"We're broken people." On the outside, this may seem like a disturbing proclamation, but not to those who know Tyler Joseph of the Grammy-winning duo Twenty One Pilots. It is such a powerful thing to admit to yourself that you are not well; that you carry around sadness until it spills into your heart, and that you can't even face existing some days. But you keep trying, in spite of your doubts. You soon realize that brokenness is not synonymous with unwholeness, and that it takes true bravery to face those three short words down - but even more to take them to heart. Being broken does not mean your life cannot be complete. You can surround yourself with friends, hold a job, have a family that you love, and still possess the introspection to

  • An Analysis Of Daring Greatly By J. D. Salinger

    1050 Words  | 3 Pages

    In order to live a full, "wholehearted" life, we need to gain a better understanding of the true nature of vulnerability. Millions of children have been introduced to vulnerability by author J. D. Salinger. Salinger was vulnerable to rejection, criticism, failing. His novel, I’m sure you know it, “The Catcher in the Rye” was rejected 15 times. One editor tossed it aside as juvenile. Perhaps you remember the book’s last lines: “Don’t ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you’ll start missing everybody.” Sure Holden Caulfield put up a tough front but the character created by Salinger is endearing and enduring even to this day – in large part because of his vulnerability. So if we want joy, love, and empathy in our lives, we need to let vulnerability into our hea...

    A human being is a complicated entity of a contradictory nature where creative and destructive, virtuous and vicious are interwoven. Each of us has gone through various kinds of struggle at least once in a lifetime ranging from everyday discrepancies to worldwide catastrophes. There are always different causes and reasons that trigger these struggles, however, there is common ground for them as well: people are different, even though it is a truism no one seems to able to realize this statement from beyond the bounds of one’s self and reach out to approach the Other.

    Our enemy was the Japanese, but when the war ended, it also had another story to it, and it was Louie, a survivor of the American army, and a survivor from a prisoner of war camp. Louie’s life was that he was an athlete in his childhood, and the one who made Louie into an athlete was Pete, his big brother in the family, which his brother was the one that encouraged Louie the most. When Louie was older, he joined the army, and when he joined, he was still running and practiced like an athlete. When Louie was growing up, he kept on changing his personalities, and was growing new traits as he learned from others, and had joy with loved ones too. In the book Unbroken, the author Laura Hillenbrand described Louie as

  • Analysis Of Everybody Has A Heartache By Joy Harjo

    1306 Words  | 3 Pages

    In life all humanity faces a struggle or heartbreak that seems almost impossible to make it through. In the poem Everybody Has a Heartache the author Joy Harjo discusses and introduces the opinion that everyone faces a heartache or blues. The author goes into detail about the different kinds of heartbreak that goes on in a variety of peoples’ everyday life. This poem was very interesting to me because the author chose very diverse and out of the normal heartbreaks for her characters to face rather than the normal heartbreaks that everyone can see. The author used several literary devices to establish an emotional connection with the readers.

    “Heartbreak opens onto the sunrise for even breaking is opening and I am broken, I am open. Broken into the new life without pushing in, open to the possibilities within, pushing out. See the love shine in through my cracks? See the light shine out through me? I am broken, I am open, I am broken open. See the love light shining through me, shining through my cracks, through the gaps. My spirit takes journey, my spirit takes flight, could not have risen otherwise and I am not running, I am choosing. Running is not a choice from the breaking. Breaking is freeing, broken is freedom. I am not broken, I am

  • Taylor Swift Homelessness

    899 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Frere-Jones’ article, “PRODIGY,” about Swift, it is easy to notice that she is a very talented song writer even though she is only eighteen years old. Although the majority of Swift’s songs are appealing to teenagers, some can appeal to older, more mature people. The thing that is so striking about Swift’s lyrics is that they can apply to almost anyone. This could be helpful in my final paper because it shows that “Fearless” has the potential to influence all different kinds of people. Ken Tucker’s article allows people to realize that the majority of people have been through a breakup or heartbreak. This explains why it is easy for many people to relate to her song, “White Horse” which talks about her boyfriend not loving her back. Tucker’s article could be useful because it shows how people are able to relate to Swift in order to get over a break up. Another difference between Swift and other artists is that she is able to openly sing about her personal

    For Fucks Sake may seem like a harsh title for a book. And maybe you were a little embarrassed to even buy it, or maybe you were a little intrigued because, dammit, the title spoke to you. For whatever reason, I am sure glad that you bought my book. Now, this book is not meant to be rude or crude, it is meant more of a "this must be a joke!" or "are you kidding me?" when it comes to parenting. But even those thoughts don't have the same effect that For Fucks Sake has. Believe me, I don't go around my house in front of my kids saying, oh, for fucks sake, clean up your clothes; for fucks sake, I ran out of milk; oh for fucks sake, this bill is due. Sounds funny, doesn't it? Well,

  • What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger

    Borrowing from Friedrich Nietzsche's statement, "That which does not kill us makes us stronger," Kelly Clarkson unleashes an up-tempo empowerment anthem for recovering from bad relationships. Everyone endures a bad breakup at some point in their life, and a pick me up song like "Stronger," written by Jorgen Elofsson, David Gamson, and Ali Tamposi helps listeners pick up the pieces of a broken heart and move on to bigger and better things. Breakups can be extremely difficult, and they can be amicable; no matter what, no one really wants to go through them. The loss of a relationship can bring on intense heartache and stress. After being down for some time, it takes trying to look for the positives of the loneliness, instead of sadness and grief. When the positives are found, the feelings of happiness will overcome.

  • Love is Not the Reason For Life

    Crack. Such is the sound of a breaking heart. Oh how fragile the heart is, and yet how courageous; ever ready to face its destruction. Tears flow as the heart cries out in agony, as inconceivable pain tortures the soul, as sorrow clouds the mind, and as disappointment weakens the body. Only a few are wise enough to save themselves from the futility of love. But it is not because they are less courageous than others, they are only more practical. If they feel they are not ready, they will not hasten to experience this feeling. They see life as full of love, but not love as the reason for life.
