vindicated

i'm going through a phase.

all i want to do is go places. travel. see things. do something.

i meant it when i said i couldn't stop thinking about pres monson's finding joy in the journey talk. i've been focusing a lot on not worrying anymore, especially about things that are totally out of my control. BUT, i don't really believe in the whole "whatever happens, happens" business. we choose where we go and what we do, nothing just "happens." we were given agency for a reason, what a waste it would be to just sit back and let life happen.

and its not just the "big" decisions that matter - its all the little ones that got us to the big decisions in the first place.

"if you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. if you don’t ask, the answer is always no. if you don’t step forward, you’re always in the same place."
