This started as a Facebook post but started getting a little too long. After some convo's with mi familia this past week, I just got a little introspective and then I was watching General Conference which amped up the instrospection like a lot....

Elder Nelson during the afternoon session said that we need "a little repentance and a lot of forgiveness". I dunno why this struck me so much. To me it made me think of progression, how we need to repent but in order to move on from things we need to forgive others and especially ourselves. I think this helps us just move on quick you know? So we don't dwell on the past and just let it go. That's really hard for me to do sometimes. My mind is constantly going and I am always analyzing everything I do, every interaction, every word I say and even the sentence structure. Maybe I just need a Xanex but also I just need to get better at moving on and not worrying so much about a past thing. Just get better moving forward right? Every week at church we get a chance for a clean slate during Sacrament. I think as we keep an open line of communication with Heavenly Father we get chances for clean slates even more than that. He is so ready to move on from the not so good stuff we do, so maybe we should get on board with that. I'm not saying that some things aren't serious, but I think they're easier to move on from than we think.

Well that's all! Trent just put in White Chicks and there's nothing better than a brainless movie to slow my mind down!
