Finding our Happily Ever After!!

Question was: i dont think i will ever find love. im 27. i have my degree and even a house i have been paying off for 15 years. that sounds like something good a man can get into but why cant i get married? i know im not ugly and i go on a lot of dates but there is never a 2nd date

My thoughts... You know this is a question that many of us ask ourselves often.  How come everyone else is in a relationship? How come every one is married? What is wrong with me?  These are all questions that I have personally asked myself many times, but the truth is that there isn't really an answer to any of those.  Every single person has there own story and all of our endings are going to be different!
Think about your life as a book for a second... every book has a different number of pages right? Every book has a different beginning, middle, and end.  When reading a book it doesn't matter how many pages, chapters, or how long it takes to finish... it matters about the quality of the story and the impact it leaves on our lives after.  YOUR LIFE IS A BOOK! Stop worrying about how others stories are ending and wondering why your life hasn't gotten to the next chapter yet! You will get there, it just may take more time! Open your mind to the possibility of your story ending slightly different than you have imagined but just as great!! When you least expect it your pages will continue to turn and you will find your Happily Ever After! Your book too can be a fairytale! :)

Religion

Question was...
hey there. i found ur blog on a site i do my shopping on. it seemed to jump out at me and i thank u for helping people like me find there way. well i have never admitted this but i guess i can because i dont really know u. but i recently moved to utah and everyone says that there are mormons that will drag u and make u be put into there religion. and i just shrugged my shoulders and got over it and then one of my friends invited me to the church and i actually really agree with everything. i dont know how much u know about religion but, do i go behind my familys back and do what i feel to be right? it is hard losing family and friends. it is hard losing everyone you ever loved but i have a good feeling when i go to this church and when i invite my family they just get really mad at me and i like a lot of things about this new church i am going to. help me out. what would you do if you were in the same situation?

thank you,
confused as heck, but on a constant spiritual high.

My Thoughts...
Honestly my first thought that came to my mind when I read this was that you need to do what you feel is right for your eternal progression.  Your family may not agree now, but they love you and once they see the joy and happiness that the gospel can bring to you they will most likely come around.  It may be extremely hard and make you doubt your decisions, but maybe this is your trial that you have to overcome! Be strong enough to stand up for what you believe in no matter what the outcome may be, because I can almost promise you that once you fully accept what your truely believe everything will work out as it should!! Have faith!!

With love,

Dating in the dark!!!

Question was...
i am in love with someone even tho we have never met. what happened was sumone kind of set us up and now we are going on a date but i am scared. how do i approach it? do i act like a cool guy? i guess i am just really scared or something

My Thoughts...
Love happens at crazy times when you least suspect it! Just go with it! Give it a shot! Don't put too much pressure on yourself and try not to be scared! Everyone these days are so worried about what other people think that they let opportunities pass them by because we are too scared to persue them! Don't let a possible happily ever after pass you by! Take a stand, be the man...Call her up and go out! What do you have to loose!??

Depression

Question was...
I have severe depression. I don't KNOW HOW TO HANDLE IT.

My Thoughts...
I think that depression is something that takes time to overcome... You need to find something in your life that will make you happy again. Step back and do something for you.. 100% for you!! We find ourselves getting so wrapped up in life and the responsibilities that we have and we forget about ourselves at times.  Find time for you again! By doing this it will help remind you the great things in life! Don't compare yourself to others and what they have.  That is something that will always bring you down, because there will always be someone out there with more than you... with out fail there will be!! But remember at the exact same time that you are looking at someone else's life and wanting it, someone is probably looking at yours and thinking the same thing! Be grateful for what you do have and enjoy it while you can! You never know when it will be gone...
Now go out and do something for you!!!

Sincerely,

I am struggling with same sex attraction and I am a Mormon. I have been working hard and hard and I am even a return missionary. What do I do?
Answer....
You know I would love to answer this for you... but this is something that you are going to have to talk to your bishop and the lord about.
