Only Time Will Tell

You know time has a funny way of telling everything you wanted to keep a secret. I mean eventually it will make you come clean or it will do it for you. But in spite all of that time is one of the most important if not the most important thing in this world. Timing is everything. Timing is your rest, it dictates what time you go to bed and even get up. Timing is your job, it tells you when to be at work and when you are relieved from work (and for you workacoholics, when your "suppose" to leave work). Timing is your love life, when is the right time to make up or break up. It's all in timing I guess when it boils down to it, without time would be lost.

BTW: Tommorrow is the last day of my internship. Yahoo! :-)

My Philosophy of Life

This is a paper I wrote in 12th grade as an assignment for one of my classes. It was almost like a final. Here is goes:

My philosophy of Life

First I must ask myself, what is a philosophy? When I looked it up there seems to be a lot of answers to this question but one stuck out. It said a basic theory concerning a subject. Knowing the definition of philosophy there is not way I can just tell you in one sentence exactly what it is, so here it goes. The most important above all is to love God, your family, and close friends they are the only thing in life that is almost guaranteed to stay the same (there are some exceptions). If you love you neighbor, you will go far. Tell someone everyday that you appreciated what he or she did. Make someone smile everyday even if it is not you. Do something good for yourself everyday. Live, love, and then share the wisdom you learned in both. Learn something new everyday, even if it is about yourself. Cherish those around you. This world is a big bag of skittles so get to tasting it. Never let anyone make you fell as though you don't belong. Always be on alert of those with a negative attitude. Don't let your feelings get the best you. Even though love is blind you don't have to be. Cherish every person that ever enters your life. Pray everyday for those who are less fortunate. Get a vivid understanding of love, lust, and infatuation. Just because this is a sinful world doesn't mean you have to sin. Only you know the true meaning of your life, it is you responsibility to show everyone else. Beware of back stabbers, everyone is not your friend. Be willing to share leadership, you don't have always have to be the chief. Take sometime and just learn that will lift your spirit it will make you feel ten times better. Sometimes at night take some time to drive slow and look at the lights it will make you feel like a child again. Some people are worried about what bad is coming next, instead worry about what good is coming next, it makes life easier to bear. -Jailyn Stone, May 2003

Half empty or half full?

I just received a long but rather humorous e-mail from my roommate. This e-mail made me laugh so hard and think equally as hard. She included in her "lengthy" e-mail a variety of things that one might think about day-to-day or just occasionally. She went from college memories to relationships to friendships to spirituality to well you get it. It just got me thinking about my college experience being half way over. Of course I am looking at the glass as half full; so I will be making the most of my next two years (or so, hopefully not but we'll see). It made me think about must I am going to miss my friends when I leave (like I do during the summer). But how much fun it will be to meet up ever so often on a beach somewhere just to get away (this means we all need great jobs). This got me to thinking I will be facing the workforce. But I will be able to buy whatever I need and some things that I want (my condo on Lake Michigan nicely furnished and a nice Camry). It made me realize relationships will bring with them a new challenge. In college you don't necessarily have to like everyone in your dorm or class but at work you can't always avoid people like you used to. You have to be a mature adult and put other feelings aside (but don't be afraid to be honest). Also romantic relationships will be different. I mean if you are blessed to find the one and get married, you will have to adjust to each other's living style (and I thought having a roommate was hard, you have to share a bed with this "roommate"). And for those of you who willingly or unwillingly (do to circumstances beyond your control) single and still chose to search; beware of the people out there. I chose to look at these things from the positive side because there is already enough to discourage me, why add on more? But the most important thing is living for each day, so that is why I going to get the bed to get ready for work tomorrow. :-*

"On the Real" # 5

Everything is on the up and up here. Nothing much to cover. I am about finish my 10 week internship, it is a interesting ride. I am so tired I will talk more later. "Keep jokes alive. Bye :)

"Let it Flow"

The song "Let it Flow" by Toni Braxton has taken on a whole new meaning to me. I mean it explains the state that I am in right now. Letting it go and just letting it flow. It may seem to some that I have given up. This is not necessarily the case, I realize that things don't always happen on my watch. I wish so often that they could but that is very rarely the case. In the song Braxton focuses on love and that is a major part of how I feel about love but also about other things in life in general. I mean sometimes all you need to do is wait and trust that everything will work out right. You never know until you wait. I am not saying that is the easiest thing to do but it much better then going in circles or always hitting dead ends.

Like I said since everything does not work out on my watch or in my time period I might as while sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery. You get plenty of chances to mess up in life and learn from your mistakes. Some mistakes are unintentional and some (well you know). Why make unintentional mistakes on top of intentional mistakes? Of course you have to take risks some times but doing something out right just because you wanted to see the outcome of it is just dumb, especially when your the one who gets hurt.
But you live, you learn, and then you do it all over again. ;-}

How much is too much?

Have you ever stopped and thought how much is to much? I am not talking about one specific thing. I am talking everything, in economics it has to do with opportunity cost. What do you have to give up or wait to have in order to get or give something else? I guess some of us never think about that until the problem presents itself. It can be simple things such as getting a lunch from Taco Bell instead Chili's on Monday and being able to get more groceries on Friday (well hopefully you get the point). Or something big like spending time talking with a friend who is having trouble until the wee hours in the morning and getting up late or missing work. Is that too much? As a friend who is in need and as a friend indeed I would say no. Of course the next day I might have a different opinion. But a lot of things in life have a price tag. It might not be a monetary price tag but it will cost you.
So the next time you invest your time, effort, or even money just think about you will be getting or giving up in return. :-D

Hey there, face here!

Hey just wanted to write and say something because I haven't written in a while. And I know a lot of you were worried about me (spudnik ;P). But I am okay just working hard for my money. Can't talk long so I will write longer later. Peace. B)

"On the Real" #4

This is not a direct order nor it is a question but more of a persuasive push. This a quote that I thought of, I thought it was a cute quote.
I have nothing to say, this definitely is a first. Well I guess I will just babble for a minute. So my job is getting better and I am beginning to open up more. I have a conference to attend in three days in Columbus, OH. For some reason I am really nervous but hopefully that will pass before I actually get there.
Other than that nothing much is really going on. I have just really been thinking about life really hard. I would love to share it and I will eventually. As soon as all my thoughts come together. Plus my brain is too tired to really think that hard right now (just kidding). I have the time right now but I will share later. Peace out. -Jailyn :$

How deep are relationships in relation to marriage?

This is a question that I was thinking about the other day. What I meant by this is how deep are dating relationships in relation to marriage? Do you have to be dating to know that the person you are with is the right one for you. Can you just go from friends to marriage or do you have be in a committed relationship first. Personally I feel like if you know then you know go for it. You only get to fall in love the first time once, so make it count. This does not mean that every friend is necessarily up for grabs. It just means if you feel the time is right don't be afraid to dive in and make that relationship count for all it's worth. Don't go off wasting time looking when the one you belong with is right under you nose. Just think of it this way, you can skip the who-ha of dating ups and downs and just get right to the good stuff.

Personal Note: For those of you who watch 'Girlfriends' on UPN, Monday nights. I stated a while ago that I love that show. Well a lot of my friends say I remind them of Joan (I don't know why, so always runs away her men). Well it is probably because I am so picky to them but whatever. Well one thing I want that Joan has is a William. A male confident that I can confide in. Well the other day I found one. Just wanted to share that. So long. :-P

HAPPY 4th OF JULY
