Boys and Stars

Want to know a secret?

boys scare me

It's true. There's just something that makes me freeze up inside.
And I don't even have to like the guy.
My mind slows down and I only say stupid things, so I tend to not say anything at all.
Embarrassing.
And not quite as much fun either.
Maybe one day I'll meet a guy that I won't feel so ridiculous around.


I learned something about boys.
Some, are just not really worth your time. You need to find the good ones.
Ones that open your doors. And do your dishes, no matter how uncomfortable it makes you feel. And make you smile.
And laugh. That's important.
And really care about a girl for who she is, and not what she looks like. That when you ask him why he likes her, he can come up with a list of things he loves about her.

We went to the sand dunes tonight.
And there were boys, so I didn't say too much.
But we listened to a friend play the ukulele, and danced there in the sand, under the stars.
Oh the stars.
I saw another galaxy.
There's never been another time that I've seen so many stars so clearly. A never ending view into heaven.

I don't know that I've ever seen anything so completely humbling and beautiful in my life.
