Let Go!

Hey guys! Just wanted to say WAT UP? And also some more things that I've been thinking about lately.
The topic I want to speak on is letting people go. There are some people in your life that honestly don't make you a better person. Just admit it! As much as you want to keep them in your life, you've got to just let them go. Whether its a boy who makes you insecure and CRAZY, a relative who just brings you down, or just an old friend who just doesn't make you feel good. You've got to let them go. It may sound hard (because maybe you really LIKE that boy, or maybe that relative can be nice SOMETIMES) but if its making you sad, or its making you not yourself, you've just got to move on. I think that having certain people in your life that don't encourage you to be the best, are really unhealthy for you to have around. Happiness is what I think we're all aiming for in life, right? Well, to be happy, we've got to put the negative things out of our lives. Even if it may hurt for a minute. You'll soon see that once you get those negative nancy's away from you, you'll become a lot happier! I hope you understand what I'm sayin. I'm not saying go tell that person "HEY! I never want to see you again" Just keep your distance.. (in a nice way??) hahah Okay I don't make any sense. Whatevs!!!!!!
Bye bye.

The Help

Wow.
WOW. Thats all I can say. I just saw the movie "The Help" and seriously I can't begin to tell you how amazing it was. This is the type of movie that makes me want to go into filmmaking. A movie that makes you FEEL something. A movie that inspires you to be a better person. I don't know what hit me so hard when I watched it, but it has given me this new drive. I want to go into filmmaking and make movies that motivate people to be the best that they can be. I want to make movies that make you think, and make you evaluate your life and say to yourself "hmm, what can I do to be better?" I just feel like I have potential, and I just need to get the proper education and training. I'm motivated!! You know what? I'm going to follow my dreams (as cheesy as that sounds). I want to make a difference, even if its the smallest difference in the world. I will accomplish things in this life. The only thing thats holding me back, is, well myself. I just turned 22 and ya know what? Its a new year for me. I'm going to grab a hold of it (my life) and mold it into what I want it to be.

If you want something go try and get it! Thats what I'm about to do! I'll let ya know how things work out, pinky promise.

WHATS WRONG WITH ME???!!!

Whats wrong with me?

A question I'm sure many of you have asked yourself.  But I think we need to change that question to: Whats right with me?

Look. Look at yourself in the mirror. There are so many "right" things about you. For instance, I love my eyes. I'm really happy my parents gave them to me. Another thing I really like is my hair. I mean yes it has split ends, but I'm okay with that! I like the length and the color.  Find five things you like about yourself appearance wise. I know you can do it. GO!

And while your looking at yourself in the mirror, think about how lucky you are that you have vision! (sorry if you don't........) We are SOOO lucky to see the beautiful world. Sunsets, sunrises, stars, moon, clouds, trees, flowers, fish, cars, ANYTHING! We get to see those things. We are lucky.

Now listen. Do you hear that song playing in the background? YEP! You can hear things too? Wow! Amazing! What would we be without the joy music brings us? Honestly I think the world would be much more depressed. Being able to hear your family's voice, or being able to hear the rain is such a blessing.

EW do you smell that? I'm pretty sure you're in the bathroom right now looking at the mirror and it probably smells like shizzz but remember the time when you smelled that delicious food earlier? (be creative) aren't you happy we can smell? I love scents so much. I have probably 1000million perfumes and lotions. I just love smelling good. I just love smelling period. (except when I'm in the bathroom. sorry)

My point of this post is yeah, maybe you think everything is wrong with you, but I'm pretty sure there are a lot more things that are right about you. Find the things in life that are going to make you happy and "dwell" on them! Don't think about the negative. ESPECIALLY if you can't change it. If you can change it, then try working on it step by step. I believe in you if that counts for anything. I've changed a lot in the past few years and I'm really happy about it. So I believe you can change if you really want to. BUT if you can't change it, then accept it and try and start liking it. OWN IT!

Anyways, done blog blogging. Bye bye.

Ps my best friend May got baptized. She's the one in the bottom picture. (this is what I wore)

Being Nice

I hope what I'm about to write doesn't come off as "i think I'm perfect and make no mistakes" because I really don't want it to come off like that. I just have a few things to say. So, if you want, keep reading.

BEING NICE. Seems simple enough, right? RIGHT! It IS simple. Yet there are so many mean people in this world, sometimes it makes me want to cry. I just feel like why is there need for people to be so dramatic and awful to each other? Why do we look at other people and think, hmm, I can break down their self esteem and really get under there skin if I say this ____________ (insert something mean) I don't understand why we feel the need to make fun of other people, or just say horrible things about each other. I'll be honest,  I gossip about people. I do. It doesn't make me feel good though. It makes me feel like a gross and ugly person. But yet I continue to do it. WHY? WHY!!#@$#%#???

