LOVE! HOW SWEET IT IS!!!

Last night, I was really frustrated because I always and forever do the same damn thing! I procrastinate on registering for my classes, and then every class I want to take is filled, then I get annoyed at the situation and myself for doing it. 

It is what it is, so far I registered for two, one which is intro to Psychology.  I have to say that I am very excited about it, I took psychology before when I got my Associates degree, so I know that I will really enjoy this.

Anywho, this post is not about my procrastination habit, this post is about my favorite thing in the whole wide world, LOVE.  I have a lot to say about love, but this journal entry is more about a decision that I have made, that is really difficult and makes me feel anxious almost and very sad. 

I started going to the School of Practical Philosophy back in January of 2011, for two reasons, my love for Philosophy and my Love for a man.  You can read all about it at the link below.  http://jazzy-jazzysjournal.blogspot.com/2011/05/this-poster-can-make-you-happier-than.html Anyhow, I finished attending the third phase of the class about a month ago and I said farewell to him and decided that day, that it was time for me to move on with my life, actually, I decided to move on with my life a long time ago, but it had been a HUGE challenge. 

I was really conflicted as to what to do about the next phase of this Philosophy series, because I honestly just love attending these classes, however, attending these classes would also mean that I would have to continue to see someone that I no longer want to. 

So, after much thought and consideration, I decided that although it saddens me greatly not to go back to these awesome classes, I need to focus on my College education which will entail me taking 3 classes this semester and not leaving me room to continue to go to the School of Practical Philosophy. 

I will admit that I feel extremely sad about it, deep down inside I want to see him, but I know, that it is time that I give myself a chance, to give other people a chance to come into my life.  I didn't do that for so many years, using him as an excuse, but now I know that he will never love me or be with me, and as hard as that is to accept, I know I have to.

The School of Practical Philosophy sends me these weekly stories, I wanted to share the one below with you.  I think that it is awesome! LOVE, is so amazing and wonderful! I want to love again, but this time, I want to give my love to someone who deserves it and more importantly, I want to give my love to someone who will give me his love also.  I don't know if I will fall in love next week, next month, next year or even 5 years from now and honestly I am not in a rush to fall in love either, after all, love can be really scary and it most definitely should not be rushed. 

All I know however, is that the only way that I can give myself a chance to love again, is to stay away from this other person and really let him go and move on with my life.  If a wonderful loving man comes into my life and wants to love me, I will be able to love him freely without feeling guilty that I am with him, but thinking about someone else.  That is NOT COOL! and I don't like the re-bound loves, those end up badly!

I hope you will enjoy the story from the School of Practical Philosophy

LOVE HOW SWEET IT IS!!!!

Love

 

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?” Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. “Vanity, please help me!”. “I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat,” Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you.” . “Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way.

Realizing how much was owed to the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who Helped me?”
“It was Time,” Knowledge answered. “Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?”

Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, “Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is.”

So true! LOVE IS VALUABLE! Don't take advantage of those who love you! and most importantly, love the way you want to be loved!
