Magical!

Dear Journal -

So much has happened since I moved to Colorado, that I truly don't know where to start! I guess the best way to start is to probably tell you that all the events that have led me to today, have been extremely wonderful and I am definitely happy! the events that have led me here are all very interesting to say the least.

I want to tell you first about a magical moment that I will never forget, it is magical, not because of the events that took place on that day, but because of the feelings involved and because of the closure the moment allowed.  There were genuine sincere feelings involved in the moment but also fear and nervousness and there was definitely a lot of holding back.  I think the biggest fear we both felt, was the fear of allowing all that was deep inside of us to come to surface, because if that would of happened, it would of been almost impossible to ever let go.  I cannot go into details about the actual events that took place on the second of April, not only because I feel that I want to cherish the event in my memory instead of on a journal, but also because the acts don't always necessarily make a moment special.  I can however tell you about the feelings and the person involved.  

I will start by telling you that on that morning, I received a txt message that I was not expecting, the message was from AJ remember him? http://jazzy-jazzysjournal.blogspot.com/2012/06/f-trust-issues.html well, he and I the day before, had talked about how we both felt about one another and he told me that if I were younger, he would probably be in love with me, because in his eyes I was perfect! while I do not believe that I am perfect in any way shape or form, I do understand what he meant, and I also believe, that he himself is perfect as well, in other words, under different circumstances, we would be perfect for one another.  The sad thing is, that while we agree that we are perfect for one another, we both agree that we cannot be together for many reasons and although it hurts me deeply, I am at a point in my life that I have learned how to love with logic.  I have to understand that you cannot force anyone to want to fight for what they feel and that no matter how much you may want something, you have to allow the other person the freedom to do what is best for them.  For AJ, it is best for him not to be with me, for me, it is best to understand and accept that.

Journal, for the past over two years of my life, AJ has occupied my thoughts daily, he is the person I can honestly say I feel that I am in love with, however, when I think about it logically, I also think that I am more "in love" with the idea of being in love, because I have not felt that for anyone since Benjamin, remember him? http://jazzy-jazzysjournal.blogspot.com/2010/12/omg-my-first-blog-entry.html The best part about what I feel for AJ, is that he and I are such great friends, that I was able to talk to him about all of this, and told him that he was my reason, my reason not to allow anyone else in.  Holding on to him, sheltered me from letting anyone in and allowing anyone to hurt me.  Loving him has felt safe, because I know, that even if he isn't in love with me, he truly loves me as he told me he does.  However, under the right circumstances, I know for a fact that I would have allowed myself to be completely completely in love with him, with all my heart, mind, body and soul! and the only reason why I never allowed myself to feel that way for him completely, and the only reason why he never allowed himself to feel that way for me completely, was because of our age difference, because of the fear of the judgments of others towards what we shared.  It saddens me, that we both allowed judgments to be the reason for us not allowing ourselves to feel what deep down we both wanted, it isn't fair, but that is life and no matter what age I am or what age he is, the fact is that he did not allow us to to share in each other.  I say this,  because I would of fought for what I wanted to allow myself to feel for him, I would of done so, if he for one moment would of showed me that he was willing to fight for it also! 

I have always been a rebel and always will be and therefore, I will never allow what society thinks to be "normal" to be a factor in my life.  I will always do what I want to do, because life is meant to be lived and for that reason I would of fought for us, but only if he would of been ok with it.  He is not and therefore, I have to be understanding.  I know that he is learning and growing as an individual and that he and only he knows what is best for him.

On the second of the month, we were able to talk about everything we both felt, about how special we are to one another, about how we will always be great amazing friends! and that makes me happy! I know that soon, he will probably be with someone else, I told him that I hope that she takes care of him the way I would of loved too, I also told him that I hope she will love him as much as I do, and while I don't think she will, because the way I love him is really unique and special and different and not only romantic in nature, I understand that sometimes in life,  you can't have everything that you want and that you have to be realistic and you have to accept and you have to move on.  

I am really glad that when it comes to him, it is not necessarily moving on, it's more about letting go of that romantic feeling and going back to that feeling that I felt the very first time I met him back in October of 2011 when I started to talk to this young man about life and all of a sudden, we were both engrossed in a feeling of bliss a feeling of oneness, a feeling of magic and genuine care.  I now have to learn how to stop thinking about him daily and allowing someone new into my thoughts.  It is time, that I make my way back into love, without fear.  

