Love and stuff...

Don't promise forever and always when all you want is right now.

Curiosity had an accomplice when killing the cat; Impatience.

    What is disappointment? Why are people disappointed? If disappointment comes easily, then what allows disappointment to leave as easily? How does one overcome disappointment? For me, disappointment comes along when I have foolishly set myself up with illusions of perfection. I realize that I know how disappointment sneaks in, however I can not seem to stop him from his sneaky attacks. My latest disappointment has attacked with a the illusions of love. Ever since I was a child, I was taught through disney movies, and fairytale princess stories, that a prince charming would come and sweep me off my feet. I was also taught to expect to be treated as a princess should. I confused this with, whatever "prince" comes along and treats me like a "princess" would be the one to give me a happily ever after. Disappointment snuck in like he usually does and took hold of my heart. Disappointment told me the truth. He broke my heart. He opened my eyes to the jerk in tin foil riding a donkey that I thought was my knight in shining armor riding a white steed. At first I was angry with this discovery. Why had disappointment let this happen. Looking back, disappointment might not have been a bad thing. What if I had fallen for that tin foil wearing fool? Would I have had to hop on the back of the donkey and bake like a potato against his foil fashion statement? Would there even be room on the back of the confused, morphed, midget horse? Would I have had to walk along side him while he rode? Like a slave? The what if's make me shudder. So just this once, I thank disappointment and continue on my way. Now over the years, disappointment has been my constant companion, always standing behind me waiting to step forward and the betrayal of a friend, a cheating boyfriend, a christmas present not asked for, or a movie with too high of hopes. Thinking about things maturely has been something that I have always thought I did. However, maturity is not something you earn. It is an acquaintance of disappointment that decides when to step forward and show his face. Maturity and disappointment are things that I have battled with. I try to fight disappointment with not getting my hopes up, keeping an open mind, and simply battling the urge to daydream. Maturity is a much more difficult opponent to beat. Trying to hold on to childhood is like holding on to money at an H&M. No matter how hard you try to fight the strength of maturity or the strength of Mr. H&M himself, the chemical nature and the physical need to let go to that childhood, or money, always wins. It's a melancholy feeling that accompanies the victory of the two partners in emotional growth. One wishes to be upset. It's easy to feel sad or angry that disappointment won again or maturity took over your mind. I however, have chosen to see things from a different angle (which might be the maturity talking). Could it be that disappointment has our best interest in mind? Without disappointment, would we know what our heart truly desires? Will we ever learn to accept disappointment as a blessing?

Shoe fly, don't bother me!

Excuse me blog world, but I have something to say. Cute shoes are like children. They deserve to be treated with the best care and they need to go out and see the world in order to "break in" and be comfortable as the shoe, or person, that they are. I believe that if a shoe is being neglected and abused, they need to be taken away from the person that is doing the abusing, and given to a good home that can give them the care and attention that they deserve. Just like with beautiful children. That's all, thank you.

Fork goodness sake.

Thork; noun. a wanna-be fork, a three prong utensil, three + ork = thork, four + ork = fork.
ex sentence: Jenna hates eating banana pancakes with a thork.

I am aware that a thork is able to get the job done and that I should not complain but I must point out that thorks feel uncomfortable in your mouth and injuries are more common while using one as opposed to a fork, being as they are more stabby.

I just had to get this off my chest :)

thanks blog world,

Love is like shaving your legs. Why you might ask? Because when you shave your legs and you go really fast because you are in a hurry, you almost always miss huge patches of leg and leave yourself cut and bloody. But if you take it slow and use caution, you will do a great job, and the outcome is a smooth, shiny, soft legs that you are ready to show off and tell your friends about. And if you ask me, there is no better feeling then being in love. Just like having smooth legs is an amazing feeling. So, my advice of the day? Take things slow and cautiously, trust me. It will "shave" your relationship ;)

"It rains too much here! Why did we steal this land from the Native Americans?"-My grandfather

