Hey guys. Long time no blog. First order of business, I've been mucho busy trying to find a second job. Gotta get on the grind for this apartment money. Second, I just started up a new blog on Tumblr, so if you're still interested in my randomness (by the way, peace to Patrick for being my one and only follower-- thanks, bro!), find me at callmejonesy.tumblr.com. This blog is going bye-bye soon. Out with the old and in with the new. Be blessed & behave. Peace.

Let it flow...
In the past week, I've gone through quite a bit in the love department. Mostly, it's self-chosen pain. I've allowed myself to focus on the past & the future and what could be and what probably couldn't be. I realize that this is poisoning a great thing that I have with my boyfriend. I make him happy, he makes me happy, and we're good together. We could be great together, if we allowed ourselves to be. What i've come to realize is that you have to make the best of what's going on in the present moment. The future is not guaranteed. 2 or 3 minutes from now, anything could happen. If you're happy now, do what you can to make sure you stay happy, and let God take care of everything else. Worrying about what could be or could have been is totally irrelevant to what is now.
"Much of your pain is self-chosen.
It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquillity:
For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen,
And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears."

Love Paradox
forgive me folks. just had to get some things off my chest. wait, who am i talking to? nobody reads this shit. anyways, enjoy.
"he came to me with indifference..."
but with an open heart did i receive him
"freely i gave..." myself to him
allowing myself to be molded & folded
into an unrecognizable being
normalcy is obscure
love so pure & tainted
that letting go is necessary
but to do so would leave us both
lifeless...
the pain i feel makes me hate you
& sets my soul ablaze with a yearning
to love you as deeply as I once did
he now gives with an open heart
"but with indifference will i receive him..."