Journal, the magic is not in the events of a moment, the magic is in the feeling of true and genuine care, in true and genuine honesty, in true and genuine love and that is why on April first, I had a magical time.  I was with someone that knows me inside and out, someone that knows that I will be here for him forever, through good and bad times.  We thanked each other because with each other, we learned to trust, because with each other, we learned so many lessons.  How many people can say they have someone special that way? how many people can say that there is someone they know, that will always understand them, always be there no judgements? I think he and I are truly lucky!

Thank you my special friend! I LOVE YOU TO DEATH!

My Phantom!

Dear Journal -

One day my life will be totally dull and I anticipate that I will be OK with that! indeed I will! because when life is dull you can just be, be in yourself and enjoy the stillness of being.  Right now however, or today and yesterday at least, my life was an emotional roller coaster that I can't deal with!

It all started when I got home and checked my email and saw Benjamin Nunez's name all over my inbox! Ok.... so he has a blog and I have made comments to many of his posts in the past, and well, obviously there will be a time when someone will go on his blog make a comment to something he has written and then there will be that message that I get because the comment was made, but these emails, these emails they were different and I am writing this on my journal because I am tired of thinking that I am crazy and that I make up stories in my mind that are totally crazy and that maybe, just maybe, I should instead be writing a triller! and not just blogging about my boring life that is not full of "racy" moments, as someone suggested I might have.

Racy! now there is a word that doesn't describe my life AT ALL! have I had sexual moments in my life that I may not be totally proud of? of course I have, haven't we all? Have I done something sexual in my life that is totally bizare or weird or out of the ordinary? what does that even mean? but I am not sitting in my new room in Colorado to tell you about any bizarre sexual moments, I am sitting here writing to you to tell you about one specific moment, a moment that turned this week into an emotional roller coaster! yes..... maybe I am also feeling this way because it's that time of the month, that time of the month where I feel fat and want to eat all the sweets that cross my path! and yes, maybe it's just that I am in a new city and I am surrounded by new people and maybe it's an adjustment thing I am going through, I mean the only one here that I know for over 2 years is AJ and well, he and I, that's a whole other story, although I did realize yesterday that I am in love with him very much so! it's hard, it's hard to feel this way for someone and know that you shouldn't and that you can't and that you won't, but I won't, because love is not what it seems, I don't think it is, not anymore.  

To me love is becoming a four letter word that I sometimes think does more harm then good, especially when it comes to romantic love, but maybe I am just feeling all this sadness inside because the other day I came home after spending the night with someone I am really starting to get to know, to appreciate and to like, and there they were, those emails that made me cry! and I cried and cried and cried and then I wrote a poem, because that's all I could do, just write a poem, a poem about this one man that still haunts me, the one I have been writing about since day one.... Benjamin Nunez! yes the one who's name isn't Benjamin Nunez...remember him? http://jazzy-jazzysjournal.blogspot.com/2010/12/omg-my-first-blog-entry.html but why in the fucking world, would you cry simply because you saw some guys name in your inbox simply because you made a comment on a post that was written in 2008 and then someone made a comment to it? I know journal that, that is what you are asking me, but I will tell you why I cried.  I cried because after all this time, he still controls my mind.  It reminds me of the Phantom of the Opera, she had his voice in her head, no matter where her heart was, there he was, in some way a significant person who had changed something inside of her forever.

I saw the name and then I started to review the comments and the comments where all his comments to the blog post, he was apparently testing something on his site which ok, it's legit, he is a software engineer so of course he would do that right? of course! but then, one of the emails read..... THIS IS A TEST FOR YOU..... and when I saw that email, that is when I broke down.  OH MY BENJAMIN! how will I ever erase you from the depths of my memory? and why still, as I write these words, do tears roll down my cheek? 

I know that to anyone else, that seems normal maybe, but I knew that what he was doing, was on purpose, I knew he was looking for a reaction and that's exactly what I gave him, I hope that made him happy.  I wrote him an email being pissed but being nice, but being me, except I don't know which me he loves more! 

