Jen Lilley Instagram – I haven’t done a 5 things you didn’t know about me post in 3 years! So here’s 5 random facts:
1) I have tons and tons of photos like this I forget to post because I often think social media feels pointless and vapid. But then I remember that the last time I felt this way, I dug deep and reframed social media as a way to find my tribe and my people. I have met, known, and grown to love so many of you, and I promise I’m going to try to stop being such a hermit and post more personal posts. Starting with this.
2) I don’t like journaling. I love the way they look, but I always wonder who you’re writing them for. I mean when people journal, do they realize one day it might be read when they’re dead…and are they writing for that person? Can you ever be truly vulnerable without feeling someone would find it later and judge you? Does anyone else ever have this question or is that just me? Any journals I get I end is using for taking notes or making lists.
3) I make a lot of lists. Right now I have 574 notes in my iPhone. And that’s after I deleted about 75 on my last plane ride 😅🤣
4) in the “marshmallow experiment” conducted on kids, I think I would have lasted a few days vs the 15 mins. I am ridiculously grateful for every thoughtful gift I’ve ever received, but I have a TERRIBLE habit of not opening gifts I get for MONTHS! and it’s not because I’m not excited, it’s because I’m weirdly reward based and I feel I need to earn the right moment to open it 🫠 just ask @thecoppernest who sends THE BEST gifts anyone could ever dream of and so I set them in my office and look at the box each day til I feel I’ve accomplished enough to stop and treat myself 🤷🏼♀️ so hey, if I finally land my dream role in about 15 years, it’ll just fit my personality
5) I have an accidental minor degree in Environmental Science. I love love love LOVE LOVE LOVE plate tectonics and earth science! So I took so many classes at the University of Virginia out of sheer curiosity and wonder that my professor said, aren’t you a drama student? Why are you taking these classes? (y’all sometimes we’d work on ONE mathematical equation for a week!) but I LOVE it!
