won. {GO UTES} I'm not much of a football addict, actually I'm not a crazy football fan at all, but I do slightly favor the Utes and I think sports games can be exhilarating, which is why I slightly care who won :)

On Sunday, after stake conference, I decided to do something productive... So I made some muddy buddies! I had to use math[skills] and convert the recipe from 9 cups of Chex mix to 7 measly cups. They turned out great, but not fully amazing. No one in my family has really touched them so I have been eating them while on the internet. Healthy, I know. After the seminary fireside, I watched many lame movies on Netflix with mi familia and reminisced on when my dog was a puppy [cue the too cheesy and corny dog movies.]

I have a decent amount of homework tonight and now I am off to chauffeur my mom where she needs to go [the pleasures of having a permit.]

Have a great rest of the day!

current

Today. While everyone is getting ready for the Homecoming dance and doing their day activity, I have been practicing piano for when I [maybe] play at my brother's farewell and drinking plenty of juice. Does that make me an uneventful and boring person? Probably not, I know there are many boys and girls who aren't going to the dance tonight.
In order to spice up this post, I will write on my life currently [prepare yourself.]

My family is a one of a kind conglomeration of random moments of nonstop laughing and trips to new places we haven't been to before. I don't remember anything of my life in Peru, but I do remember living in the exciting downtown of SLC. B-Town is where my brother and I basically grew up, however. It's where he and I went/go to jr. high and high school. It's where we've had many adventures, why am I talking about my family and B-Town? One reason may be that today, my parents and I made the "invitations" for Elder Chavez's farewell. It's crazy how time flies. Abel was called to the New Mexico Farmington mission [and he'll probably kill me for posting about this] and sometimes it really hits me that I'll be an only child for 2 years! My friend Emmie brings it up every time we talk about his mission (I hope I don't become a brat). It's very likely that I'll be playing one of our favorite hymns "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" at his farewell and he knows that I have the music for it but I don't think he knows that I'll play it for sure, so don't tell him! I'm trying to surprise him. Well, I guess I don't even know if I'm playing it for sure also.

Another recent thing is the beginning of my sophomore year! High school is really enjoyable, I just love how much more "freedom" I get than I ever did in jr. high. I don't really have any uber fun classes, my only real elective is choir. and that's next semester. On the first day of school I'm pretty sure I had the word "sophomore" written on my forehead, and I still feel like I do just a little bit. I'm starting to get the hang of high school and I've made a few new friends. I absolutely love BHS and even though I get a lot of homework, I'm glad the school season started. Thus, my nerdiness.

I think I'm off to get my new phone today. And after babysitting, my night will depend on my decision to dress up or stay in sweats.

peace out.

An Official Brave

whata great turnout. The homecoming football game was so fun, we won [of course!] and I genuinely felt old when I saw jr. high students and elementary kids at the game. It's so weird to think that I will never go back to jr. high [peace out Millcreek], just like it's weird to think that I'll never go to elementary school again.

Anyways, I'm an official B-Town Brave now! I went to the tailgate party, which was basically an early opening of the gates, and I feel legit now. We completely killed it with our football team and I cheered and laughed about throughout the game. 

...I feel like I'm just describing my day to you without any spunk. Well, I guess what this post envelops is the reminiscing of the olden days. bye-bye yesterday. hello today. bye bye seventh grade. hello sophomore year. If I were to give any advice to anyone willing to take it from a girl fresh out of Millcreek it would be: 

  • befriend as many people as you can! A simple "hi my name is _____" goes a long way.
  • get on the good side of your teachers, meaning be a good student! 
  • don't be mean to other people, and don't judge. everyone has a story to tell
  • Freshmen are not that scary! They just feel more confident having gone through similar things you will experience in the next 3 years.
  • challenge yourself academically and "broaden your horizons" (my personal favorite and cheesy educational motivator)
  • be the best you can be, jr. high can really be a great personality builder.
buh bye 7th grade me.

I have much more corny advice, but I'm pretty sure that it would only pertain to the seventh grade me. So I won't go on for now. 

Back to my legit-ness. I'm a Brave!!! It's not that significant, pretty much every B-Town native becomes a Brave. I guess I'm just fixated on the fact that I'm in high school {which by the way is a wayyyy fun experience.} oh my. I wrote another list and I didn't even mean to! I guess I am quite fond of lists. 

bhs represent.
I would post pictures [that aren't from face book] of my face-paint and color-red-filled night, but as of now, my laptop is in the possession of my bro-ski.

Until the next time I will have the urge to blog... good night!

something new

Hi virtual world! I'm Melany and I have decided to start a blog just for the fun of it! This will be more of a public journal and story sharing blog that will take you through my adventures in high school at BHS {first year!} and other things that will happen to me throughout.

 

Just some reasons why I began a blog: 
  1. I've been having a lot of days where I find myself thinking "I wish I had a blog to write in today!"
  2. I love reading other people's blogs, so why not make one of my own?
  3. I wanted something more to do (as if homework and friends weren't enough) with my nights.
  4. To entertain you with the many stories I have and will experience.
  5. And because I think blogging will be fun!
You can probably already tell that I'm a little bit cheesy and overly happy :) Is it [virtually] tacky to have 2 lists in one blog post? Maybe so, but whatever! Here's a list introducing myself:

  1. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
  2. I enjoy the simple things in life such as rainy days, kind gestures, and playing hymns on the piano.
  3. I love making new friends!
  4. I love my family, although sometimes my teenage attitude does not show it 
  5. I have a golden retriever (his name is Sparky) and he is practically a human member in my family, let alone "the baby of the family"
  6. I love driving! I think it's such an exhilarating thing, and I'm in the process of learning stick shift.
  7. I sorta have a bad habit of shopping as much as I can... but hey what teenage girl doesn't?
  8. I love high school! But I have to admit, although everyone regards jr. high as "the dark ages", I loved Millcreek!
  9. I really enjoy learning about my Peruvian culture and I hope to travel back to my home country someday.