Before I left NY, I contemplated briefly on trying to see him, like stopping by his office and just saying hello, but then I thought about the pain I might feel if I actually did get to see him, it's been over 2 years since I last saw his face, and I didn't think I wanted to see it again, but all of a sudden, these last few days, I want to get on a flight to NYC and just watch him from a far, just see him once, I miss my Benjamin!

So yes, I had a relapse of love perhaps? or of sadness because I am feeling home sick maybe? or maybe It's because it's that time of the month, or maybe it's because I have been spending time with someone who so closely resembles him.  Or maybe it's that he wanted to know something about me, and didn't have the guts to just say hi, like a normal human being should.  So instead he decided to haunt me with his emails, how clever he is! maybe that's why I loved him so desperately! 

I just want this week to go away and that way, this sadness looming over me will go away with it and new days will come so that I can feel normal again, or at least as normal as normal can be.  Benjamin ruined my week! THANKS ALOT B!

Doppelganger........

My heart belongs to me, for once I'm finally free! 

I do not care for thee, for you thought you would have my heart for an eternity! 

and days past you held my heart, and days past you held my soul! and days past you had me all!

but now I'm totally free, I do not care for thee and even if your emails come into my box, it's just more junk mail a piece of trash!

For you are no longer living in me!

You will never have the love again that I so badly wanted to share with thee, and yet I cried when I saw your name, because so deep in me your name may still remain,

and I came to this page to write a poem, because from deep inside me, the words were just flowing.

I do not know, why still the tears, but I know that free of you for ever me,  because you will never come for me, and if you did someone else has me!

to bad for you, a kiss from my soft lips you will never get!

And forever you will always regret!

And my name you will never forget!

so I leave you now to run to another!

He keeps warm, he holds my hand and showers me with kisses, the ones you will always be missing..... so leave me be, stay away from me, I am happy you see, your name is no longer important to me and you in his shadow will always be.....

Your doppelganger!

The Bubble

The Bubble
By: Jazzy


Let me into your bubble! allow me to come into your space.  Let me smell your fragrance, the natural scent that comes with your embrace!

Come close to me just once, allow me to pour my love all over you! let me break down that shelter, the one you have built all around you!

Let me into your bubble! allow me to become one with you.  Get close so I can touch you, and let me feel what for so long I have wanted to!

Come close to me just once, and I promise you won't regret it.  

Come close so we can be one, we will both never forget it.  

Allow me into your private space, where we will both share the same air.

Allow me into your warm embrace and let me show you how much I care!

Let me into your bubble.

I want to thank you!




Dear Journal:

Through music I am able to come together with all sorts of people, because music is one of my passions, music is one of my loves and when I say I love music, I mean that to the extent that I am not stuck on one type, I'm stuck on it all....

I slept over a friends house the other night and I woke up to the beat of this song in the background.  I LOVE this song, I had forgotten all about it, so thank you to my new friends, who are bringing back to my life, some great music!

A cigarette in the dark

"Every time you call me a friend, I die a little more inside" ~ Author unknown


Dear Journal -

I am so sorry if you for once thought that I forgot you, because that would be a false thought.  I have thought of you much lately, but I have to admit that I am stuck on words and can't quite find it in me to sit and write to you, because so many things are new, that I do not know where to start.  First I should start by telling you that I am so truly happy! and although there are a few things currently missing in my life that would make my life complete, I still feel totally content.  

Last night I got to spend time with my friend AJ, remember him? http://jazzy-jazzysjournal.blogspot.com/2012/06/f-trust-issues.html and I have to tell you that nothing felt more complete than to just sit with him in my room listening to music, hanging out with him felt so perfect!  I honestly think it felt perfect for us both, just being with each other and talking and almost catching up to get to where we have made it, which is now.  In my heart I know that what we share is true and that nothing or no one will ever take that away from us; but I have to be aware of another truth and that other truth that I see is that it's complicated, it's difficult and I will never try again.  I will just be the friend that I know how to be and forget that in the depths of my heart, sits the love I feel for him that I cannot express.  Just sitting together in the dark smoking a cigarette looking at the stars and talking, that alone was perfect! and I'll take that over not having him in my life at all.  I know that he knows it also, but he made a decision with regards to me, and I will never try to change his mind, because that is not what friends are supposed to do.  I am truly happy that we are such good friends and that no matter how tough it was to get to where we are now, we did it and what we share is real and pure.  I love him in more ways than one and he is my family in my new home.

