  • My Summer Plan is to Make Mistakes

    My Summer Plan is to Make Mistakes
    2026/06/02

    I want to tell you guys about my summer plans, my big summer of 2026. What is Jenna gonna be up to?

    My whole MO is making mistakes. That’s what I’m going to do this summer. I’m gonna make mistakes. I am going to. I’m gonna do the wrong thing. All the time, and I’m gonna keep doing it. I’m gonna say yes to the wrong invitation. I’m gonna say no when I should have said yes. I’m probably going to kiss somebody. There, I said it. I’m probably gonna kiss someone that I shouldn’t. For sure. I’m going to go to the party. I’m gonna stay in. I am going to listen to my intuition, and I’m going to go for the glory, and I’m going to be wrong. And I’m going to be right.

    But what I do know for sure is that I’m going to be making mistakes, and that’s what I’m going to be doing this summer, starting right now. Starting right now, that is my MO. Also, I don’t even know what MO means. M-O, that is my mission. Onward. That’s what MO means to me right now. My mission onward is to make mistakes.

    I have been feeling like, if I don’t make the perfect choice and be this perfect person in this present moment, my whole future is going to collapse and fall apart. And I know this cannot be true. But I have been operating at like such a level of responsibility where I’m like, I need to do this thing, like it has to be perfect. I’m just like, enough, Jenna. Enough. It makes no sense.

    And I am only where I’m at today because I’ve made so many mistakes. And somewhere along the way, you guys, I need to spill the beans about something. Somewhere along the way I started judging myself. And it’s only came to light recently. Because I’ve had a lot of my friends, strangers, family, whatever, they always come to me and share with me their stuff. They always tell me their things. Their mistakes, if you will. Because they always say to me, Jenna, you don’t have a judgmental bone in your body. Like I feel like I can tell you anything. I feel like I can be whoever I am around you and you don’t care.

    And it’s so true. I don’t have a judgmental bone in my body towards other people.

    When it comes to myself... I have been judging myself. I’m judging myself all the time. Like I’m putting myself under this microscope and I’m like assessing myself as though I’m something linear, as if my life is like a start and then a finish. When I’m like, wait a second. I have the universe inside of me, babe. Like we are here. I am here. This is what’s going on for me too. Like I’m having all these experiences. And I have to stop judging myself. I have to start allowing myself to continue to make these mistakes because every time I make mistakes, oh my god, it just helps me grow and I learn and I evolve and that’s the whole point.

    And so yeah, I just wanted to share this with anyone who, you know, listens to me. That’s my whole MO. My mission onward. Again, I don’t know if MO’s the right word here, but my MO, my mission onward... wait, is onward? Yeah, it starts with an O. I was like, wait. F**k. Um, but this is my mission onward. To make mistakes. I am going to just keep ripping it. I gotta keep ripping it.

    And on the outside looking in, someone who knows me might be like, what? Like, this doesn’t feel new to me. No, there has been an internal shift. Because I realize I have been judging myself. And I don’t judge other people. I really could give 2 s***s what other people are doing. Because I see other people so, so just like as this perfect mess, cluster of energy, atoms, DNA, years and years and years and thousands of years of evolution. I’m just like, you are a beautiful masterpiece. You are a mess and you are a human and I love it.

    And somewhere along the way I stopped realizing and remembering, that’s what it is, I stopped remembering that those same things apply to me.

    And I’m gonna allow myself to keep making mistakes and smile through it and not judge myself through it and just like, mess up. I’m gonna keep messing up. That’s what I’m gonna do. And I know it’s like silly because it’s like, this summer I’m gonna make mistakes. But I really mean for the rest of my life. And I’m just like, I need to be cool with it because it’s going to keep happening. And so I’m just like, I need to get over myself.

    So. In case you’re wondering, yes, I will be making a lot of mistakes and... jokes on... capitalism. I’m not going to judge myself anymore. And I am gonna blame capitalism. I need something to put my finger at in this very moment. So capitalism it is. Joke’s on you.

