New Addiction

So... I am obsessed with Les Mis. Listening to the soundtrack is one of the most satisfying activities out there, even if I am singing along with them by myself. Sometimes I lay awake at night with all of the songs running through my head. I do not know if it is the music that I love, the wonderful quotes such as: "had you seen her today you might know how it feels to be struck to the bone in a moment of breathless delight," or the fact that Marius looks like the guy I kind of have a crush on. I know it is called the miserables, but it is one of the sweetest love stories out there. Addicted I tell you.

I also had a lesson on what it means to thrive. One of the people in my class said it meant loving something so much that you are willing to put up with all of the crap that comes along with it. I realized that is my life right now. I thrive here in Utah. I love it here so much that I am willing to put up with the negative degree weather and feet of snow. I am learning to love it. It truly glitters in the sunlight. It is delightful. I also thrive in BYUSA. I love being a part of it so I put up with a couple of people I cannot stand, and I consistently put myself out of my comfort zone. It is all worth it. Every once in a while I come across a day when I feel like: 

I can make it if I keep in mind why I love BYU and BYUSA so much. I will keep on thriving and having Les Mis songs stuck in my head. There isn't much better.
