Living Life Fiercely

This is my motto for life. It was inspired by a talk I once heard, where the audience was told that when they got married, they should be "fiercely loyal" to their spouse. The term "fiercely" struck me as something that I should strive to apply to other areas of my life. Love fiercely. Work fiercely. Study fiercely. Live fiercely. Something about the concept rang true to me, and I try to stick by it- fiercely.

Some things about me:

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Fiercely so.

I am also a college student. I'm not sure how fierce I am at this, because I haven't started classes yet, but I intend to be fiercely studious.

I am a friend. I am fiercely loyal to my friends. I am also fiercely and somewhat frighteningly, clingy, but that's another story for another time.

I am a daughter. I am fiercely loyal and loving to my earthly parents and to my heavenly parents.

I am a sister. I am a sister to four- three on earth, one in heaven. I am also a sister to countless millions, many of whom are here on earth, waiting to come here, or who have left already. I try to be fiercely protective of all of my brothers and sisters. It is hard. I am learning.

I am a mother. I don't yet have any of my own children, but I can help nurture and care for the children of others. I am fiercely caring of those who trust me to do so. It sounds like an oxymoron, but I promise you that it isn't.

I am me.