  • Allowing the “isness” of all Things

    Allowing the “isness” of all Things
    2026/05/30
    Okay, so I’m currently reading The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, and it’s... well, it’s changing. It’s changing my life. It’s exactly what I need to be reading right now because I didn’t realize before this book how much I am unnecessarily thinking. Okay, and like what my thinking does to me, a.k.a. causing suffering.And I’m reading this passage right now and I just want to read it out loud. I wanna read it out loud. That’s what I want to do. Like it’s so crazy to me that I’m like... wait, is this what I... yes. Okay. I’m just gonna rip it.So I’m on page 182. And the little section within this chapter is called Impermanence and the Cycles of Life. And it goes.However, as long as you are in the physical dimension and linked to the collective human psyche, physical pain, although rare, is still possible. This is not to be confused with suffering. The mental emotional pain. All suffering is ego created and due to resistance.I underlined that for a reason. Because I’ve realized so much throughout these last couple of weeks, well, the last couple of years, let’s get real. But especially the last couple of weeks reading this book, that all of my suffering is created by thoughts that stem from psychological time. Psychological time being thinking about the past or thinking about the future. And then me resisting the present moment because I’m thinking about the past or the future. Okay?Anyways, I will continue to read on here.As long as you are in this dimension, you are still subject to its cyclical nature and the law of impermanence of all things, but you no longer perceive this as bad, it just is. Through allowing the isness of all things, a deeper dimension underneath the play of opposites reveals itself to you, as an abiding presence, an unchanging deep stillness, an uncaused joy beyond good and bad. This is the joy of being, the peace of God.A caveat, when he says the word being, he’s talking about God. When I say God, I mean the universe, nature, whoever Siddhartha Gautama found when he was enlightened under the tree, whoever Jesus was talking about. Like I’m talking about that thing. However anyone else sees it, I have no idea. But anyways, I just kind of wanted to put that out there as well.And I just love that he said allowing the isness of all things. Just allowing things to be what they are. Because human beings, we have this... it’s an illusion, through my understanding. Of cause and effect, good and bad, right and wrong, evil and good, whatever. And he’s saying that underneath that, underneath our mind perceiving things as good and bad, cause and effect, right and wrong, whatever, is the isness of all things, which completely prevails. They prevail against this whole notion of something being good or bad. It just is. And he’s saying that is the joy and the peace of God. Okay?Anyways. On the level of form, also when he’s saying form, he’s just talking about reality. He’s talking about being alive, being a human being. Like physical reality.So on the level of form, there is birth and death, creation and destruction, growth and dissolution of seemingly separate forms. This is reflected everywhere, in the lifecycle of a star or a planet, a physical body, a tree, a flower, in the rise and fall of nations, political systems, civilizations, and in the inevitable cycles of gain and loss in the life of an individual. There are cycles of success, when things come to you and thrive, and cycles of failure, when they wither or disintegrate, and you have to let them go in order to make room for new things to arise, or for transformation to happen. If you cling and resist at that point, it means you are refusing to go with the flow of life and you will suffer.I’m going to read that again. If you cling and resist at that point, a.k.a. when you cling and resist to transformation, when you resist these cycles of life, then you will suffer. Period.And it’s so true because it’s so much resistance moving on.It is not true that the upcycle is good and the downcycle is bad, except in the mind’s judgment. So true. Growth is usually considered positive, but nothing can grow forever. If growth of whatever kind were to go on and on, it would eventually become monstrous and destructive. Dissolution is needed for new growth to happen. One cannot exist without the other. The down cycle is absolutely essential for spiritual realization. You must have failed deeply on some level, or experienced some deep loss or pain, to be drawn to the spiritual dimension.I can concur.Or perhaps your very success became empty and meaningless and so turned out to be failure. Failure lies concealed in every success, and success in every failure. In this world, which is to say the level of form, everybody fails sooner or later. Of course. And every achievement eventually comes to naught. All forms are impermanent. You can still be active and enjoy manifesting and creating new forms and ...

