How I did it: This was a great lesson of character. One that awakens one of all of the little habits and qualities that make a person them self. What I mean is fasting allows you to work with yourself. It gives the chance to learn how to communicate with yourself, test your faith in who you are and what you believe, and it gives you ample time to lose yourself in your current activities. It is all a test of your … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I've been doing this for two years now. It is not something that I wanted to do but I ended up enjoying. This happened when I was dating someone and they cancelled on me. I had all the intention in the world to see August Rush. The whole plot and filmography appealled so much to me. At the time I was really concerned with the thoughts of others but the desire to view the film overpowered any hindering thoughts. I found a time th… Read how I did it…
How I did it: It is always best to do what you love no matter what it takes to pursue it. It has taken me three whole years to commit to dancing again. I had many issues with my body, my mental state, finances, and family support that prevented me from even thinking about achieving this.I must admit I would not have been able to pursue this had it not been for the support of my father.*I researched schools in my area that were exclusive … Read how I did it…
I would like to complete these books before 2010:
I have been suffering from symptoms of fibromyalgia. I see the doctor in a week. I have been resting from activity. My skin feels as though it is being rubbed by sand paper all the time and it hurts the most when I put on pants. I now walk with a limp because the pain is so severe. I hope I can get to the bottom of this very soon.
When most people hear about being celibate for their lifetime they think it mad. I don’t know what makes it so inconceivable for them. I hear a lot of comments saying “If you meet the right person you won’t feel that way” or “It is humanly impossible” or “celibates are closeted homosexuals so that makes them homosexuals”.
I had a very sexually active adolescence. One I am not proud of but it did bring some good and that is knowing that this is something I rather be away from.
I won’t lie I am attracted to both sexes but for me sex is something I pleasure not from. And when I have had sexual experiences with both and the result is the same. I feel as though something has been taken away from me. As though with each experience a little bit of my innocence has vanished. It is a scary feeling for me.
I feel there are too many complications affiliated with the experience. I don’t want to be touched in that way. I prefer to keep this part of myself foreign to others. I prefer to experience other beautiful things in life that make up for that part of my life. Just as others view sex as an expression of love, I view my celibacy as an expression of love. For I can dedicate my life whole heartedly to changing the world. That is what I want. There is no doubt.
Some may think I am off the wall for feeling this way. I don’t feel like I am missing a thing. You know that glorious feeling you get after good sex? Well I have that feeling all the time in its absence.
This is a decision I have made with not association with religious dogma or parental or any social advising. This decision came from my heart.
Here is to a life of celibacy.
