March 4th Free Write
I hate seeing the number of days since my last post get bigger and bigger! I really love looking back at my past posts and want to be better at writing this year. I have three posts that are "in the works," but aren't finished for various reasons. In order to see a completed post, I've decided to free-write today. Not too much emphasis on the words or format, just what is on my mind for the next ten minutes-
To start- writing is hard for me. I have a strong desire to capture moments, experiences, activities, feelings and life with words, but it takes me a long time to find the right words and put my thoughts down in a way that can be understood...
I honestly don't know what my dreams or goals are. Not short or long term. I generally want to be happier and do better, but I have no idea what that really means for me. Besides a couch...
I do not ever want to own a dog...
I hate making dinner...
I believe the gospel of Jesus Christ is true. But I have a hard time seeing eternal rewards for myself...
I know that I like my eggs scrambled with milk and cheese (see Runaway Bride)...
Sugar and time management are my worst enemies...
Jelly beans with popcorn is my favorite treat...
I wish I were thinner...
The harder you work, the greater the reward. That includes working at happiness. But I'm too tired, no- too lazy to see much reward...
I hate all the ways that people try to look younger and sexier. Why can't we just embrace what we are with modesty? The world's search for "beauty" makes me unhappy...
Why don't scruffy-faced kisses hurt in the movies?...
Teenagers are hard...
I think Satan wins me over with distractions and illusions of perfection...
I want to end on a positive note. What is good today?...
Being inside while it rains...
Knowing my prayers are said...
And my bed is made...
I have nowhere to be until 3:30...
I get to work on Project Life...
and I can submit a blog post.
Don't edit Jenn. Just hit Publish.
added after hitting publish the first time- I wish I could describe the quick jolt of panic and fear that filled my chest as I hit "publish" without editing my thoughts!

These are very delightful, unedited thoughts I'm sure everyone can relate to.
I also do not ever want to own a dog.
I despise making dinner.
I also believe the gospel of Jesus Christ is true, but often feel like I'm failing.
I'm okay with sugar and time management most of the time.
I love popcorn and Reese's Pieces.
I'm too lazy to push myself much.
I hate the fembot nation we are becoming, the fake hair, fake nails, eyelash extensions and so on are just getting weird.
I'd like to try a scruffy-faced kiss with someone from the movies.
Teenagers are definitely hard.
Satan is on to me.
I don't know, I think that being happier and doing better are goals that could make the world a pretty amazing place if everyone did them! Good for you.
And if I was paid $10,000,000 to star in a movie and kiss a scruffy faced hottie, I'd act like it didn't hurt either. HAH!
Love you friend.
Hi. Nice to hear from you.
My dreams and goals are vague, so I have no idea what to do to achieve them.
The eggs you made on Sunday are better than my eggs. Angela would love for me to have the "recipe" so that i'd made scrambled eggs more often rather than my boring over-medium.
Jelly Beans do nothing for me. Oreos, ice cream, and pastries are dangerous. That being said...
I wish I were thinner too.
"The world's search for 'beauty'"... is insatiable.
I've never had a scruffy-faced kiss.
Teenagers are hard. (Try being around 15+ daily...) They are also exciting, full of potential, and regularly inspire me.
Satan often wins. What matters is that we are grounded in Christ and not giving up.
