Dream Chasers

I got the best compliment the other day. Totally not being full of myself either. I'm being 100% FOR SERIOUS.

While I was in the middle of another one of my wild and crazy life rants, dropping F-bombs like it was nobody's business, and making myself giggle all the while, one of my friends said: "Ya know....you haven't changed one bit!" Now....for some people....this might make them stop and reconsider what they're doing with their lives. But for me, for right now, it just seemed perfect :)

Jenny's been learning some life lessons lately. Mainly, what it's like to grow up and really become who you are. Actually.....now that I mention it.....that has been my new favorite quote:

"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are."

--E.E. Cummings

Cheesy? Yes. Dumb? Absolutely not. It seems most of us get lost on this crazy, crazy ride and forget why we're really here in the first place. And what I've been reminded of lately, is why I'm here in the first place: to make my wildest dreams come true (: What I've also been reminded of lately, is that all it takes is for someone to believe in you. And I guess while I was out here doing all this so called "chasing," I had forgotten to believe in myself. A couple of speed bumps, a couple of Reese's McFlurries, and a fewww too many cases later (and no, I'm not talking about law school).....I think I'm back on track. It hit me while I was driving the other day (not literally HIT) how many amazing people I have in my life and how many of those amazing people believe in me. In ME. Smartass, ridiculous, outright annoying, crazy, obsessive, musically absorbed, and energetically charged ME. And you know what? That might just be the coolest thing ever.

So now that I've realized there really ARE people out there that support who I am and what I'm doing, I've been using it as my little motivational tool for studying. And guess what? Now I only have 3 finals left between me and summer and I'm feelin' like a rockstar! And now that I feel so fantastical, I would like to remind you how fantastical you are too. So....any words of wisdom for my fellow dream chasers out there? Youuuuu betcha.

Rule #1: Stick to your guns.

Rule #2: Never EVER stop chasing what you want in life.

Rule #3: Don't ever let someone talk you out of you (if that makes sense).

And Rule #4: Never, not for ONE single second, forget that there's someone out there who believes in you.

Because at the end of the day, that ONE, is all that it takes.

Now.........I shall leave you with my latest "dream chasing" song. I actually got told the other day that this is "SO a Jenny song." (I had no idea what that meant until I started doing my "Jenny" dance to the beat. Eek!)

ENJOY!

Mat Kearney--"Sooner or Later"

Lyrics:

We're all standing with our backs against the wall

Sooner or later

Waiting on a phone that never calls, at all

Heartbreak comes strollin' in like a storm

Sooner or later

Trying to swim but you're sinking like a stone,  alone

And I can feel the fire in the night

Waiting here

Baby it's like we're

Walking on a wire thru the fear

Take my hand

We'll get there

Sooner or later

I swear we're gonna make it, we're gonna make it

Sooner or later

I swear we're gonna make it, we're gonna make it

We'll keep running 'til we get our fill

I'll keep chasing it I always will

Sooner or later I swear

We'll make it there

Sooner than later

Sooner or later

We're all waiting on dream that's hard to own

Sooner or later

Trying to feel the high without the low, you know

You can feel the fire in the night

Lying here

Baby it's like we're

Walking on a wire thru the fear

Take my hand

We'll get there

Sooner or later

I swear we're gonna make it, we're gonna make it

Sooner or later

I swear we're gonna make it, we're gonna make it

We'll keep running 'til we get our fill

I'll keep chasing it I always will

Sooner or later I swear

We'll make it there

Sooner than later

Sooner or later

The fear inside the hills we've climbed

The tears this side of heaven

All these dreams inside of me

I swear we're gonna get there
Sooner or later

We're gonna make it......
