LADIES WHO HIKE TOGETHER, STAY TOGETHER

In the midst of feeling alone:
I went to the mountains, I knew that I had to escape Provo for a little while, so I did what any sensible girl of my age would do, I left, and I adventured off to Sundance. These amazing women in my church put together a little outing at our Bishops cabin. One of those amazing women would be Michelle. She's one of those people that you just feel instantly connected with. In a lot of ways, there are certain people you meet in your life, and I sit here and wonder why we get to have the immense blessings of having specific people to grace our lives, and then I can't help but think how close we were in Heaven, and maybe the promises we made to help each other once we came to Earth.
As Michelle and I talked about life while walking through the dirt paths of the mountains, and the trials of womanhood, ahem, more like dating, I expressed how I felt that I was stubborn when it came to the kind of person I wanted to end up with, and be. Honestly in that moment I began doubting myself, but very quickly and with honesty in her eyes, Michelle looked at me and very bluntly said, "You're not stubborn, you're determined" And when thinking about it, that's really the truth of the matter. I know who I am, who I want to be, where I want to go, and where I am. There's nothing wrong with being confident and being determined with what you want out of life. Those words will forever be dear and close to my heart.
