Perfectly Imperfect

No one is entirely perfect, but I have acheived perfection in one thing, imperfection. I never seem to be what's right for anyone or anything. I don't know how to make others happy. I can't live up to their expectations and make them proud. I'm too selfish to help or to truly sacrifice for anyone. I don't fit the qualifications for any category. I'm too small for soldier. I'm too uncoordinated for dancer. I'm too messy for a roommate. I'm too selfish for friend. I'm too homely for pageant girl. I'm too stupid for scientist. Too impatient for mother. Too needy for girlfriend. Too lazy for scholar. Too shy for public speaker. Too quiet for noble leader. Too loud for obedient follower. Too calloused to be sensitive. Too weepy to be tough. I just seem too something for everything. I'm stuck. Maybe I need to create my own category. I am the perfect Whitney Thayne. However a Whitney Thayne ranks way below a friend or a scientist. What use is a personalized category if it has no credibility. *sigh* I guess I'm just stuck being perfectly imperfect.

Reclaiming my muchness

This blog post has been stewing in my brain for quite some time lately. Now that doesn't mean that it will blow your mind or have any literary value, but at least it's better than a line or two and a music video. Well... at least I hope it is. I'll try to be as open as possible even if that leads you all to see me as a crazy, however, some things still hurt and still terrify me even though it has been over seven years. For the past six months friends have asked me how I've overcome my weaknesses and found zeal for life. Well, here's my story: Fall of 2008, I moved away from home, started my first semester of college, broke it off with my boyfriend of about three years, started dating another guy, and jumped right into the Army ROTC program at BYU by joining the Ranger Challenge team. My life was drastically changed. Being human - a creature of habit - I had adverse reactions to these changes. In high school I was deeply invested in my schooling. I did all of ...

"The hardest thing you will ever do" - Parenting

Parenting.  People say it's one of the hardest jobs in the world and that raising kids is the hardest thing you will ever do.  Why is that?  What makes it so hard? First we need to understand the difference between complicated and hard.  Complicated is something like crochet or knitting. There are technical things involved and a lot of little steps.  There are special skills to learn.  However, once you get past the complications, it is very easy and doesn't take much effort. Something that is hard, doesn't have to be complicated it all.  In fact, it can be incredibly simple. Something like serving others.  It's not complicated.  You just do it!  But it can be so hard.  It's emotionally tolling at times to remember that there are others out there and it can be a sacrifice to your own physical well being. Being a good parent is very much like that.  It's not complex or complicated.  It's actually quite simple: put you...
