Define "Truly Amazing?"

     I'm adding something new to each and every daily blog! I found this little notebook my mom gave me when I was younger, with a quote in it for every day of the year. The quotes are about friendship. I thought it would be cool to post a quote a day, for added inspiration. Enjoy!

     Thought of the Day: Friends "May 2nd; You can lean on a friendship on your road to success. You appreciate that friendship when your friend is happier about your success than you are."

When my thoughts were too overbearing, when my feelings were too consealed: I cried. I cried for you, and I cried for me. But my tears won't hold me back.
Although, there is nothing like the color in my eyes after I've just poured my heart out on my pillow. <3

     So many of my friends on Facebook already know this, but the results to my blood test came back Monday. I don't have diabetes, a major heart condition, or brain damage of any kind. My doctor said I am extremely healthy, which I was really happy about. I'm glad there is nothing physically wrong with me causing me to rapidly gain weight and all of that. I know now for sure that it is all a psychological thing. And also, next Wednesday, I will be meeting with my new counselor. Hopefully, this lady will actually give me some good advice because in 7th grade, I had a terrible counselor!

     For the first time in a long time, I am at a loss of words. Don't ask me why, because I know it happens to the best of us. Some of you may ask, "So what do you know Jehna?" or "What have you learned today?" Of course, knowing me, I really didn't get anything out of school. I already know most of the material and I am to the point where I am bored with everything we "learn". I'm learning each and every day how to improve my social skills and outlook on life for example. Today was a Red day at school. I attended Catering I, Spanish I, Earth Science, and Journalism I.

     In Catering, I learned that teachers sometimes can be your best of friends or the people who you know you can trust the most. My Foods teacher is one of the greatest ladies to walk this Earth, I swear. She knows me now on a personal level and I feel so connected to her. She is very good at being a teacher and she is an excellent role model. Don't you just wish more people in this world were like your teachers? I do all the time.

     In Spanish, I learned that some people are always going to be rude. Some people are always going to be self centered and oblivious. Some people are always going to be stuck in this town, because they don't know any better. Those are the type of people I ache for. I know my life in this town is not perfect, and it is not where I want to be. I didn't expect my life here to be all rainbows and kittens either! Anyways, they think their lives are perfect in this small town, when in reality there is so much more out there yet to be discovered. Those are the people who are well known in the town, but not necessarily liked by majority of the population (if you are picking up what I am putting down). And, on the contrary, some people are always going to be dictated by these type of people, agreeing with all that they do and saluting their every move. It's quite unfortunate. I, unlike this group of people, know that I will soon be in a better place (and I don't mean heaven just yet!). When I grow up, I am going to leave this town. I am either going to move back to my birthplace or I will metaphorically set sail to California. I have always loved the ocean and the beach, and overall, I know deep in my heart that is where I belong.

     In Earth Science, I learned that there are an abundant amount of people in this world with the same or similar interests as me. There actually are some people who think the way I do! Ironically, these people seem to be quite the opposite. Again, I get back on the topic of getting to know the person before judging them. Someone once told me that all assumptions are usually wrong. And that statement is usually true.

     In Journalism, I don't even have a story to tell. Enough said.

     Anyways, I have a new sign picture for you guys. I took this picture while in my room, typing on Facebook and such. On Facebook, it has been interesting. I have had so many positive comments on this blog. It truly does mean the world to me that others think I am inspiring, and that they actually take the time to read this! It gets old talking to myself all the time... :) Here are a few:

- (at about nine p.m.tonight) Jehna! You are seriously such an amazing amazing girl!! You seriously are so inspiring and I love you so much! When you said your mistakes do not define you that is just amazing and very well said! You are seriously so special and so beautiful! Keep up all your doing! Not only are you benefiting from it but you are making a difference all around you and that is so awesome! I don't know how many times I can say how amazing and sweet and just all around great of a person you are! ♥ (This was one of my all time favorite messages! This girl is simply spectacular. I have always really looked up to her and I know that she is an absolutely beautiful person inside and out. We need more young ladies like her in this world. Thank you!)

- (on Sunday) Nice blog; I like it! :) I am glad to see you take these burdens of life and return them to the world for awesome advice! :) Good for you! I like your blog a lot! :) However, I have some, yeah you guessed, Christian advice. And it is up to you if you want help with these series of events. Revelation 3:20 "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." Just ask for the advice. :) Anyhow, you still will remain in my prayers no matter what, God bless! :) (Now this guy, of course, is someone I have been talking to for quite awhile. I actually trust him a lot and he has helped me through a bunch of stuff. Although we are distant in public, he is a good guy, and I'm glad I can say that about him. Thanks, you know who you are!)

- (on Sunday) Jehna that is truly amazing. I would never have the courage to admit so much about myself and it's really awesome that you did that. I really wish I could be like you... you are so motivated and you know where you wanna get and how you're gonna get there. That's truly inspiring♥ I also wish that more people could take the time to know you because it's so worth it. You mean the world to me♥ Thank you for being my best friend(: (This message was from one of my very close friends. She is one of the most loyal and emotional girls I know, and I love all of her intentions. She has really opened my eyes, and I'm glad we officially became friends in 7th grade. I will never forget that year, where my friends absolutely changed my life. Thank you girls! You made me into the person I am today).


- (about 15 hours ago) No matter how you judge yourself your beautiful in every way. Don't let anyone, or anything, tell you different ♥ (This beautiful lady posted this as her status, then tagged me in it! She was there for me after we took that body fat test yesterday. Who knew she would be the one to tell me just to hug it out!)

     Wow, sorry for this post being so long! I hope it's not a bad thing: I had so much to say to night all of a sudden! This is a picture of my little brother Brady and I... just thought it would be cute to add.



This kid is my best friend. <3
