I Am

NOT WEAK.

Just because:

I would rather smother conflict with kindness.

I would rather apologize then argue till I'm blue in the face about who was right or wrong.

I take into consideration how my actions effect others and try to think about things and people's feelings.

I don't demand to be the center of attention so yes I am content just enjoying the people in the room sometimes.

I choose not to announce my accomplishments to a room full of people. Hate me the freak for it.

I hide the things that are closest to me because they are precious and should not be viewed by just anyone.

I love my friends and the people closest to me with my whole heart, soul and being. Does it make me weak that when I do love, I love with my whole heart?

I do not like to argue or have contention in my life so I try to understand all sides of ideas.

Obviously, I stand up for what I believe in but in my way and usually drop arguments if they are not being seen with understanding by both parties.

I can be a lion trust me. With things pertaining to what is right, the people I love, or with my self worth. So don't mess. But meaningless arguments/contention that are just made up by people bored with their lives or to insult others, I do not give my time and effort to. If this makes me weak or in some way of poor character then so be it. Excuse a women for trying to be more of a peacemaker in a world where women are taught that they need to be just as demanding as men. This is my point - If you do not see the great worth of a peaceful, kind, loving person then maybe you need to check what you think is important. Just saying.

Let it happen.

Do you ever feel like you're overflowing?

I feel this way.

I want to grow with someone.

I want to be leaned on and be shouldered at times as well.

I desire to be helpful when things are tough, & to be the one person who knows just what to say to make things better.

& I wish to be the person who brings tears of thankfulness.

I hope to be the light that makes the foggy navigable.

I care to be the one who can bring a smile when there is nothing to smile about.

I choose to be there when no one else is.

I get the fact that it isn't always a fairy tale, and will be very unromantic at times.

& I'm okay with that.

As long as I know that it is real.

And it is anything but self fulfilling.

And it is uplifting.

And that it is an equal partnership.

And everything before it seems so trivial and unimportant.

And it is funny how things just worked out.

Usually, these are desires I would not publish for everyone. I am not the kind of person to voice these to anyone in person &.. I want to feel alive ? So, this is me being completely absorbed for the moment. It happens.

ps. The Buried Life tonight. Season permiere. My one and only very favorite show. Ask me if I will be watching TV every Monday night for the next some odd months.... Yep.

Dear Dave,

If you happened to propose to me tomorrow, I would have to consent even with the lack of the ability to jump on cue to make a jumping picture legitimate. (everyone has flaws, I accept yours with warm welcome) That's all.

Love Yours Truly,

Chelsea (Im flexible with last name changes just for your infomation)

B b b Bennie & The Jets.

I can't even begin to explain to you how I have been itching to go shooting.

Well, I finally got to make it happen.

Here are some shots that came of it.

Also, recently I have become semi obsessed with older classic music. The music that inspired our music today. I might have gone on a downloading extravaganza of the tunes my parents thought were too rebellious at their time. These are some of the jams I have been lip syncing to on my ipod as of late.

1. Bennie & the Jets - Elton John

2. Foxy Lady & Red House - Jimi Hendrix

3. Let's Live for Today - The Grass Roots

4. No Sleep till Brooklyn - The Beastie Boys (& Girls, Sabotage, Intergalactic, Paul Revere, & of course Brass Monkey)

5. Twist & Shout - The Beatles

6. Stuck in the Middle with You - Stealers Wheel

7. Light my Fire - The Doors

8. Faithfully & Separate Ways - Journey

9. Imagine - John Lennon

10. Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin

Yeah, definitely going through a phase. & loving it. (How have I never listened to Hendrix before now? So sick!! ) Let me know if you have any classics worth downloading. Hope you enjoyed your Tuesday & have a belly full of pork tacos like me.

Sugar House Adventure!

Once upon a time I went on an adventure with my mom and aunt to a place called Sugar House yesterday.

Pretty sure it is my new destination I want to live if I ever graduate.

I'm also pretty sure it is the cutest little place and has the cutest little houses and shops.

We had lunch at Whole Foods and I got a rosemary loaf of bread (I'm pretty excited about it)

Then we shopped around & stopped into this little cupcake place to get some yummy treats!!

I would highly recommend stopping in sugar house next time you are in the Salt Lake area and maybe even getting one of these bad boys! Yay for family being in the same state and taking care of you when you're sick!

I might be obsessed a little..

Birthday Friendshipz

Once upon a time there were two best friends. They were brought together by fate and have been through the ups and downs of going on opposite missions, returning to live in Pineview, and numerous loose women that came and went. Since then they have matured into fine men, ditched their crazy women and settled into a wonderful marriage and living up the single life. This post is to honor these great friends fore today is BOTH their 24th birthdays!!

Really though, I love them both like the brothers I never had. Pretty sure they are some of the best guys I have ever met and I'm so blessed to be able to witness their example of righteous preisthood holding in my daily life. Monica is the best and whoever is to be Matt's wife in the near future is going to be beyond lucky! Deep love for these boyz & hope they have a kicking 24th year of life!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRIENDZ!!

The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

I just finished this book. Let's talk about it.

This is it,

it wasn't that great. (in my opinion)

The way it was written, the voice was very well executed to the boy who was the narrator. However, the style of writing made the book seem not as well written because the voice was so child like.. or teenage like.. so it seemed like a lot of run on sentences and random ideas that weren't really important. Which is kind of how the mind thinks so kudos to them to capturing it so well, but it doesn't necessarily make the book seem that intelligent. Just in my limited knowledge of well written books that is. I wouldn't really recommend it because it gets a little dodgy at some points, but a quick read none the less to cure some down time.

After I finished this book last night, I immediately started The Alchemist because I have been wanting to read that book for a long while and I have finally got my hands on a copy. I'll let you know what I decide about it. Maybe not being in school is not as bad as I thought since I am able to get so much reading done! After that I am interested in picking up The Picture of Dorian Gray, Invisible Monsters (from the guy who wrote Fight Club), Peter Pan (don't judge me the book is a lot different then you would think I have heard), and possibly if curiosity wins over my stubborn mind The Fountainhead. But that is only if I get really bored. So, If you have any other good reads feel free to let me know of them. Friendship.