I'm going to make a personal goal, right here, and right now. To stop with the mean{ness} and just be the postive, nice person I've always wanted to be. I hope I never come off as rotten to any of you guys. I really want people, {when or if they ever think about me} to say, man Arielle is the nicest girl! She makes me smile she's so nice!

That may be the cheesiest thing ever, but its true. I want people to only have good things to say about me. I'm going to try and just accept and love everyone! Cause really, I definitely shouldn't be casting judgements on others when I'm so imperfect myself.

Anyways, I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to say. Being nice makes you glow. It makes you more beautiful. It makes people want to be around you. And it makes people LOVE you! I'll love you if you're nice! (not that it would make one bit of a difference :)

Once again, I know I have so much to fix about myself. So here I go!! Off to being the nicest person I can be! I love you! Sorry if I've ever been a dumby towards you. I'm only human?.... ( I guess thats my excuse)

P.s. I recorded a song, but I'm feeling insecure so sorry! haha! I won't be posting it... one day though!

Sea Of Love- Thrifting.singing.happy.life.

Hello all you cool cats out there. I'm back again, for another daily round of ______________ (insert cool word or anything at all.)

How are you guys? You never talk to me so I never know. Talk to me for once weirdo's.

Anyways I went shopping! At D.I. that is.
Here's what I picked up.

The first Item I got was this blue top. I think its pretty cute. (better in person!) I added the black little tie thingy. Its just some binding (sewing term) that you can pick up at Wal Mart or Joanns Fabric.

The Second thing I got was also  a blue top. Its ruffely fun! wow. I'm not cheesy in the least. I don't know about the sleeves, I like them, but at the same time I don't know if its too much. So I may end up cutting off the sleeves and just wearing this top with a cardigan. EH. We'll see. If you wanna know how I do this fun scarf just let me know! Its super easy and you can make one yourself!

 Last but not least a more modern peice. Just a simple blue dressy top thing. I put on a black skirt to make it a little longer, but I don't know how I feel about it. I might just end up wearing it with jeans because believe me its the shortest thing ever without that black skirt under it. KILL SHORT THINGS!

OH I also decided to leave you with a little love from myself. I sang another song! And played my Uke. I hope you dig it! Maybe I'll start singing more... I dont know!

LOVE YOU BYE BYE NOW!

Whatever I want to be.

A few sundays ago I was taught a wonderful message in Relief Society. It was on being whatever you want to be. & doing what you want to do. It serioiusly gave me the chills. {chills=spirit} I'll be honest, I am not the most active person in church. Yes, I go every sunday, but I don't have a strong testimony. BUT the past few weeks I've been trying so hard to see if I can gain one. I want to know for myself if the LDS church is true. If what I've been taught my whole life is true. I've questioned it for about a year, but never actually taken the time to pray to god to find out. ANYWAYS OFF TOPIC! Okay, what I was going on about was I felt the spirit really strongly. Like it kinda took over me for a second. I felt happy, despite the fact that earlier that day I wasn't. What I wanted to blog about was taking chances.

When I moved to West Virginia I knew no one. Not a soul. It was quite the exhilerating experience. I was taking a chance on being miserable for a year. BUT I had a positive attitude and felt good about the decision to move. Whilst in WV I really grew up. Maybe no one can tell from the outside, but I felt a change in myself. It taught me REAL independence. Not just moving a couple hours away (previously moved to Rexburg for a while) but being legitimetly far far away from anyone I knew. I found myself when I was there. (YES I spent many a night alone) I also got mostly rid of my anxiety. Before I went there I was terrified of things. Terrified of meeting new people, terrified of guys, terrified of a lot of silly things that a person shouldn't think about. Luckily I got over that when I was living there. I am so thankful to god for that. I became way more active in the church and enjoyed getting to know all of the wonderful people in my ward.

ANYWAYS I ALWAYS GO OFF ON TANGENTS!

Anyways guys, through taking chances I've become a better person. I've taught myself to not be afraid of LIVING!!! I went to NYC twice! I flew all over actually, it was quite a blessing. I got to see many different parts of the U.S. and I loved every second of it. Since being home in Utah i've taken A LOT of chances. Things I wouldn't have normally done, I've started doing. Talking with people that I wouldn't have ever thought of talking to, learning things, going to institute. etc etc.
Anywho, all I'm trying to get at is to take chances. Don't be afraid of the outcome. Talk to people who you want to talk too, go places you wanna go to, DO what you want to. Don't listen to anyone but yourself (and maybe god if you are religious :) ) LIVE LIVE LIVE! I may not always be 100%  positive but I try my hardest not to let negative things bother me. I mean I still get so angry at certain people that drive me crazy, but I don't let it get to me! Because they are not deciding my happiness for me! I am! I am. (repeat the second part in cheesy calm voice)
Anyways, if you don't think anyone loves you in this world, just know that I do. Even if I don't know you. Because there's too much hate to go around. I just decided that right now, I'm going to love everyone!!!!!!!!!!!
I can do that guys. I can.

BYE BYE FOR NOW!
