A friend and I were talking about blogs the other day and she came up with a great name for a blog: Finding Emo. How funny/awesome could that blog be! You could take either a sad approach and try to step inside the artistically tolerant and open mind of an Emo kid’s deep search for meaning in life, love and self, or you could be completely ridiculous and bash on the non-conforming, black nail painted, dark eye make-up, torn clothed, spiky belted, and slightly depressing group of people we refer to as “Emo”.
Anyways, her title made me think. Finding Emo. Sometimes I feel like I’m looking for Emo. (That’s Emo folks, not Elmo.) I can get so caught up in looking for the bad in my life that I fail to see all the amazing goodness! It seems way to easy to notice all your own flaws, and even easier to forget to recognize all your strengths. So I give you a mission. Go to the bathroom right now. Why are you still reading? Go! Oh, I guess I haven’t told you what to do. Ok. Go to the bathroom, look yourself in the mirror, give yourself a big smile, a high five (not too hard you don’t want to shatter the mirror), and a big wet one. (A kiss folks! A kiss. This is a mormon blog. Sicko.) No but really give yourself a nice pat on the back for being so rad! And maybe get an Elmo doll, he will help you not be sad.
By the way, I am looking for my Elmo doll, has anyone seen him?
