Trying to say something
Sometimes I wish I could just express my own opinions. It seems like lots of the time the only way I can get something out of me is when someone is cynically presenting the opposing argument, so I'll say something but there's a but load of junk backing it up that I just can't put into words properly. I was just trying to write a paper about Social Darwinism and I went from person to person asking their opinions, trying to get "ideas" for my paper. Then I realized,"well dude! What's my opinion? Can't I have a say in this too? This is MY paper after all!"Contrary to popular belief... or what I like people to think, I actually do have opinions on a lot of things and pretty strong ones too. I just don't always feel comfortable sharing them and when I try to communicate lots of the time I start worrying about getting judged or I'll judge my own poor speaking skills and wallow in a butload of inhibiting insecurity and fear. What a tragedy to myself and those around me and all the unexpressed feelings I have. Another thing is when I do express them... the way I think... it's just... I have an underlying idea in my head and then I talk through things presenting possible solutions to something, but my underlying idea is still there and the answer even though I acknowledge a bunch of other ones. I often think out loud or while I'm arguing with someone and I sound like a schizophrenic. Sort of like the way I talk about gospel stuff sometimes. Yeah I know it's true, but not everyone in the world does and not everyone in the world is a bad person for having different ideas than me. Wow. This is an incoherent blog again. See what I mean? I'm not understandable so why express myself? Maybe one of these days I'll find someone who can really understand me and how I think.

Heavenly Father... and you. Those are the people who will understand you. Good thing you're a psych major huh? You'll learn those things and then you can pray so that God can help you get it too. That's my advice. But trust me... no one but you will ever get you.
And it doesn't matter how you express yourself. Being able to make sense when you speak comes with practice. So start practicing. Take some risks! Live YOUR life! Believe what YOU want! That's why you are here. Don't worry about the rest of the world. Because you and only you can determine your fate. Heavenly Father is there to help you so you aren't alone. He and I know you can be anything and everything you want and should become.
You are amazing. Not just because you are Kathryn (which is a freaking huge reason), but because you are a daughter of God. Cheesy huh? But it's true. You have INFINITE potential. I am now... yet again... getting off my soap box. I love you.
