Judge not your neighbor till you've been in his place -Hillel

I'M BACK!!!

Its been so nice coming back to Idahome and catching up with family and friends. I have missed them all dearly. And while I am stoked to be home and cannot wait to get back into the swing of things, things are getting difficult. These next two weeks are going to be trying. With me being, well, a girl and all, my mind is constantly working at a million mph. And usually, that isn't good. In two weeks, one of my best friends will be coming home, and I couldn't be happier! However, that also means it has become overthinking central over here. My emotions are going up and down, up and down, sometimes all within a few hours. So we will see how it all works out with that.... Cross Your Fingers :)

Aside from the boy issue, moving back to Idaho has presented many different individual struggles for me. With my new membership into my church, I feel like i'm learning all the time. It's hard; it's hard to learn new doctrine, and hard to learn new rules, and new ways of life.  And while I love my friends so immensely, most of them do not understand the situation that I am in. For example, it may be easy for someone who's grown up in the church to go without coffee. But, I do not have that same connection. I am trying to hard to stop, but it's a process. Seriously though, sometimes your body is just so tired that it is necessary... I think having a coffee every once in a while when it is desperately needed is ok. It's just as bad as consuming an energy drink in the same conditions!! I don't know... maybe I just don't have that emotional tie to it. Just one silly little example, but it just showcases how difficult it is to transtition into this new culture. Furthermore, I am so thankful to my Florida friends because a large handful of them actually have been in my place, as a new member. I love these friends so much and I'm gonna miss them greatly... I already do.

I'm in a funk. I cannot get out of it; this feeling of low-ness and seclusion.... I hate these moods and these "stupid girl emotions."

This was such a positive and uplifting post today! :)


Until Next Time.
