"i'm a major weeper!"

like jude law on The Holiday.

so i don't know if you know this. but your lil friend lindsey is pretty sensitive. not that she likes to admit it. (as i admit it on my public blog...) but in fact, most of the time i'm the first person to cry at babies and movies and talks and songs on the radio and church and friends and spirit. i can't watch any kind of violent or scary or intense movie bc i cry and get scared and have nightmares. it's quite ridiculous, actually. and part of me is SO GLAD that i'm not hardened and insensitive, and part of me gets bugged that i'm such a baby.

i just wanted to throw out there, that it's okay to be sensitive. i'm okay with it. it's genetic. for me, leaking is both an indicator of happiness and sadness, both lack of spirit and the abundance thereof. life is just so amazing!! and hard, too. and not that MY life is particularly hard at the moment, bc it's not. it kinda rocks ;) but i just get so sensitive to other people's lives & their struggles. like one of my coworkers is going through something tough and it just breaks my heart! why does the world and life have to be so difficult? and the more i get to know and love people, the more i become a faucet. even over happy things! endlessly i rejoice and laugh and cry at missionary letters from jamie, and pregnancies of my family and movies like Up. :)

i guess i'm just grateful to feel so blessed and so happy and to have the tools to get through this life with my head on straight. not that i won't cry probably the whole way through it, but i KNOW i can get through anything bc of what i know and believe. :)
whew!