I have been meeting a bunch of new people in the new city where I live, which by the way is an amazing place! I am so excited to be here and to be able to start a whole new life! I am so glad that I made this decision and stuck to it and that I did it and that here I am, ready to take on a new challenge, start new and be exactly where I have wanted to be for so long.  I have been here since February 16th and I feel like I have always been here, like I was destined to be here all along, I finally found my perfect home!

I also met someone a few weeks ago that has a striking resemblance to Benjamin Nunez, remember him? http://jazzy-jazzysjournal.blogspot.com/2010/12/omg-my-first-blog-entry.html, it's so weird how much this man that I met looks like him.  The weird thing is that he is nothing like him personality wise, so whenever I hang out with him and look at him, I feel like I'm looking at Benjamin, but talking to someone else, I don't know how I feel about their similar looks, I'm not sure if I am going to appreciate this person for who he truly is if I keep making that connection between them.  Benjamin did me so wrong, that I am not quite sure I am as fond of him as I once was, I am not sure that I want to know anyone else like him and although this guy isn't anything like him AT ALL! personality wise, the fact that he looks so much like him, sometimes makes me feel strange.  I think that I will just separate him from Benjamin all together and give him a chance to be my friend without connecting him to someone who broke my heart and never again spoke to me as if I had done something really wrong to him.  So, effective immediately, as soon as I see my new friend and show him Benjamin's pic so he can see his doppelganger, I will start with him from scratch and pretend that I didn't feel attracted to talking to him, only because he reminded me of a love that I once knew, who never ever ever deserved my love at all.  From today on, I will give him the opportunity to be him and try my hardest to look at him in a different light.  I do not want Ben's memory to haunt me every time I'm around this cool individual, because that would not be fair to him.

Journal, I don't know what else to tell you for now, again, I am truly happy and feel complete! life is amazing! ps. AJ is going to draw the tattoo I plan on getting! yup..... I'm going to do it! 

Off to my first jog in 9 months I go!

NEW YORK, I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!

Dear Journal -

I'm leaving the city that never sleeps and it feels amazing! I haven't been this happy in a really long time! I feel free like a bird who can just fly wherever it pleases, it's such a relief to be able to start new and fresh! This whole adventure started about two and a half years ago when I went to my good friends wedding in NE, I went there and had such a great time, I even met a new guy who I sort of dated and although things didn't work out between us, he and I are still good friends.  Anyway, while I was getting to know him I told him one day that there was a huge big world outside of NE and as the words were coming out of my mouth the thoughts were filling my head saying......there is a big world outside of New York as well! and then I remembered my life in Florida almost 10 years ago, and how I really enjoyed that sort of life, the more peaceful more calm, less crowded life.  The space, the cleaner air, the less garbage the happier faces! so after saying that to him it was like a light bulb lit up in my head and probably on that day I decided that I was going to leave NY.  

At first I told him that if things worked out between he and I, I would move to NE, but that since I was in school and I couldn't leave until I was done, he would need to move to NY to be with me in the meantime.  After lots of fights and much confusion and no real relationship with him, we both decided that we were better off as friends (he later admitted he had been scared to move to NY and had regretted my offer) so, after things didn't work out between us, I wrote off the idea of moving to NE but not the idea of moving out of NY.  

But then one day I met AJ, remember him? http://jazzy-jazzysjournal.blogspot.com/2012/06/f-trust-issues.html when he and I first became friends I told him how I was looking to move out of NY and how I was going to start traveling to see where I could move, I knew I did not like FL and I loved Los Angeles, but I didn't want to go there just yet (I think I'll retire in Cali) so he told me that I should consider moving to Colorado, he told me how much he loved it and he started to brag about this city in Colorado that he really loved (he didn't live in it) but he would often tell me how badly he wished he did.  I looked up the city to see what all the fuss he made of it was about and the first time a page loaded on my laptop with the image of the city, I immediately fell in love with it, it was just the place I could imagine myself in.  That next summer after AJ and I met I took a trip there and the minute I landed I immediately knew that I was in love with Colorado! it is so amazing there, I felt as if I was back home in my country (Colombia) because the landscape is so similar, being there felt so comfortable and in that moment, I decided that for the rest of my time while I was going to school, I would simultaneously be looking into moving there.  I have been planning this move now for nearly two years, and it is almost unbelievable that next week I will be writing you my wonderful journal, while sitting in my new place! I cannot wait! not even exhaustion can stop me from wanting to rush there!

