Note to Self:
Do not read your blog again. Especially after reading all those post cards from last summer. Like the one I was about to type out for my tumblr. Do not type, do not re-read. Please. Forget.
Now, to me
There are certain people in our lives that try to keep us feeling like we’re human. They have a sense of superiority over us that puts up a ceiling, one that says “you’re not allowed to grow” or “I’ll always be right instead of you”. I’m thinking our parents during our teen years (because I said so), some teachers (you’ll use math in real life!), and bosses (I’ve been doing this for 30 years, you don’t know anything).
And then, you grow up. You see that you can grow and that sometimes you are right.
Your old self looks forward to the moment you can say “I told you so” to those overbearing figures.
Your new self hits the moment and just witnessing it all— it makes you feel like you don’t have to say anything at all.
These Are My Confessions:
I’m feel like an addict
I am paranoid (at times)
I see the best in most people
I give too much and ask too little
I am by many definitions a redneck
I answer my phone/email/text too often
I feel like I’m growing up faster once everyday
I don’t own enough plaid shirts or solid color t shirts for la
I haven’t been in a fight in a long time and that worries me
If you want to write well you should read; I should read a lot more.
Um, hi. My name is Jessica. Do you need a girlfriend?
How to make jean shorts (jorts)
Email tip from Jessica Schroeder:
- Try jeans on. Mark what length you’d like with a pin or little pen mark.
- Take jeans off, lay on flat surface.
- Cut straight across. Keep disconnected leg.
- Lay cut leg on top of other leg.
- Cut across at this point.
If you want them to be frayed, roll up hem horizontally so that all cut edges form a “surface”. Take a hair brush and just run it over that surface. This will pull out some weft yarns and let the vertical yarns fray out. If you can, throw them in the wash/dry and the fraying will really come out.
Word up. ‘Bout to make some this weekend ;)
