00:01 - 00:05
Hi, my name is Kristen right? And this is my relationships essay.
00:06 - 00:10
So I did my essays on my best friend Caroline,
00:12 - 00:15
my other best friend and former boyfriend Huston,
00:17 - 00:19
my other best friend, Kayleigh
00:22 - 00:24
and my father God
00:27 - 00:29
my savior, jesus christ,
00:31 - 00:32
my sister leah,
00:34 - 00:36
my mom georgiana
00:41 - 00:42
and here's
00:43 - 00:44
that's the rest of the table continents.
00:46 - 00:47
So my best friend Caroline.
00:48 - 00:50
So we discovered each other on these social videos,
00:50 - 00:54
Twitter and Instagram and then we met in real life at FY in 2015.
00:56 - 00:59
So we stayed connected through social media and we texted a lot.
01:00 - 01:04
I moved into her award in 2017 and we've been hanging out weekly
01:04 - 01:06
ever since and that's how we've maintained our friendship.
01:08 - 01:09
So what this
01:09 - 01:12
relationship means to me and she's very loyal.
01:12 - 01:15
Our relationship is very therapeutic and spiritual
01:16 - 01:19
and I've discovered that I am a christ like example and Caroline
01:19 - 01:21
told me one time she looks up to me for guidance.
01:23 - 01:26
So the positive communication Caroline and I have is that
01:26 - 01:28
we're both vulnerable with each other and expressing our feelings,
01:29 - 01:33
some negative ones or that she tends to be indecisive
01:33 - 01:35
when we hang out or
01:35 - 01:37
what we want to do or where are we going to eat at.
01:38 - 01:43
So we definitely communicate through our guts, which are jargon and slang,
01:44 - 01:48
some examples, we see lit or boogie a lot in our vocabulary.
01:49 - 01:50
So my
01:51 - 01:53
best friend slash former boyfriend Heston.
01:54 - 01:57
We met in 2017 at youth conference,
01:57 - 02:01
we went to see some history sites in Palmyra New York in Kirtland Ohio.
02:02 - 02:05
So we've maintained this relationship through texting,
02:05 - 02:07
We hung out at all the youth dances and
02:07 - 02:10
activities and we hung out at each other's houses.
02:11 - 02:14
Then we eventually started dating and became boyfriend and girlfriend.
02:15 - 02:16
So,
02:16 - 02:17
um,
02:17 - 02:19
a lot of qualities I see in him are like
02:19 - 02:22
what I would eventually look for in a future eternal companion
02:23 - 02:27
and I've discovered what I'd be like as a future wife and
02:27 - 02:30
I discovered I would want someone like him who's very christ like,
02:32 - 02:35
so some positive communication that hasn't only have
02:35 - 02:38
or were really good about like planning hangouts
02:38 - 02:41
and dates and we really got to know each other and we supported each other.
02:41 - 02:44
We're very private about how we showed affection to.
02:45 - 02:46
So I thought that was pretty good.
02:48 - 02:50
Um, a couple of negative communication.
02:50 - 02:53
Um, there was like this big misunderstanding a few years ago,
02:53 - 02:57
it gave me a gift that he then he told me
02:57 - 02:59
a few years later that he meant it for someone else,
02:59 - 03:02
but in the end he wanted to actually give it to me.
03:03 - 03:06
So that's what we discovered through talking it out.
03:07 - 03:09
So the
03:10 - 03:13
um, term from our online textbook
03:14 - 03:17
that I have with him, a smell memory.
03:17 - 03:22
So especially with what I smell like cologne different men,
03:22 - 03:24
like people who come into work and it'll
03:24 - 03:25
remind me of him
03:25 - 03:27
and take me back to when we were dating.
03:28 - 03:30
So my best friend Kayleigh,
03:31 - 03:34
So Hailey and I met one time she came to
03:34 - 03:36
church with my other best friend Carolina in 2017.
03:38 - 03:42
So we've stayed connected through social media and we hang out weekly with Caroline
03:44 - 03:45
and
03:45 - 03:49
so what this friendship means to me and we're both really silly,
03:49 - 03:51
were supportive of each other and we give
03:51 - 03:53
each other a really great dating relationship advice.
03:55 - 03:57
So from my relationship with Kaylee is
03:57 - 03:59
that I've discovered that I'm the therapist friend
04:00 - 04:03
and then I can also connect with people of my beliefs and people of other beliefs.
