life is better barefoot

bare-foot
-adjective, adverb
1. the act of one not wearing any shoes
2. the expression of the true enjoyment of life
The best things in life are usually the simplest. I think the world does a good job at distorting the minds of girls. Do you know how many girls have eating disorders or go into depression because of the image or personality they are supposed to like? Thousands
and the super models they are trying to look like aren't even real, they are computer edited. I just wish everyone would realize that they are made different for a reason, being who you really are is what is truly beautiful. 
 That is why life is better barefoot. Although those things don't seem to connect, they do. Being able to feel the grass and the dirt-- gets you feet dirty. Do supermodels have dirty feet...no.
Life is great when you are just able to do what you know  you need, and then amazing things happen.

Delores really is my middle name.


So this one time, i was born.
I don't remember it, but i am pretty sure it was an exciting time in both my and my parent's life.
And then i grew up... into what most people call Elementary School.  
I had friends. We played, then somewhere in between dodge ball and jump rope we grew up.
Grew up into a place called Junior High. It was a horrible combination of puberty and self-discovery.
That's the time in my life where i had braces, glasses and was told i looked like a boy.
Then I matured (into a girl) and once again... occupieded a bigger "more mature" space.
This time with hormones and facial hair, high school became my life.
[OK, so i never did have facial hair. But it was around this time when i noticed that my
fellow male peers were all about it]
High school was interesting. Although I made so many friends and memories... 
i had to once again grow up. So, i graduated.
I worked all summer (at the most interesting of jobs) and then in the fall,
moved to the booming metropolis of Ephraim, Utah.
Those of you who have never heard of this obviously really awesome place,
here are some of it's finest assets.
A stop light on main, huge difference in human vs. livestock ratio and home of Snow College.
For fun, we go to maverick, dance in the country western style and visit the turkey farms on our days off.
I have 5 roommates, all of whom make my life so interesting.
And, sometimes, i go back to the sweet old hometown of Cedar Hills to visit the good ol' fam.
So there's the background on me. BUT, if anyone was to ask,
my favorite consist of...
the color orange, llamas, swinging on swings, ice cream cones, green grass, the west coast[particularly Oregon/Northern California), living in the 50's, dressing from the 80's and Cafe Rio.
There are so many funny things that go on throughout a time span of 24 hours. And so many times i am too caught up in myself to realize that they are happening. My life was never intended for me, it was intended for others. So... as i go about my next 24 hours i will keep track of everything beautiful that happened in my life, and let you know about.

"Those who think sunshine is happiness, have never danced in the rain."
Just open your eyes, and see that life is beautiful.
