It's good to remove unwanted baggage. I've been clearing out a lot of mine and it's been reflected here by removing the remnants of old hurt.
If you're finding yourself stuck in an area of your life that is the way to move forward.
Clear out negative emotions you've been hanging on to: Anger, jealousy, fear, embarrassment, and all others.
Forgive others, God, and yourself.
Those are the key to new relationships, resources, and money! Who doesn't want that?

Happy 24
Birthdays these past years have almost been something I have dreaded. This year is no different.
It's not that I'm opposed to getting older. It's more of a painful reminder to me that I'm still in the same place I was a year ago. Not really making progress with my life. The agonizing standstill.
I've tried exterior sources for enjoyment and happiness.
There was a girl who I thought would make me happy and she ended up ruining my life. As much as I hate to admit it, she still haunts me every day...four months after the fact. Too cowardly to break things off and just left me hanging. Still hanging.
But anyone who does that clearly isn't worth anyone else's time so I really wonder why she torments me so. Bah.
That's not what today is about. It's about me. 24 years. It feels like a long and yet a short time. I feel old seeing people I thought were young when I was still young too growing up and making good lives.
I think it's time for me to make mine. So in anticipation for my 25th birthday I'm going to make a lot of changes. Start making myself again. For me this time. When you come around I'm going to enjoy you and drink you in. It will be a good year and 25 will symbolize how far I've come from now.

Intent
I heard this in a video I saw a month ago but I didn't notice it until I read it today.
This is a quote from Elder Busche at a BYU Devotional in 1996:
"And finally, when you are compelled to give up something or when things that are dear to you are withdrawn from you, know that this is your lesson to be learned right now. But know also that, as you are learning this lesson, God wants to give you something better."
I wish I had come across this sooner than I had. I felt like the best person in my life was violently taken form me and I didn't know if there could be anyone to take her place.
I need to have greater trust in the Lord. He knows what he's doing and I believe what Elder Busche said; that my Heavenly Father wants to give me someone better.
I feel so much peace right now. Wah!
I love my life!!!
