Tip #1: Tell the one you love how you feel

I’m talking about those people who don’t know how you feel yet. 

‘cause even if they’ll reject you or if tell you the same way you feel - you’ll feel relieved. It’s such a big relief to tell someone who doesn’t know how you feel that you love them. 

Love is such a beautiful thing. Such an amazing feeling, and you should never keep it to yourself. 

I know you’re worried that you’ll lose a friend, or maybe you’re afraid you’ll get laughed at, but you know, like all your other problems, I swear to you, it will pass.

If you get rejected: It will be awkward for awhile, and unfortunately, there’s nowhere around it. I’m telling you, one day, the both of you will get tired of running away from  each other, and the awkwardness will fade away. It won’t leave right away, but it will. 

Live life with no regrets.

If you don’t tell the person you love how you feel, you will regret it. You will think about it everyday, you’ll feel every sadness, hurt, anger and love everyday, until you tell them. You do not want to feel all of that for too long, because you might blow yourself up in the end. 

I know all of this, because I did the same “stupid thing” just recently. Maybe it was out of boredom, out of lonesome, I’m not sure. But I KNOW that it was time. Maybe right now, it’s still awkward - I’ve tried running around in circles, looking for a way out. There’s none. But I’m not regretting anything I said to that person. It may be the best thing that I’ve ever done because I’ve never felt so relieved in my life. 

Everyday, God gives you another chance to be happy. That’s the most important blessing He can give you every day. It’s your decision to take it or not. 

I suggest you do. :)

Happy Birthday, Angelica!

Smart, funny, pretty, and sweet! 

Angelica and I met a few years back because of Hannah. They’ve been best friends since they were kids and Hannah had introduced me to her. 

I’ve gotten to spend some time with Angeli before and a little this summer. She’s great to talk to and actually listens. She understands, and she reacts! I love people who react. She laughs ‘til she cries (& trusts me, she does), and she does a great deal in making you laugh, too. She has the most curious questions and looks for the most interesting answers.

We had a shoot last Monday along with Hannah and I loved how nervous and at the same time natural she was. :) She was so modest and humble! 

Hope I get to spend more and more time with you before college starts for you, Angeli!

Love you!