04:05 - 04:05
So,
04:05 - 04:07
a positive communication with Kaylee is that we're
04:07 - 04:09
both really in touch with our emotions and talents
04:10 - 04:11
and we help each other with
04:12 - 04:14
pois situations with dating.
04:15 - 04:17
So some negative communication.
04:17 - 04:18
Um she
04:19 - 04:19
actually,
04:19 - 04:22
she suggested that I completely cut Heston off after we broke up
04:22 - 04:26
and I disagreed because Heston and I someone would be friends.
04:27 - 04:28
So,
04:29 - 04:33
um, Kalish, the concept that comes to mind is perception
04:33 - 04:38
about being mindful of the material we receive and evaluate and especially
04:38 - 04:40
when it comes to helping each other with our mental health.
04:42 - 04:46
So the next relationship with my heavenly father, which is God.
04:47 - 04:50
So of course this relationship began with the pre existence
04:50 - 04:52
when he created Heaven Earth and all of us.
04:53 - 04:54
So
04:54 - 04:56
the way is that I say
04:57 - 05:01
and communication with my father and we maintain this relationship
05:01 - 05:04
is through prayer scripture study is going to church,
05:04 - 05:04
going to
05:05 - 05:08
why say events and then these events when I was a teenager
05:08 - 05:10
going to institute and fulfilling my callings.
05:11 - 05:15
I chose heavenly father, especially in his hand in my life and his timing
05:15 - 05:18
is so perfect with different people and experiences in my life.
05:19 - 05:23
So I discovered that I'm a child and the daughter of God with the purpose,
05:23 - 05:26
I'm a daughter of a king, therefore I'm a queen.
05:27 - 05:30
So the positive communication with God is
05:30 - 05:32
through the promptings of the holy spirit,
05:32 - 05:35
wanted me of danger and inspiring me to do good things.
05:36 - 05:39
Um, maybe some negative communications are like
05:39 - 05:42
when my parents aren't answered as quickly as I want them
05:42 - 05:45
to be or if I'm going through a really hard time,
05:45 - 05:46
I might feel alone.
05:47 - 05:47
Mhm
05:49 - 05:52
So with my relationship with God come,
05:52 - 05:55
what comes to mind as selective perception for example,
05:55 - 05:58
um when I'm at church or an institute,
05:58 - 06:02
when there's talk about like connecting to God or obeying his commandments,
06:02 - 06:05
I really pay attention to that and it's really important to me.
06:06 - 06:09
So my relationship with my Savior, jesus christ,
06:10 - 06:12
of course it also began in the pre existence,
06:12 - 06:15
We need volunteers to be the Savior of the world for me for all of us.
06:16 - 06:19
And then my relationship with the Savior has maintained every week at church,
06:19 - 06:21
went to take the sacrament and remember him
06:22 - 06:25
and this is the reason I'm here on earth and have a purpose in life,
06:25 - 06:26
if it weren't for jesus christ
06:27 - 06:29
with their life Academy, loneliness
06:30 - 06:33
and I am an example through jesus christ and my love,
06:33 - 06:36
especially in the relationships I have here on earth
06:37 - 06:39
positive communication with jesus christ just
06:39 - 06:41
through reading his teachings from the scriptures
06:42 - 06:43
and also an institute,
06:44 - 06:46
maybe some negative communication.
06:47 - 06:50
Um I'm noticing like in the last year I've been really struggling to
06:50 - 06:54
do my own personal scripture study and prayer and it needs improving,
06:54 - 06:57
so I'm currently trying to work on that personally.
06:59 - 07:01
Um what comes to mind when,
07:01 - 07:03
when it comes to jesus christ is the images
07:03 - 07:06
of the desired self which includes the concept,
07:06 - 07:10
self idealized, self assured self, the public and real self
07:10 - 07:11
and
07:13 - 07:17
basically I've been told by friends and family that I'm very
07:17 - 07:20
christ like and I have a lot of cars like attributes
07:20 - 07:21
like
07:21 - 07:23
um love for your fellow men and
07:24 - 07:25
serving others things like that.
07:26 - 07:29
So my relationship with my sister leah,
07:30 - 07:33
So the sister had began in 2003 when she was born,
07:34 - 07:37
So I've been her older sister all her life for 18 years
07:37 - 07:42
and we've gone from like as little kids, we would play with toys, go outside and play
07:43 - 07:47
and as like teenagers and young adults now where we go to friends, parties,
07:47 - 07:50
dances with church activities, things like that.