  • Love Is All Around You Even If It's Not About You

    Love Is All Around You Even If It's Not About You
    2026/05/28
    So I just started my walk. I’m probably going to be huffing and puffing. Mama’s on her incline. Okay. Mama’s on her incline.And you know, I kind of had some... I had some sour news. That came into my orbit. Just some sour news. Okay. You know what? So I closed my laptop. I was like, I’m going outside. This is the perfect time to go on a walk.I start walking to one of my paths that I go on and I hear these like... I hear these little girls talking. Like I think I see someone coming. I think I see someone coming. And like I hear noise and laughter and like yeah, just like little girl voices and giggling.And I’m like, what is going on?Out of the corner of my eye, I see these little girls. They’re on this path that I’m on right now. And they’re just going up and down this hill on their bike. Just having such a good time.And it just hit me. I just had this overwhelming voice message feeling, whatever.A tale of oldest time baby. Just love is all around you even if it’s not about you. There is joy. There is love. There is so many amazing things happening. All of the time. All around you. And just, if something... if love isn’t... if you’re not feeling love, if you’re not feeling joy, if you’re not feeling like child, kid like laughter... it doesn’t mean it doesn’t f*****g exist.And I just feel like I needed that reminder because again, I just had a sour moment. A sour moment. There was no love in that room. No, there wasn’t. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. And that doesn’t mean that it’s anything to even like hold on to. Just a reminder of like, oh my god, go outside. Go on a little walk, ski baby. And just see.All of these beautiful things happening around you. And I just needed that reminder. I did. Cause I’m like, you know, it’s not going as I would prefer. Classic. Absolute classic. But there is still so much love happening all around me. Even if I’m not directly being the one affected. In this moment in time. My turn’s coming.It almost actually kind of reminds me of... now that I’m thinking about it... when I used to serve, like serve tables, work in restaurants, whatever. You know, every one in a blue moon there would just be like a table or a party or people that would come in and they would just like tip fat. Like they would walk in. So this is how it works when you work in a restaurant. Usually there is like some system in play of like, we are rotating. So if this table comes in then Jenna gets it, then Carter gets it, then Adam gets it, then Taylor gets it. Okay. Then you just like keep rotating in this circle. That’s why it’s fair, as fair as possible, right?And sometimes like, you just know. There’s like certain people that come in, certain groups that come in, where you’re like, boom, they’re gonna spend a s**t ton of money and you’re gonna get a fat tip. You’re gonna get a fat tip.And I always knew when that was happening. Like, if it’s not my turn right now, it’ll be my turn tomorrow. It’ll be my turn next week. That’s why, because I had some co-workers sometimes that would be so, so bitter and jealous of other co-workers getting those like big tips, those big tables, those good nights, those lucky rotations, those whatever. And it always confused me why people were bitter. Because I’m like, dude, your turn is coming. Like your turn is coming. This is how the system works, baby. Like so and so is having a really good night but tomorrow might be your night. Like you never really know.And I think that’s... I don’t know why I’m thinking about all of this right now on my walk. But I think maybe it’s because I needed to remind myself of this right now. Of like, okay...It’s not... it’s... it might just not be my turn. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It’s the same with love. Like I’m not feeling love right now. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Go outside. Look at those little girls. Like they are having a blast. They are having a blast. Giggling. Making me feel so happy. Then guess what? Oh, I did feel love. I did feel joy. Because I was infected by their happiness. Their joy. Their whatever.And it’s just like... don’t get so... Jenna, I’m talking to myself, I’m not talking to anyone else. Like Jenna, don’t get so attached and gripped towards these outcomes. Like your turn is coming. Your turn is coming, babe. Oh my god, it’s coming. Just like everyone else’s. Yeah. Right. I’m like, please. Right? Anybody. Anybody at all. But...Maybe it’s the ribs talking. Before I left for my walk I was like, well I obviously need a snack. Has anyone ever... okay I got a couple. Have you ever ate food underwater? One. Two. Have you ever ate like a snack or like brought a snack like in the shower? Or like a drink in the shower or something like that? Like those places where you’re not supposed to be consuming. It’s just like, I don’t know. It’s fun to do that.I just find it...
