Jen,

I found your blog when I was researching the “everywhere girl”. You’re actually very famous within tech circles. I’m sure you know this. Your last post hits home, so I figured I would pass on some words of encouragement.

In three years, I’ve been through enough personal tragedies to fill a life time. So I know what pain, in every form, feels like.

..and it’s okay to feel it. Your life hasn’t turned out the way you hoped. But that’s okay. It’s not wrong that everything didn’t go to plan, just different. Focusing on what could have been, or what you feel should have been, won’t change what is. Focus on the moment because once it’s gone, you never get it back, and we don’t get many moments in our short lives.

Jen, what ever you do, don’t be hard on yourself. Don’t be disappointed if today, tomorrow, or a week from now things aren’t quite right. It’s a marathon, not a sprint, and no human in this world is perfect. Just keep pushing yourself forward slowly but surely toward where you feel you should be going. Keep meeting people, making friends, and growing as a person. To quote Churchill “Never, never, never, never give up.”

Robert Anson Heinlein: “To be matter of fact about the world is to blunder into fantasy — and dull fantasy at that, as the real world is strange and wonderful.”

For me it was the giving up/letting go/focusing elsewhere/not caring/whatever you want to call it. Basically I had a wallow of “oh woe is me”, followed by a “eff it. I’m fine” and, like Lump, stumbled into love. I know it’s trite, but really, focus on what you can see right now, and let the other shi…stuff slide.

sometimes, it takes, thinking out side of the box, to find a mate.

I live in Alaska, and I literally had to find someone in another state that is compatible.

Also … nobody is perfect. Finding that perfect one is one in a billion …

two things: first, the wordbooker pluginn allows you to cross post comments to your blog from FB…

second: if, when i met you, you were in the dumps, i am so absolutely excited to see the new shiny winged you. cause let me tell you, even in your struggle, you were a woman of grace, power, beauty and inspiration. just sayin’.
