Whats matters most is what you think of yourself...

About Me


ELISSA PEARL TREINEN
My friends and family mean the world to me and I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for there love and support. Dancing is my passion. I enjoy meeting new people and love being at the ocean. I am here to live life to its fullest and see what it truly has to offer. I believe if you don't stand for something you will fall for everything.
A little information on relationships:
There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpexted, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. The most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself and if you find someone to love the one you love then that is just fabulous!!!!
My outlook on life:
I am determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation It may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond all measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. Its not just in some of us; its in everyone."

My Interests


*Who are you to judge the life I live- I know I am not perfect and I don't live to be but before you start pointing fingers make sure your hands are clean*

*Kindness in words creates confidence, kindness in thinking creates profoundness, kindness in feeling creates love*

*I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I might have*

*Vengence is a lazy form of grief*

*Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times*

*Waiting for the ONE that I would rather have ONE touch of than live an eternity without!!!*

*Don't ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do that, because what the world needs in people who have come alive*

*Life is too short for drama and petty problems..so KISS slowly, laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly. Life is too short to be anything but happy*

*The best day of my life was the one in which I decided my life is my own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame*

*Thoughts lead on to purposes; purposes go forth in action; actions form habits; habits decide character; and character fixes our destiny*

*Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away*

*We live in deeds, not years; In thoughts, not figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best*

*Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.*

*One day you're going to wake up and realize how much you truly love her, and when that day comes, she'll be waking up next to the guy who already knew...
*It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all...
*All of us who are concerned for peace and triumph of reason and justice must be keenly aware how small an influence reason and honest good will exert upon events in the political field*

*In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on*



I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet strong, HONEST, caring, funny, and passionate people. Since I just moved to the portland area I don't know many people, so if you are someone who can make me laugh than get at me. If you are not honest to me, you will be nothing to me....I will never settle!

Music:





Movies:



Television:



Heroes:

There are alot of people who inspire me to be a better person or have made me the person I am today. My dad and mom have worked so hard to give me everything I want in life and I respect that more than anything in the world. My grandma was the one person in my life that thaught me strength and that nothing can hold you down not even cancer. Oprah and Angelina Jolie are both heroes to me for all the work they have done in 3rd world countries and for the rights of women and children.

"To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness. This state is then no longer dependent upon things being in a certain way, good or bad. It seems almost paradoxical, ...

Nothing can stand alone....

Nothing in the universe can stand by itself---no thing, no fact, no being, no event---and for this reason it is absurd to single anything out as the ideal to be grasped. For what is singled out exists...
