lex.

sometimes i just get so cheesy with saying my heart languages but i don't even care. 
like what even is a "heart language?" WOW, what a great question!  i'll tell ya! (;
i'd say they're little things that just getcha right in the heart... certain things, like trees and music, that you just can't put words to as to how they move you or make you feel.

one of mine is my name.
i haven't always liked my name, but i'll tell ya, when someone says "what do you think?" compared to "what do you think, alexi?" it just really means a lot.  i'm not sure why.

but my favorite favorite thing is when people call me lex.
and i think i've figured out it's because anyone can call me by my name, but only those who feel truly comfortable enough around me call me lex.. those who really know me, i think.  cuz an acquaintance isn't just gonna come up to me and call me lex.  so i feel like when people call me lex, it's like an honor.  it's almost like a trustworthy thing and a deeper knowing.
my family calls me lex. 
and lately so does my family here, at eau claire.  and it just means the world, i can't even tell you.

But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine."
Isaiah 43:1

^^^and here's a song that I've literally played about fifteen times straight, passed along by a person who means a lot to me.^^^
