Color Me Mine

"There are not more than five primary colors, yet in combination they can produce more hues than can ever be seen."

Grab life by the horns. Apply to grad schools you think are outrageous, drink diet coke, knock on a strangers door, and go to Hindu festivals. Life is way too short not to have experiences. Experiences are what makes your life colorful. Dance in your living room to awful music and leave a roommate a random note. I'm starting to understand and appreciate the "five-minute" moments that make life so fun. 

Grades are important, jobs must be worked, and responsibility doesn't go away but none of these matter if you aren't enjoying it. 

Thanks Hollywood House for reminding me how to live. 

Waiting. . .

"The truth is, those who diligently seek to learn of Christ eventually will come to know Him. They will personally receive a divine portrait of the Master, although it most often comes in the form of a puzzle—one piece at a time. Each individual piece may not be easily recognizable by itself; it may not be clear how it relates to the whole. Each piece helps us to see the big picture a little more clearly. Eventually, after enough pieces have been put together, we recognize the grand beauty of it all. Then, looking back on our experience, we see that the Savior had indeed come to be with us—not all at once but quietly, gently, almost unnoticed. "

-Dieter F. Uchtdorf
