The Beginning

So, I'm sitting there like the freaking idiot I am, drowning in a sea of embarrassment. It was one of those moments you wish had never happened, one of those moments where you question who's 'grand idea' it had been, one of those moments that leaves a permanent scar on your self-confidence.

You KNOW you have had those moments too.

Lesson learned…double and triple check if it is actually your friend Brandon BEFORE you sit on a complete stranger's lap while whispering provocative sayings into his ear.  Orrrr you get to face the extreme awkwardness of explaining to a stranger that you and your friends normally surprise each other with a lap dance and a great one liner when you see them around campus.

And then what happens later that day when you are explaining to your real friends the awkwardness of the entire situation? What do they tell you?

"Oh Hallie, don't sweat it."

….oh. so, don't sweat it? Cool. I mean…I wasnt looking for a trash bag to cover my face anyways. It's not like I was literally sweating from embarassment. And I for sure just laughed instead of cried as I left that innocent boy I had just corrupted.

Well my dear friends. There are some things in life that we do sweat about. Giving a poor, lonesome stranger a lap dance on the third floor of the BYU-Idaho library isn't something that you should sweat about. But I did in that moment. Thats what this blog is about…those everyday, minimal moments that should be so insignificant, but actually matter and have an impact on your life.  It takes a thousand little, seemingly-insignificant moments that compile a lifetime.

I am figuring out that there are a lot of those little moments that impact me. For the better, the worse, the good, bad, and ugly. I have things I need to work on, just like everyone.  Opening myself up is at the top of my list-telling people my unimportant stories, the things that make me tick, the words that make me cry.  I need to be okay telling people the things that sometimes I do sweat about, regardless of how insignificant I might think they are.

Because we have ALL been there…the overthinkers, the under thinkers, the non sensical thinkers. We ALL are trying to get through this life, and sometimes we need the reassuarance that someone else out there thinks the same way we do.





Also, very important. I am in love with Jalen Rose. Watch, appreciate, laugh.
