In my very naive bubble, I had no idea that there were radio edit versions of songs and just figured a lot of songs included “ish” in their lyrics. Duh. I am NOT a fan of extensive and unnecessary cussing, especially the “F” word. And it got me thinking, wouldn’t it be amazing if we could “radio edit” everything? Like there was a setting for everyone’s life and you could just turn it on and then you wouldn’t have to listen to foul mouths around you. Or you could set it for your kids, so that you could protect their precious ears? That would be fantastic.

I have a new 8th grade student that I met last week and she is a sweet girl. She did however have the brightest blue eyeshadow on and poorly placed lipstick. I want so badly to help her out and then I thought about how awkward I was in middle/high school and how that time in life is such a learning period. The awkwardness and makeup experimentation is such a key part of growing up and I’m so glad that I was so awkward because I’m sure it kept me out of a lot of trouble.

I have lived in the same town my whole life (in fact, my parents still live in the same house I grew up in). I moved away for a brief period to go to college and travel the world some, but in the back of my mind, I always knew I would move back here, raise a family and grow old in this city. It’s a relatively small town and everywhere I go, I run into someone I know. And I love it.

But this town is rapidly growing and my heart dies a little every time a stop light goes in because that is just a visual confirmation that we aren’t as small as we used to be and that makes me so sad. Why do things have to change?!
