Tonight, I went and saw Crazy Stupid Love - what I thought was going to just be another rom com. And in fact, I was wrong. Although I was laughing my a*s off at Steve Carell and drooling over Ryan Gosling, I thought it was a great movie with some great meaning behind it. Of course we all know some relationships work and some don't. But I think the movie showed the audience more. When there is love, you don't want to let go.
"When you find the one, you never give up"...a legit quote from the movie.
You might think, ohhh so cliche. But I really like it. It's simple. And I thought I would share with my people. It's really not complicated. Everyone deserves their crazy stupid love and they shouldn't settle for anything less. Move on and don't look back. Usually when you reach this point, that guy or girl gave up on you. It's life and it happens every day but at least it's one step closer to the real thing.
Oh wow, DEEP.

It was OK. I was a bit disappointed. It was actually a bit hard to watch at points. But yes Gosling is super hot!!! You should see Blue Valentine…now that is a very well made film!

I believe that rethinking and searching for other perspectives are one of many positive things can come from probing deeper or wider. I believe that it can show a person healthy patterns for pronlem solving and show unsupportive patterns that can be worked out.. I often note when I or other people replay over and over and fall into patterns that put someone in a space that is not freeing up but limiting. People are speaking to themsevles from fear based or love based spaces within. I ask myself where the thought coming from.

I thought the movie was fantastic. Yes, love can be crazy, if not most of the time. And love is stupid if you let it appear that way. But mostly, love is what it is. And there is nothing more powerful, motivating or inspiring than love itself. The movie also depicts marriage in a very realistic manner. People tend to become complacent in their marriages and forget the weight of the commitment they’ve made to each other. But in the end, love can overcome even the most undesirable circumstances.
Oh, and it was hilarious!

Hey Jenna. Do u have twitter or facebook or email ? I think your amazing and shouldn’t be alone.

I think when you “over analyze” things you you keep yourself from enjoying life… Love will come to you when you just “are.” and not try to “be” something you probably aren’t.
Lets things be… and not question why…
You shouldn’t have to be alone <3

Hello!
Your post facilitated the proper use of one of my favorite quotes.
” A life unexamined is not worth living.” -Socrates
Is there really such a thing as overanalyzing? It might depend more on the context, but I would say no. Analyze till your heart is content.
Maybe, THE Over-anaylst herself would agree too, after all, being able to think and think well is to use well the mind God has given us. I can’t imagine not being able to ponder the beauty I see in nature, or reflect more deeply on what I feel from other people. I would probably begin to worry if I felt nothing inside of me when I interacted with life. But I think (you see, I am analyzing now) I am able to infer more accurately what you really mean to say which is to be in the moment and to enjoy the moment for what it’s worth, and without always trying to attach a reason to it. Yes, that has merit too. I applaud you!
However, I could never not ask the greatest question in the entire universe which is “WHY?” Ha Ha
Sincerely-

Hello Jenna!!!! First thing I have to say is, love the glasses.. I have to say I did see you on the Bachelor. It was the first time I seen that show. I would say that bachelor guy is gonna missout. He looks like a 29yr old tool. I have to say to you, your still young.. you have enough time that love will find you. And when you dont espect it, it will hit you hard. Meantime just enjoy life, and live it to the fullest… Take care

i am so sorry for how things went down for you on the bachelor – clearly we ALL have a lot to learn about how to go about finding “love”…& perhaps the most valuable lesson learned (in watching you)…was knowing that we must all find & love ourselves first before putting ourselves out there to the world…
best of luck in your search…

Jenna, I hope when you get back home you’ll realize that you’re a beautiful woman with much to offer.
Be better than the Gap….
One of the best, most memorable lines in recent movie history. I loved that film; for what it’s worth, it was painful, touching, zany and man… Ryan Gossling …. I think that’s the best I’ve ever seen him!
Thanks for sharing, and know that you are so beautiful girl!!!