Since the time I decided to move there, so many things have happened.  For one my AJ and I no longer speak.  Last summer, I also briefly considered not moving when I found myself having strong feelings for my neighbor remember him? http://jazzy-jazzysjournal.blogspot.com/2012/07/dear-journal-is-it-just-little-crush.html I felt that we had such a strong connection, and I kept thinking that if he and I tried and things worked out, I would just stay here, because I knew that if things worked out between us, that would make me happy and if things didn't work out, well, Colorado wasn't going anywhere, so why not? I mean really, how often in life do you find such a strong connection with someone? even though maybe I was the one who felt the connection but clearly he did not.  I also visited Indiana where my two best friends are originally from to see if maybe that was a good option for me.  

I also panicked last year when I went to visit Colorado again and questioned my motives for moving, I was able to finally meet AJ in person and I told him and myself that if I moved there it had nothing at all to do with him, I wanted to make sure I wasn't moving just because I had these confusing feelings for him.  I panicked a bit about the thought of actually going through with the move, but after talking to him in person and expressing to him all my fears, he managed to calm my fears and assured me I would be really happy there.  AJ wasn't the only person giving me confidence and telling me I could do it,  I had also made new friends who are amazing and supportive! and made me feel better about my choice.  One of them even offered to let me move in with him if I needed to until I could get myself settled. I have gained a bunch of new wonderful amazing friends! they are all waiting for me to get there to start showing me the way, to guide me, to spend time with me and to share in my life, I am truly blessed that I have met such great amazing people and I know that I will only meet more.  

And although I will alway Love New York, I know that there is nothing left here for me, I have exhausted it's resources, I have done it all here, I have given this great city all of me for far to long, and it is time for me to start my new journey in a new amazing place that I will soon call home!

I will leave New York with a heavy heart I am sure, but I know that I will always come back to visit and see my friends, New York will always be my home no matter where I am, especially because according to people in Colorado, I have that "New York Accent" which I wish I understood what having a "New York Accent" sounds like.  I am sure that I will be coming to these pages soon to tell you about my new adventures, to share with you all the hardships, triumphs, happiness, sadness and I'm sure heartbreaks or maybe even love, because no matter where I go, I am still me and there is no place that is perfect, but what exactly is perfect? how can one know perfect if perfect is up to each individual.  But this I do know for sure, I am going there with an open mind and an open heart, ready to take on new challenges, ready to work hard to achieve my goals, ready to take on what life will continue to throw my way, because what is life without exploring it? what is life without trying? without giving? without challenge? I don't know anything else, maybe that guy at my old job was right, maybe I am an over achiever, or maybe Benjamin was the one who was right, maybe I do have a gypsy soul as he once said I did, whatever the case may be, I have never been so sure of anything in my life as am that this move is right.  I follow my dreams! I make them real!

Stay tuned journal, stay tuned.........

Forget Him Heart............



Forget Him Heart
By: Jazzy



Forget him mind erase him heart, Unless he called me to tell me that he loves me, I don't want a call.   
Unless he wrote me and wrote the words I love you, I won't care to read at all. 

And days have come and days have gone and still he's present in my memory, and still he lingers in the surface, will I ever get to bury him deep inside my soul? a place where no one will ever know? and from there I won't ever have to let him go?

But I still look somehow to know about him, how is he doing? what has he done? And when last I looked, he had 17 likes, but it didn't matter to me because I didn't care, they don't know him how I do, they will never make him feel so scared of love so true.

Forget him mind erase him heart, forget the moment he broke my heart.  I hate him so, if only he could know, that without him even wanting to he changed me forever, and I'll always regret that we were never together. 

His fear of love pushed me away, and he asked me to go, so I will obey.  To make him happy is all that I wanted.   

A simple kiss we were able to share, and in that moment I knew he didn't care. So forget  him mind erase him heart, forget him mind erase him heart.

Why 2012?

 Dear Journal - Life has been happening and this last year has been rough to say the least, but I'm still alive and I'm still kickin...
