  1. Hi, my name is Kristen right? And this is my relationships essay.
  2. So I did my essays on my best friend Caroline,
  3. my other best friend and former boyfriend Huston,
  4. my other best friend, Kayleigh
  5. and my father God
  6. my savior, jesus christ,
  7. my sister leah,
  8. my mom georgiana
  9. and here's
  10. that's the rest of the table continents.
  11. So my best friend Caroline.
  12. So we discovered each other on these social videos,
  13. Twitter and Instagram and then we met in real life at FY in 2015.
  14. So we stayed connected through social media and we texted a lot.
  15. I moved into her award in 2017 and we've been hanging out weekly
  16. ever since and that's how we've maintained our friendship.
  17. So what this
  18. relationship means to me and she's very loyal.
  19. Our relationship is very therapeutic and spiritual
  20. and I've discovered that I am a christ like example and Caroline
  21. told me one time she looks up to me for guidance.
  22. So the positive communication Caroline and I have is that
  23. we're both vulnerable with each other and expressing our feelings,
  24. some negative ones or that she tends to be indecisive
  25. when we hang out or
  26. what we want to do or where are we going to eat at.
  27. So we definitely communicate through our guts, which are jargon and slang,
  28. some examples, we see lit or boogie a lot in our vocabulary.
  29. So my
  30. best friend slash former boyfriend Heston.
  31. We met in 2017 at youth conference,
  32. we went to see some history sites in Palmyra New York in Kirtland Ohio.
  33. So we've maintained this relationship through texting,
  34. We hung out at all the youth dances and
  35. activities and we hung out at each other's houses.
  36. Then we eventually started dating and became boyfriend and girlfriend.
  37. So,
  38. um,
  39. a lot of qualities I see in him are like
  40. what I would eventually look for in a future eternal companion
  41. and I've discovered what I'd be like as a future wife and
  42. I discovered I would want someone like him who's very christ like,
  43. so some positive communication that hasn't only have
  44. or were really good about like planning hangouts
  45. and dates and we really got to know each other and we supported each other.
  46. We're very private about how we showed affection to.
  47. So I thought that was pretty good.
  48. Um, a couple of negative communication.
  49. Um, there was like this big misunderstanding a few years ago,
  50. it gave me a gift that he then he told me
  51. a few years later that he meant it for someone else,
  52. but in the end he wanted to actually give it to me.
  53. So that's what we discovered through talking it out.
  54. So the
  55. um, term from our online textbook
  56. that I have with him, a smell memory.
  57. So especially with what I smell like cologne different men,
  58. like people who come into work and it'll
  59. remind me of him
  60. and take me back to when we were dating.
  61. So my best friend Kayleigh,
  62. So Hailey and I met one time she came to
  63. church with my other best friend Carolina in 2017.
  64. So we've stayed connected through social media and we hang out weekly with Caroline
  65. and
  66. so what this friendship means to me and we're both really silly,
  67. were supportive of each other and we give
  68. each other a really great dating relationship advice.
  69. So from my relationship with Kaylee is
  70. that I've discovered that I'm the therapist friend
  71. and then I can also connect with people of my beliefs and people of other beliefs.
  72. So,
  73. a positive communication with Kaylee is that we're
  74. both really in touch with our emotions and talents
  75. and we help each other with
  76. pois situations with dating.
  77. So some negative communication.
  78. Um she
  79. actually,
  80. she suggested that I completely cut Heston off after we broke up
  81. and I disagreed because Heston and I someone would be friends.
  82. So,
  83. um, Kalish, the concept that comes to mind is perception
  84. about being mindful of the material we receive and evaluate and especially
  85. when it comes to helping each other with our mental health.
  86. So the next relationship with my heavenly father, which is God.
  87. So of course this relationship began with the pre existence
  88. when he created Heaven Earth and all of us.
  89. So
  90. the way is that I say
  91. and communication with my father and we maintain this relationship
  92. is through prayer scripture study is going to church,
  93. going to
  94. why say events and then these events when I was a teenager
  95. going to institute and fulfilling my callings.
  96. I chose heavenly father, especially in his hand in my life and his timing
  97. is so perfect with different people and experiences in my life.
  98. So I discovered that I'm a child and the daughter of God with the purpose,
  99. I'm a daughter of a king, therefore I'm a queen.
  100. So the positive communication with God is
  101. through the promptings of the holy spirit,
  102. wanted me of danger and inspiring me to do good things.
