Love Happens Love happens when you least expect it. It can happen on the street corner, at the bar, at the grocery store, the park. That’s one of the greatest things about love. As for me I found love in the pouring down rain in the middle of the street. I fell in love with a man who I never thought in a million years I’d fall for. A man who is loving, caring and respectful. The night I laid my eyes on him I knew he was it. He came into my life at a point when I was unraveling and losing control. I was lost for two years after my high school sweetheart and I broke up, I thought I was never going to find real love, but I did. He saved me and I remember every minute from that night. One Friday night my friend had notice that I had been spending …show more content…
We clicked instantly and just loved each other’s company. We would text and call each other all day and we would meet up after work and fall asleep at his house. With him I have never felt more safe. My last relationship was awful and I never thought that I was going to let my guard down to another man again. Everything with Mikey was different, I felt an undeniable connection I never felt before. I was used to dating dirt bags. Guys that only wanted me for one thing and one thing only. I had never felt loved before him. I was used, lied to and cheated on by every guy before him. I was one of those people who believed that love didn’t exist. I thought that is was never going to happen for me, I was wrong. Before I met him I was in a dark place. I was drinking every day, not going to work, I even dropped out of college. My doctor diagnosed me with manic depression and sever anxiety. I was even seeing a therapist. After only a few months of meeting Mikey, my friends, family and doctors all notice that I seemed to be getting out of the “funk” I was in. I started going back to work consistently and I quit drinking. He made me want to be a better person. He made me laugh louder than anyone else could. He had something about him that brought out the good in me. I thank god every day for
I met him at the Hawthorne high-school’s orientation. October 3, 2012, was the official date and months of being with him, for the first time ever he made me feel something I’ve never felt before. He was the first guy I ever came to love. I can go on about this, but I’m not going into detail about what happened those years. Let’s just wrap up that story to the simple truth, he left me. I had invested all my time and attention towards him, that I began to care less about school. I was never expecting it, or maybe I was. It hurt. Looking at him hurt. I remember coming home and crying my heart out. I was devastated. It was something I’ve never wanted to experience. I sobbed and sobbed that night, and gripped onto my pillow and shouted into them, hiding the cries. I felt empty when I awoke the next day. My eyes were swollen, and I felt an empty void. I felt dead. We didn’t speak to each other after that. Months passed, and I was keeping myself occupied with work and friends, I finally was learning how to move on, on my own. I finally came to find my happiness through realization. They say somethings happen for a reason. It’s either a
Oates’ novella is a love story between Officer Dromoor and the Maguire women, both Teena and Bethel. It is a tale that morphs a love for justice into one that represents a love for feeling supported. The Maguires are scorned by the people of Niagara Falls. Teena, even more so after the gang rape, is perceived as the town ‘whore,’ drug addict, and a bad parent. John Dromoor’s mere presence on the family creates a mutual respect, or love, amidst such difficult circumstances. Years after the events at the Rocky Point Park occurred and Dromoor is no longer in the Maguires’ lives, the story ends with Bethel’s husband telling her that she “looked so lonely, suddenly” (Oates 154) after

But the one excuse that sounded genuine was “You don’t want me, I’m too complicated”. That day was one defining moment in my life, yes, I went into a period of darkness and rejection but also it began a new period in my life of courage and truth, I had stepped way out of my comfort zone and risked it all for love, I knew that to ever have an honest relationship with Tyler I had to put it out there, so I would never wonder “What if?” The next six months or so were rocky at best for us, we remained friends in the very slightest sense of the word and we still saw the love that was in me.
In Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the characters Hermia and Lysander are faces with a difficult situation when they want to be married and are forbidden to by Hermia’s father, who instead wishes her to be married to another young man, Demetrius. Hermia and Lysander forced to plead her case to both her father and the duke of Athens, Theseus. But Theseus’ only words to Hermia are those that tell her she should be obedient to her father. Her pleas are essentially ignored. While it is unfortunate that her thoughts should not be given a second thought,
It seems that my soul mate was transient rather than permanent, now less of a soul mate and more of a soul reminder, with me temporarily to show me what I never knew existed and reminding me of things like drawing, painting and writing; the things I had forgotten I love. I suppose not all of us are meant to be with our soul mate, sometimes being in love simply isn't enough. He was the not so gentle nudge that in the end left me breathless and a little less alive but hopeful.