Today was another rainy day in Oregon. I woke up and my body said, "Jenna, what are you thinking getting out of this warm bed? I refuse to move for you." And so long story short, I was late for class. This is a typical start to a typical day of my life. I am grateful though :) I am grateful for everything that I have. I have been blessed with an amazing family. Friends that make me laugh til I pee my pants. Food to eat. A body to use. Air to breath. Clothes to wear. Pets that are excited to see me when I get home. Etc. :) And I have learned to deal with my imperfections (although there are more of them than I would like...)Tonight Glee is on and I am very excited!! I love to sing and it makes me happy to see other people sing songs that I enjoy as well. Even though I have a lot of school work and tons of chores and other random things to do and my job doesn't pay nearly enough for car insurance, gas, spending money, etc, I try to stay positive. Ok I am going to stop talking about the negative things because I just realized that they are bringing me down hahaha and I don't want to be a debby downer!!! I am going to go eat dinner now, I'll talk to you on the flip flop later blog world.

Day 1-Lonnnng day

So today I woke up thinking it would be a normal day. It was not however. It was filled with surprises around every corner and it just when I thought it couldn't get worse.....it got better. I decided today that even though it sucks for me, I can only feel how I am feeling and hope others are on my same level. I realized I have been so stressed out because I have been worrying about other people. So I understand that it is crazy to think someone feels exactly the same way about me as I do them. So, I've come to terms that I am just going to live my life and be happy and be welcoming of each situation. Because even though I wish I did, I do not control the world. So I may not be the prettiest, or funnest, or smartest. But I'm Jenna. I know now that some people might not want me the way I am but anyone who purposefully misses out on me is missing out on an adventure. I am saying this now but who knows how I'll be feeling later hahaaa. Well anyways so I had a great rest of the day after I decided to just let things go and to stop taking myself so seriously. I am happy at the moment and tired. I can't wait to get in my pj's and watch gossip girl :) Let's face it. I'm a goofball insecure girl and I wouldn't have it any other way. Its time I let go of my hurts and fears and just.... "be me" (as cliche as that sounds haha.) I need to start taking care of my own needs. Goodnight and until tomorrow blog world.

Meet Jenna

My name is Jenna. I guess I'm a regular girl with a lot to say. Anyways....here are my ideas on things. My ideas on music, I think music is the greatest invention. I wonder who the first person to sing was and what the heck they were thinking. Whoever it was, I would like to shake their hand and bake them a lovely eclair as a thank you. My ideas on love, love is a wonderful gift. It can bring us the utter-most happiness, or the polar opposite of sadness. Some people abuse the gift of love and that is not nice. In my opinion, love means to sacrifice unconditionally for a person or thing that you can't live with out. Some people say falling in love takes a while. And I had never fallen in love until I met a certain someone. And when I did, I fell fast. My feelings have always been stronger than the average being I think. Because when I fell in love I knew right away and people thought I was crazy. But if I could I'd look them in the eyes and say, "listen pal, you're the crazy one." Whoever says they aren't in love with someone they are seeing is either in serious denial or has some issues with letting people in. Cuz love isn't as complicated as we make it out to be. Loving someone simply means you admire aspects of their life and love your life with them in it. It means smiling at what they say or looks they give. Finding happiness in theirs, and wanting to occupy your time with them. So some people have fallen in love many times. Or some, like me, have only fallen in love once. But being in love with someone and loving someone are different things. Like I love my friends. I love my family. I love my dog. And that doesn't mean I have an intimate relationship with them. It only means I care strongly about them. So I honestly do not understand why people are so scared to love and why love is a huge serious thing. I feel sorry for those people. Love is my favorite part of life. I am in love and it is the reason why I see colors in the world and why I laugh when I trip over things, why I cry in sad romance movies, why I am able to forgive and accept everyone and why I play music and sing in the shower, why I love to dance. Love tickles my fancy. I'm love's number one fan. I love love. Ok moving on: my ideas on school. Although I hate the thought of school and dread leaving my warm bed every single day, I am grateful for it :/ I can't help it. Education is a gift. I am so lucky to learn new things and gain an opinion on the world I live in. Let's face it, we'd be nowhere without our education. My ideas on food: eat it. its good for you. and tasty too. My ideas on serving others: this one goes back to the idea of love. When you serve someone else, you are growing your love for them. For me, I love to make people happy. It makes me feel happy that I am changing someone's life and it makes me want to change my own. Serving others helps me to realize what is most important in my life.
So now that you know a little bit more about me, I guess if you want you can follow my blog to hear about my everyday experiences in this whurl wind we call life.