07:51 - 07:55
So my sister had with leah is a big part of my life and I know I'm
07:55 - 07:57
an example to her and I'm very protective of
07:57 - 07:59
her as well since she's my younger sister,
08:01 - 08:03
so she and I are polar opposites and some things,
08:03 - 08:05
but other times it's like we're twins
08:06 - 08:09
that includes like the way we communicate in our interests,
08:09 - 08:10
an urn
08:10 - 08:11
friend groups,
08:12 - 08:15
some positive communication that she and I have,
08:15 - 08:18
that we definitely help balance each other out in our personalities.
08:18 - 08:23
Like for example, I have a very sweet personality, she can be very salty sometimes,
08:24 - 08:27
so that's an interesting combination.
08:28 - 08:32
Um some negative communication with my sister is like when
08:32 - 08:36
she tends to be the mom friend and she kind of moms me and she
08:36 - 08:37
acts like
08:38 - 08:42
she's a parent but she's younger than me. So it's interesting.
08:45 - 08:51
Um the concept that I see with leah my relationship with her is pleasure seeking.
08:51 - 08:54
So I noticed that I try to be a leader an example
08:55 - 08:57
by putting myself out there
08:57 - 09:00
in a certain position, whether it's like an institute,
09:00 - 09:03
I try to share my insights and I know that she does as well, so
09:04 - 09:05
that's something cool I've noticed.
09:06 - 09:09
So my relationship with my mom georgiana,
09:10 - 09:14
So this mother daughter relationship began in 1999 when I was born.
09:15 - 09:18
So I've been in her daughter all my life for 22 years and my
09:18 - 09:21
mom has always been there to talk to me throughout my whole life.
09:22 - 09:25
So our motherhood daughter hood is very special to me
09:25 - 09:27
because she has been example to me all my life,
09:28 - 09:31
I realized that the woman I am today has influenced a lot from my mom
09:32 - 09:34
and she and I both have a tough skin through different
09:35 - 09:37
tough things we've been through in our youth
09:38 - 09:40
um positive communication,
09:40 - 09:42
my moment I have or that we are very comfortable
09:42 - 09:45
sharing of struggles and also our hobbies with each other
09:46 - 09:47
negative communication,
09:48 - 09:51
it's mostly on me, but it's if I'm going through something,
09:51 - 09:56
I kind of bottle all in and then my mom noticed that something is obviously
09:56 - 09:59
wrong and she asked and then I just blurt it all out and tell her,
09:59 - 10:01
so maybe like the with holder
10:02 - 10:05
and the communication is the show with
10:06 - 10:08
on the concept that I see
10:08 - 10:11
here with my mom is like culture and ethnocentric
10:12 - 10:17
and I noticed that like my mom and I both love pop culture, which is like,
10:17 - 10:21
you know the music and the trends from like our teen era.
10:21 - 10:24
So like my mom, she was a teenager and young adult through the eighties,
10:24 - 10:29
so she loves a lot of like eighties music, eighties movies, eighties pop,
10:29 - 10:31
And so I was a teenager through the 2010s,
10:31 - 10:35
so I love pop music and pop culture from that period.
10:37 - 10:40
So the conclusion of my seven relationships,
10:40 - 10:43
each one of these relationships are very special to me
10:44 - 10:46
and I'm blessed to have a loyal best friend
10:46 - 10:48
like Caroline who I consider his sister in Zion
10:49 - 10:51
and Heston, he's treating me like a queen
10:52 - 10:55
and I know that's how I would like my future husband to shape me,
10:56 - 10:58
My relationship with kelly has taught me the
10:58 - 11:01
importance of mental health and talking about things
11:02 - 11:04
and being the daughter of God has given me purpose
11:04 - 11:06
and hope that I am part of a bigger plan
11:07 - 11:09
and I know that my relationship with jesus christ as my
11:09 - 11:12
savior has saved me and I strive to be like him.
11:14 - 11:16
My sister had with leah has helped me become a better
11:16 - 11:19
woman because I want to be an example to her.
11:20 - 11:22
My mother has guided me all my life and I
11:22 - 11:24
want to be wise like her from life experiences,
11:25 - 11:27
relationships have not been easy.
11:27 - 11:30
There have been ups and downs in our roller coasters of emotion
11:32 - 11:35
and that is my conclusion to my
11:35 - 11:37
relationships, I say.
