Avery's Adventures!

   Seeing contentions among people I love makes me stressed, like I said in my previous post, I'm the kind of person that likes to make sure everyone is happy. I don't understand why we can't be nice to each other and treat each other with respect. I stick by my belief that the world would be better if we were all nice to each other. I'm not a perfect person, no one is perfect, but we can try to be better than we were yesterday and always look for room for improvement. I strive everyday to be better than I was yesterday and keep looking for improvement onward. There's no need to talk negativity about anyone; that's straight up bullying. 

      Contentions, they never feel good and they don't make people feel good; that's the adversary's way of tearing people apart. It terrifies me because of how much contentions there are in this world, and I'm the kind of person who likes to make sure everyone is happy. It physically and emotionally pains me to see people yelling at each other and tearing each other down. I don't see the point in fighting and bringing people down; what does that achieve? What do we gain out of contending with people? Can that make us a better person? Will we progress in our desires by making people feel bad about themselves? That answer is a resounding no. We will not get anywhere in life by having contentions and tearing people down. My biggest wish for everyone in the entire world is to show people kindness and make everyone around them feel good about themselves. Contending with people never allows us to win, nobody wins by tearing people down.  My plea to the world is to just b

    In my twenty-three years of living, there are things that I still don't know and I love looking for opportunities to learn more about what life has to offer. Even if the littlest things in life, I want to know why things happen, but sometimes we don't always get our answers in the way we want them to. Heavenly Father has a plan in mind for us, and sometimes He steers us in the right direction through life’s disappointments, rejections, etc. I struggle with rejection, but I'm trying my best everyday to see where I'm supposed to be going through the rejections I face in life. I know it doesn't make them any less painful. I do wish life didn't have challenges, but how would we learn? How would we progress? Without the hard times, how can we learn to appreciate the good times? All of these things are food for thought, and can teach us not to take things for granted. That's a big lesson I've learned since the pandemic started, and I'm still hoping and

          I've never understood why people bully. No one wins with bullying. I make it a priority to treat people with kindness and let them know the value they have to people around them. Why do people resort to terrorizing people to make them feel powerful or better about themselves? That's a mystery that we'll probably never solve, but that doesn't mean we can't stop it. Some people try to justify bullying as being brutally honest or telling it like it is. It's not funny, it's not a personality trait, and it's most certainly not harmless teasing. There is nothing harmless about bullying, and sometimes words can hurt just as badly as physical harm. We all need to be better at being aware of how words can impact people; even if it's just teasing. You'll never know how people take what others pass off as teasing. Let's all be better. 

     I never understood anyone who likes being feared, and it's just heartbreaking to think about. I strongly believe it's more important to be loved over being feared, because being loved helps you have meaningful relationships and stronger connections with people. Seeing all the hatred in this world makes me feel sad, and there seems to be more hatred and people who want to be feared. In my daily life at work and with people I love, I make it my priority to let people in my life know they're loved and cared for. You'll never know if there is someone who needs reassurance and compassion. We all need to be better at showing love to people in our lives. 

            Fall of 2019, I met this amazing guy through a dating app and we immediately clicked. We had so much in common and there was never a dull moment. I couldn't stop laughing when I was with him and I would always feel so happy. Sadly a few months later, I learned the heartbreaking lesson of letting go. Let's just say we both had struggles and he found someone else. I was devastated, and I was wondering what was wrong with me. Why didn't he want me? What did I do wrong? The entire four months we were hanging out I didn't think there were any problems, but I was blissfully unaware. I was so heartbroken, but then I had the sudden realization that we weren't meant to be. This was when I learned how to let go. I still remember all the fun memories we shared and the adventures we went on, but I did the difficult thing of letting go. I focused my mind on other things and spent more time with my family (this was when the pandemic was first starting). I do miss him

       Things that have been happening in the world inspired me to write this post today. One thing this pandemic has taught me is to remember what is really important in life, and I've noticed that people are forgetting that. It makes me sad to see people hating each other and tearing down meaningful things that make this country amazing. The world has become a scary place, but I believe that we can work together to make the world better again. We can work together to stop the awful things that are happening and bring peace. I'm grateful that we have The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be a beacon of hope for all of us. We can start by showing love to our family, friends, neighbors, community, etc.  Never in my twenty-three years of living would I think I would be living a real life apocalypse movie, and seeing the world in heartache and pain. It makes me sad that there's more heartache and pain everyday. I strongly believe that things will get better. We ne

       I am taking a step forward to become a better person and taking life by storm, and nothing is going to stop me from being the best I can be. Sometimes the hard things and memories can try to hold you back, but I'm doing my best everyday to not let those things affect me. I know I can use the talents that I have to help people and make them feel happy. I will do my best to not let anyone hold me back. I will not let my crown fall. There's this empowering quote that I found earlier today, and it says this: "She remembered who she was and the game changed" -Lalah Delia. Things are going to change for the better.
