You may be wondering what my title has to do with
anything. Well, as a musician (implying that I am a nerd when it
comes to music) I tell you I just simply had to. I also gave my blog a musical
name, so I must therefore give my posts musical names...
- AND WOAH... did that sound WAY too formal for my liking :) Just playing around with words ;) -
Well, I guess I don't have to give my posts musical names, but none the less, I am creating a unique and fun title for my first post. I chose Nocturne because it is almost midnight, and well... the night :) No 1., because hello?! This is my very first post. I chose D Flat Major because it's my favorite key, and major indicating that it was a great day. Understood?
Well now let's get to what I REALLY meant to talk about...
I am a student here at BYU. Just yesterday, I found out that I didn't make it into the School Of Music, or the Music Education Program. I thought I would be devastated and I think deep down in my heart, I was, but it wasn't that bad of an outcome. I've realized that everything happens for a reason, and now just isn't my time. I could have the worst attitude and complain to you as to why I should have gotten into the program, but that's not who I am. I know that I am a talented, beautiful, girl with lots of potential. I know that there is always room for me to grow and to learn. In the past, I haven't always been that great with being optimistic, but that doesn't mean I can't change now. As I've heard before... "Never Fear! The end of something marks the start of something new." I believe this to be true, although things may be falling apart for me, (not just with this music program, but with other things too) I just need to stand up and keep that smile on my face because I know that life will work out for me in the end :)
I hope that all of you will take that into account as well, that you can always change and become a better person, and know that although life may suck at times, you can choose whether to whine about it, or learn from it and pick up back from where you started. While we are on this subject, might I say that as humans, you have the choice to be happy. You are the only thing that can control your happiness, no one can take that away from you. You just got to have the strength and the confidence to know that you choose how you feel. :) That is something that has taken me a while to realize...
NOW, for the lesson of the day... but first.... AHEM... If you are feeling down and need inspiration I suggest you continue reading as this is a good story...
I just saw Gone Missing here at BYU... (check out this link!)
This show was devised from interviews that mostly took place here in Provo, about real people and real situations. It provides insight into how we relate to the things we lose and the things we find. It could be something as simple as losing a water bottle, to losing a loved one, or getting your heart broken, but the important thing is to relate this show to things you have lost and things you have found.
After watching this show, I have come to realize
that everyone loses something in their life. Recently, I have lost connection
with a friend, a best friend, this friend is still here so do not worry. But, I
know that whatever we had is now gone, and our lives are both changing and they
just aren't connecting with each other at all any more. That friendship we once
had might not ever be found, but that's ok.
People in this world face real problems and
although they lose things, there is one thing you can't lose. And that's
Heavenly Father's love for you. If you follow him, you're guaranteed to never lose him, for he is your friend, and your comforter. He
loves us, and in the end, that's what matters. We learn from the memories, from
the things we lose, the things we find, from people around us, and from stories
we've heard. Although life is hard and things change, if it stayed the same we would never learn. Although I may have lost a friend, and my
camera(which isn't important really, but still...) I haven't lost HIS love, and
I never will, because I choose to follow HIM.
What needs to be remembered in life are the good things, the memories that make you smile and laugh, the memories in which give you joy. Don't think about the bad things, or how things ended, but the moments themselves.
The question to ask now is what did I learn? And has Heavenly Father left me? Answer: NO, he NEVER will :) and HE has better plans for me, as he does for all of you. What I have learned in the past few weeks has inspired me to be a better person, and that is why I share all my thoughts with you, so we can all grow and learn together.
