"The days are long, but the years are short."

I really love this quote. I know that I am one of those people that looks ahead and stresses about the future and doesn't always enjoy the things that are happening *right now*.

So, I suppose that is the whole purpose of this blog. To document my life, and to be able to reflect on the events that are happening. Honestly, there are so many things that happened during high school that I told myself "I will always remember this feeling!". Yeah, guess what? I don't really remember that much, and I've only just graduated about a year ago!

I am 18 years old, and there is so much happening in my life. There is so much change, day to day, week to week.

For a lot of people, when they look at their lives, it all seems to be moving slowly and sometimes it feels like the days are never-ending.

For me, I do that thing where I'll say "Oh yeah! Remember freshman year when this-and-that happened? WAIT THAT WAS ALMOST 5 YEARS AGO WHAT?!" (actual reaction I have in these moments).

So.
The days ARE long.
BUT the years, themselves, are short.

I know starting a blog may not seem like a worthy time investment right now, but I know in 1 year I will thank myself for doing this. That's just, how I am! (:

I should probably introduce myself now...

My name is Alexis, I'm 18 years old and currently residing in Arizona.

I love cinema, literature, television, music, pop culture in general really.

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (I was baptized just over 5 months ago!). I am preparing myself to serve the Lord, and go on an 18 month mission to wherever I am called. Keep me in your prayers, there is quite a bit I have to do to prepare to serve!
There is a basic summary of me. As I continue writing, my story will be told, and I'm just really loving life right now!

I may post a few frustrations here or there, but this blog is not intended for me to be negative and sad. In fact, I'll just, leave this here to close my first post...

 

 

Thanks for reading! Come back soon! :D