  103. Um, maybe some negative communications are like
  104. when my parents aren't answered as quickly as I want them
  105. to be or if I'm going through a really hard time,
  106. I might feel alone.
  107. Mhm
  108. So with my relationship with God come,
  109. what comes to mind as selective perception for example,
  110. um when I'm at church or an institute,
  111. when there's talk about like connecting to God or obeying his commandments,
  112. I really pay attention to that and it's really important to me.
  113. So my relationship with my Savior, jesus christ,
  114. of course it also began in the pre existence,
  115. We need volunteers to be the Savior of the world for me for all of us.
  116. And then my relationship with the Savior has maintained every week at church,
  117. went to take the sacrament and remember him
  118. and this is the reason I'm here on earth and have a purpose in life,
  119. if it weren't for jesus christ
  120. with their life Academy, loneliness
  121. and I am an example through jesus christ and my love,
  122. especially in the relationships I have here on earth
  123. positive communication with jesus christ just
  124. through reading his teachings from the scriptures
  125. and also an institute,
  126. maybe some negative communication.
  127. Um I'm noticing like in the last year I've been really struggling to
  128. do my own personal scripture study and prayer and it needs improving,
  129. so I'm currently trying to work on that personally.
  130. Um what comes to mind when,
  131. when it comes to jesus christ is the images
  132. of the desired self which includes the concept,
  133. self idealized, self assured self, the public and real self
  134. and
  135. basically I've been told by friends and family that I'm very
  136. christ like and I have a lot of cars like attributes
  137. like
  138. um love for your fellow men and
  139. serving others things like that.
  140. So my relationship with my sister leah,
  141. So the sister had began in 2003 when she was born,
  142. So I've been her older sister all her life for 18 years
  143. and we've gone from like as little kids, we would play with toys, go outside and play
  144. and as like teenagers and young adults now where we go to friends, parties,
  145. dances with church activities, things like that.
  146. So my sister had with leah is a big part of my life and I know I'm
  147. an example to her and I'm very protective of
  148. her as well since she's my younger sister,
  149. so she and I are polar opposites and some things,
  150. but other times it's like we're twins
  151. that includes like the way we communicate in our interests,
  152. an urn
  153. friend groups,
  154. some positive communication that she and I have,
  155. that we definitely help balance each other out in our personalities.
  156. Like for example, I have a very sweet personality, she can be very salty sometimes,
  157. so that's an interesting combination.
  158. Um some negative communication with my sister is like when
  159. she tends to be the mom friend and she kind of moms me and she
  160. acts like
  161. she's a parent but she's younger than me. So it's interesting.
  162. Um the concept that I see with leah my relationship with her is pleasure seeking.
  163. So I noticed that I try to be a leader an example
  164. by putting myself out there
  165. in a certain position, whether it's like an institute,
  166. I try to share my insights and I know that she does as well, so
  167. that's something cool I've noticed.
  168. So my relationship with my mom georgiana,
  169. So this mother daughter relationship began in 1999 when I was born.
  170. So I've been in her daughter all my life for 22 years and my
  171. mom has always been there to talk to me throughout my whole life.
  172. So our motherhood daughter hood is very special to me
  173. because she has been example to me all my life,
  174. I realized that the woman I am today has influenced a lot from my mom
  175. and she and I both have a tough skin through different
  176. tough things we've been through in our youth
  177. um positive communication,
  178. my moment I have or that we are very comfortable
  179. sharing of struggles and also our hobbies with each other
  180. negative communication,
  181. it's mostly on me, but it's if I'm going through something,
  182. I kind of bottle all in and then my mom noticed that something is obviously
  183. wrong and she asked and then I just blurt it all out and tell her,
  184. so maybe like the with holder
  185. and the communication is the show with
  186. on the concept that I see
  187. here with my mom is like culture and ethnocentric
  188. and I noticed that like my mom and I both love pop culture, which is like,
  189. you know the music and the trends from like our teen era.
  190. So like my mom, she was a teenager and young adult through the eighties,
  191. so she loves a lot of like eighties music, eighties movies, eighties pop,
  192. And so I was a teenager through the 2010s,
  193. so I love pop music and pop culture from that period.
  194. So the conclusion of my seven relationships,
  195. each one of these relationships are very special to me
  196. and I'm blessed to have a loyal best friend
  197. like Caroline who I consider his sister in Zion
  198. and Heston, he's treating me like a queen
  199. and I know that's how I would like my future husband to shape me,
  200. My relationship with kelly has taught me the
  201. importance of mental health and talking about things
  202. and being the daughter of God has given me purpose
  203. and hope that I am part of a bigger plan
  204. and I know that my relationship with jesus christ as my
  205. savior has saved me and I strive to be like him.
  206. My sister had with leah has helped me become a better
  207. woman because I want to be an example to her.
  208. My mother has guided me all my life and I
  209. want to be wise like her from life experiences,
  210. relationships have not been easy.
  211. There have been ups and downs in our roller coasters of emotion
  212. and that is my conclusion to my
  213. relationships, I say.
