The Body

The human body is the greatest, most valuable tool that God has given us.
Think of all of the things we can do with our bodies, we can go places, we can do service, we can type a blog. They are so precious.
I am overwhelmed by the magnitude of this gift.
As such, we need to respect our bodies. Use them as God would have us use them. They are sacred, and should be treated as such. We should not reveal our bodies unnecessarily. We should not starve them, overwork them, neglect them, or in any way abuse them. We should not defile them with injected inks or metal bars.
We should not criticize them for not being the "right" shape or size.
Love your body. Take care of it. And it will serve you well for your duration.

Qualities

This is a realization that I came to maybe a week or a week and a half ago...
So I have this dumb list of qualities that I want in a guy, and my main reason for having it is because I can't seem to stay level-headed enough while in a relationship to really judge if the guy I am dating is really what I am looking for. So I have these good qualities, like righteous and worthy priesthood holder and hard working and patient....And I have been getting to know these really great, high quality guys...but I wasn't interested in any of them.
And I realized, I was looking at it all wrong. I was putting the important qualities of righteousness etc above whether or not I was even interested in them.
So I changed the way I'm doing it.
Instead of finding a righteous guy and then hoping there would be a spark, I need to find a spark, and if he's righteous, we can run with it.

And so on the very tip top of my list, I added three qualities. They are as follows-- Awesome, Fun, and Love to be with them. If those count as qualities.

And I am thinking/hoping that this will help me to find more happiness. :)