Individuals involved in romantic relationships often send messages to one another with the intent to convey honest information about their romantic partner. Literature on this topic has already been published, but researcher Shuangyue Zhang found gaps and unanswered questions in this previously conducted research that he wanted to resolve. In 2009, Zhang began researching the hurtful, but honest messages that are sent and received in romantic relationships with two overlapping goals in mind. He wanted to uncover the “motivations and relational consequences of honest, but hurtful evaluated messages,” while simultaneously investigating “the relational satisfaction, sex of the respondent and message types” (Zhang, 2009). With his purpose in place, Zhang developed a hypothesis for his research that stated, “Recipients will interpret honest, but hurtful messages more negatively than will senders” (Zhang 2009). The subjects of Zhang’s study, 515 undergraduate students (32.4% male and 77.6% female) from Midwestern University, were given one of two different questionnaires, “one sender questionnaire and one receiver questionnaire,” and asked to “reconstruct a conversation” that they took part in that involved an honest, but hurtful evaluative message (Zhang, 2009). Participants were then given a scale and asked to rate the hurtfulness, emotional pain and alleged honesty of the message that they recoded (Zhang, 2009). At the conclusion of the study, Zhang measured and assessed the honesty motives, perceived intent and relational ramifications of the messages (Zhang, 2009). The study effectively conducted by Shuangyue Zhang in 2009 not only yielded findings in support of the hypothesis, but also revealed other findings. These other findings...
Love is a weird feeling. It’s been said that love has nothing to do with your heart, it 's all chemical reactions inside of your brain. Infatuation, attraction, crush is such powerful feelings that people do think that they are in love. Also, it is blind to the other person’s weaknesses and exaggerates his or her strengths. Similarly, infatuation often fades within a short time. However, true love is so real and so strong, strong enough that if it came down to it you would even die for your partner. Love as much more than a feeling. It is based on a well-rounded knowledge of a person’s strengths and weaknesses. Not so in the case of China and Jeremy, in T. Coraghessan Boyle “The Love of my Life.” Before we talk about them
Many people have different perspectives when it comes to the topic of love. The word love has been tossed around by everybody and not very many people really understand the true meaning of love. There are some exceptions, but I think this is especially true for teenagers and young adults. I might be one of those people who do not fully understand the topic of love, but I hope to better understand the topic of love and its true meaning is this course.
Love can make you do anything and sacrifice for what will be better in the end. Love is intense and passionate. Everything seems brighter, happier, more wonderful, and just all around better when you’re in love. If you find love, cherish it and don’t let it go. Love frees us all from all the weight and pain of
When my husband and I exchanged our declarations towards each other; I was under the illusion that he was a man of substance. Every woman wants to assure themselves in marrying a man who will protect, honor and provide for his family. I find it amusing when I reminisce about the first time my husband (Fernandez) and I traversed paths. We probably did not do no more than glance at one another, but we were both desiring love. We grew up in the same church, raised with the same beliefs with the goal of finding and marrying someone within our church.
We all fall in love at some point in our lives whether it be a passion, faith, or another person. Falling in love is a natural human behavior. It ensures the continuance of the human race through reproduction. Love is often considered a mystery because of its unexplainable feelings. It is the personal and affectionate relationship between two people. Researchers have discovered the biological reasons behind falling in love. The brain controls the signals that release chemicals and hormones in your body to give that rush that love brings.
As a child, I spent a great deal of time at the beach, imitating the seagulls as they darted back and forth along the sand, trying to dodge the incoming water. With each passing summer, I spent less time imitating the birds and more time enticed by the force and power of the ocean. I was hypnotized by the waves as they broke along the shore, settled in a foamy-form, and rolled back out to sea. It was not long before I found pleasure in running into the water and allowing the waves to crash over me, pummeling me to the floor. Often times, I would come up gasping for air, causing my mother to have minor heart attacks while she observed from the shore. Adrenaline filled me each time I was knocked over. There was something invigorating about not
What is love? Love is a very special and meaningful word to each human being. Each human being has his/her own thoughts about love to guide himself/herself to land safely and smoothly into the kingdom of Love. Without this preconceived idea of love, people would be acting like a blind person searching for the light with thousand of obstacles in front of him.
“Love is universally accepted by many people and the concept of love within the English language refers to a variety of different approaches, states and attitudes, ranging from pleasure to interpersonal attraction.” (Kendrick 123) My characterization of love encourages the intimate emotion I partake for my family. The distinct connection that we fashioned and the invaluable moments that we consolidated. In the perceptive of a mother, my children are my supremacy and the greatest blessing of my lifecycle. They’re my inspiration and motivation to continue progressing and becoming the best at what I do. With that in mind, Love relics your outlooks and approaches the linkage they become associated with. Consequently, this condition can fluctuate over a period of a specific time. Additionally, depending on your situation, your perspective on love can be an altering affect, creating a stable or inconsistent assessment. Furthermore, causing your love to intensify, decline, or even cease. Love in its essence, stands justly powerful and the beauty of it advances,
