As of this moment, I am going to do something that very few people have ever done (at least that I know of, and I don't know much, that is for sure). I am going to combine......dun dun dun....CHURCH AND SOCIOLOGY! Yipes! Now, before you quit reading for fear of being struck down, think of this, I WROTE it, and I am still here! And so, without further wait, I shall attempt the impossible:
The other day in institute, we talked about how much easier it will be in this life to take care of habits, addictions, and the likes, rather than trying to in the next. That hit me with the force of a semi-truck. I have heard it before, and yet this time it really seemed to sink in. What about my anger? What about my jealousies? What about my.....oh no....not my CHOCOLATE!!!!!
And so, to help me overcome the above problems and others I shall add later, I am going to use my Sociology knowledge. Yes, Dr.Parks would be proud. :D While doing my 8.2 hour homework assignment over the weekend, I learned a very valuable tip; another tid-bit I have known for a long time, yet I finally LEARNED. I am going to WRITE IT ALL DOWN...Yes, that is what I shall do....And so here we go folks:
I need to overcome:
-Anger issues...I don't know if they have punching bags in the next life. Therefore I need to control my fury NOW
-I control Chocolate. Chocolate does not control me. I control Chocolate. Chocolate does not control me. I control Chocolate. Chocolate does not control me.....:'(
-"Sigh"...My jealousy of those with nice skin. Yes, I have freckles. I am as white as the marshmallow man. I do not tan. I am painfully aware of that all, so PLEASE DO NOT REMIND ME OK???? But, that is alright....hhhmmm
-I will have issues with certain individuals my whole if I do not learn how to let their . . . . . . . (and no, those are not bad words. They are qualities that I do not like, insults that I have taken, tears that I have cried, and times that I have been hurt because of them) go. I think this will be my hardest, depending on how my future works out. But, the atonement solves everything. I remind myself of that constantly....
....Ok ok ok, that is a lot to work on...Hello, look at that list!! But, I feel better now. I can do it, with my Father in Heaven, I have no doubt I can. Well, I best get started on it huh? I only have a mortal lifetime! Oh boy, that all of a sudden doesn't sound like enough time... eeepp...I shall now bid you all a fare-thee-well!!! I am going to take the first step to my betterment..prayer and bed.
Night Y'all!!!

Very well said. Brings it into perspective. I have a lot to work on too. -- Even with your white white skin, you are a beautiful woman. ;)
Said by a woman who truly understands the impact of those things, especially CHOCOLATE! And I feel like you were describing me but I love your freckles and white skin, and not just because I look the same. I was in Africa and believe me you get put into a new perspective when a Ugandan girl tells me and my friend Samira, whose family is orginally from Iran, has beautiful dark caramel skin and black curly hair, that we look like sisters! So, you better start working on that one or I'm going to send you to Africa! :) Love ya
You are awesome Brit. I am so proud to call you my niece.
I think you are a beautiful person inside and out! Keep smiling and keep your head up!
Well get to it. But if you become better then I will have to too. Great now I have to get to work. PS I love you in spite of all those things. You are beautiful just the way you are. White skin, freckles and everything, even chocolate.
