Jenn's Reverie

Chapter's Of Life
You never really know a person, because in essence, they never really know themselves. People are forever changing. Doing things they never thought they'd do. Hurting someone they never wanted to hurt. Saying things they never thought they'd say. Loving someone they thought they couldn't love. Forever changing, for the good and for the bad. And there comes a time in life, when the people that have been a part of may choose go. Sometime's they find their way back to you, and sometime's they don't ever look back. What's to be done about it? Nothing. You cherish what was, you don't worry about what will be and you accept what IS.

You perplex me.
Then my job here is done. :P
Who are you again?
Madonna.
Aw, Jenn, I totally understand you. I hate when people leave and I usually hope they come back -- unless they're a total asshole, in which case I hope they "accidentally" drive off a cliff.
And I loved your comments on Tim's blog too. I tell you, next time I'm in NM, I'm telling you and we're totally going out!
Amber, we'd totally dominate this place. These kids wouldn't know what hit them.
Oh, and just FYI, for everyone else, too. I'm not sad! This post wasn't meant to be sad. I was just thinking and then spawned this post. It's been a damn good few months!
so it looks as though the New Year's goals are coming to pass for you! i can think of no one who deserves it more.
one other aspect of the chapters of change you describe is this - you say "People are forever changing." which means it is a two-way street so to speak. by that i mean that while others may be changing and moving away or seeming to choose go (as you said), it may be that your change creates some of the distance, for the good and the bad (again, your words).
i know that i am not the same person i was last year at this time. i know there are people that i used to be around alot in the past that, because of moving and job changes, i hardly see anymore. i hope that with the way i treated them, the love we shared, the life we shared and the kindness which went back and forth means that i actually was able to give them something to cherish.
and it depends on what your definition of IS is.....;-P
Kurt, I definately meant it as a two-way street. Hey, I could even be talking about me in that whole post? Or not. I could be talking about one individual. Or not. Human's as a whole. Or not. Or D, all of the above.
What IS. . . IS! It need not be defined.
Word.
Word 'em up.
On a related note the farther people are away, the more not-close they be being. Deep, think about it.
isnt that obvious?
Clearly the woman had a jealous and controlling boyfriend. Good for her!!!
That's the only reason you and Mexi have visited my blog more than once. Okay, not you, but Mexi. 'Cause his is OUT OF ORDER! I feel used.
Mexi, that's very deep. So deep I got lost. Thanks.
Mexi, you scare me.
did mexi just call himself a dick head or insult jenn?
i'm not sure and i don't want to think about that too much....
Oh my. I was gonna comment, but after reading the others I no longer feel qualified.
I can relate to that whole passage. I've spent some time thinking about my friends that aren't around any more, for reasons that I've blamed myself for over and over, but the bottom line is that people do change, and once that happens there is no changing back. We have to accept each other the way we are and all our incarnations.
Awesome post. I completely agree with you.
Just had to glance at your gorgeous picture today!! It always picks me up! Or at least a part of me!!! Just kidding!
glenn miller?
i'm coming through in a week's time, maybe you could drop me an email or your digits if you want me to shout

Wow, that's deep. And so fucking true, you can't worry about what will be eventhough I'm someone that does that to frequently. With almost every step I take I have to know what consequences that decision has. And the decisions you make without thinking are the best, I should do that some more.
cherish what "is"
not so much "what was"
hmt - there are some things that were i will treasure as much as anything that is or is to come.
but i see your point. live today. remember yesterday. i think jenn has been saying that for the (almost) year i've been reading her. it is a great reminder.
There are people from my past that I wish I could see again, but sometimes I am glad just to have known them when I did. Life just goes fast now with work and a family. There at times where's hard to imagine that I actually had to look for things to do.
Certain people are in your life for that period of time for a reason. But at the same time - we always have freewill.
Amazing how staying in the presidential suite can clear your mind.
well, remember that she had emptied her mind not too long ago....

but thats why I heart you Jenn :)
