This isn’t an ordinary romantic story. This is a little different. It all started when my family moved to a small town called Mystic Fall. There we lived in a nice house with a big backyard. I loved it, the house was so simple and had a big porch for all of us to enjoy the nature. Life was amazing until college started and I had to back to college. Although it still wasn’t that bad, since I lived near I always drove home when my classes finished. The town folks were welcoming, they walked around with big smiles and waved at us when we passed by. This town wasn’t like any other place I’ve been to, their towns would be filled with gangs and murders and rape. But this town was clean. I didn’t see any violence here at all, although right in the middle of the town there was a huge fortified mansion with a lot of people in suits and a lot of people were armed. This mansion was magnificent, it was painted white with balconies and had a colorful yard with a big black gate. …show more content…
As days went by I started getting more involved in college.
I saw this beautiful girl in art class, it was kind of ironic since she was an art piece making another art. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. She was a brunette with high cheekbones and gorgeous face. She had a lean body and sparkling eyes. Her smile made the world smile. My words don’t do any justice to my angel. After seeing her, I followed her around for days. Just when you think she couldn't get any better she blows my mind. She is absolutely the most caring and kind person I’ve ever seen. She loves the simplest things, loves nature and especially animals. I couldn’t help it anymore, so I wrote her a letter expressing my feelings and without knowing I wrote it as a poem. I thought there was no way she would accept my love but it turned out she wanted to get to know me as well. I happy that day, I jumped around and screamed
out. On our first date, she was at the local grill. It was perfect, they had great drinks and food and it also came with a massive pool table. Can you imagine, this but this is where I got to her name for the first time. Her name was Octavia and right then I started to feel a lot of different emotions when haring her name. Octavia already did some research on me, whereas I didn’t believe anyone who told me about her and only believed what I saw of her. We spent the night playing pool and talking about ourselves and getting to know one another. We spent almost 5 hours together but didn’t talk about our family. After that date, we met up quite often, and soon we didn’t even tell each other about dates because we both assumed it as a daily thing now. We spent 4 years of our college having fun and enjoying one another and didn’t even fight once. If it seemed like there would be a fight one of would back down to resolve and mainly focused on our love. After college, I decided I wanted to propose to her and that’s where the problem came. After our usual date at the local grill, I proposed with a ring to but I got the unexpected answer from her. She said no! my heart dropped and if she still wasn’t beside me I would’ve cried that day and probably did something worse. But I asked why what happened was it too early and she replied with a no. she waited a minute and then said she can’t accept my proposal until her father approves. So, then I asked if I ask your father for his permission and he agrees, then what would your answer be. She then said yes but that’s very hard. That’s when I regained my conscience and picked myself up. The next day I went I decided I’m going to go find her father and get his permission. So, Octavia came by and gave me ride to her house. What I was shocked to see was she arrived at the huge house in the middle of towns with many armed men. S I turned around and asked what does your da do again, and she replied with a smile he the godfather to the gang in this town. My stomach started to squeeze and started to make noises. So, I asked he’s the gang leader and she said yes. I stood in front of the big black gate and gazed upon the huge house and was terrified. I thought it would be better just to turn around and run away and right as I turned I saw Octavia. She was just standing there hoping I would go in, after seeing her I didn’t care what would happen to me after I cross these gates. So, I slowly walked in and looking around, but this was Octavia’s house so she walked comfortably holding my hand and taking me to the direction to my death. While walking all I can imagine I am asking Octavia’s father for his daughter’s hand in marriage and imaging what he would do. But the only reason I continued was because of Octavia’s hand, her hand gave me a little warmth like happiness or peace. Octavia opened the door and I can see her father waiting for both of us. Walked inside and then she ran to give her father a hug and they both talked and turned to my side. I stood and couldn’t move a bit. My heart was pounding and my body was shaking but I glanced at Octavia and somehow, I felt a lot better. I looked at her dad with confidence and I said ‘Sir, your daughter and we have been dating for 4 years now and now we want to get married with your permission, so may I ask for your daughter’s hand in marriage?” He stood up and replied, “I’m very glad you came to ask me, many people have dated my daughter but would run when they see me” as he walked closer to me and put his hands on my shoulder he said” you’re the first to ask me, I like your confidence”. Then he explained, “I already know about your love and already asked your family and they seem very nice as well, so I give you my permission to get married to my daughter.” Right realized, wow how easy was that, all I needed was confidence in myself and you can achieve anything you want. So now after hearing this story what do you think of this story kids, isn’t your old man great?
I had mixed feelings one time when my friend, Gracie’s, twin sister was depressed. Her name is Meghan and she is 15 years old. She was depressed because her mom, Cathy, and her step dad had just split up. Meghan and her step dad were really close, so their breakup was not that easy for her. She had attempted suicide a few times for this reason. I should have said something that could have prevented her from trying to attempt suicide again. I learned that a friend is worth more than a secret.
There I am lying, I am awoken by a bright shimmering, yet quite bothering light, I slide to my right to find my angelic husband Demetrious, he was breathing softly and faintly, I wrap my arm around him onto his buff body, and his eyes stare at me gracefully, I come to acceptance and find myself thinking how this happened, from hopeless back then, to happiest I could be, and all because of one man, he made me feel gloomy like when we first met, his eyes would affectionately stare deep into your eyes. His bright personality brightened up my day, that one special day, the most beautiful day of day, it was a sunny, warm yet quite balanced day, everything was going normally, then carelessly out the corner he came, Demetrious, and one problem was that he liked my hearty, hysterical good friend Hermia. Hermia had a generous and gentle personality, she had beautiful eyes and I was very fondly jealous of her, she got all the cute, boys that I always admired, yet one day things unexpectedly turned the other way around.
Do you remember the first time we met? I do as I cannot shake the memory. It was love at first sight. I’ll never forget the feeling I had. A warmth overcame my body as you stoked a fire in my heart. It was like I had spent my life drowning in the sea around me and you were that breath of fresh air as I pulled myself out. My cares and concerns melted away. I was complete. You were exactly what I had been missing in my life. My better half you completed me you made me whole. Your touch, your scent, your glistening radiance I took it all in. I felt its force enter my body working its way to the very center of my soul. It felt like a real living breathing thing coalescing within my life force touching parts of me I never knew existed. You awakened some innate primal desire and I needed you at all times.
When you got sick and the doctors told me I should hold you back you taught me it was more important to feel and grow like any other child than to have me hide you under my wing. It was more important to live. And that you did. You danced so beautifully, for years. And then your greatest joy, cheerleading. You made me so proud. You have always been my greatest pride and joy. I'm not sure how I can live this life without you. Remember when you would cry and tell me you were so afraid because you didn't want me to die before you. And I would tell you I wasn't going to die. And remember me saying you couldn't die before me, so we agreed, we had to go at the same time because neither of us could live without the other.
Me, Donna, my daughter, Gina, and her friend, Jenny got stranded in the middle of one of the most dangerous places in the world. There was nothing even remotely green, the place was a desert, and it had an area of 3 million acres. We were going to drive to a landmark but we must have taken a wrong turn once we hit the mountains, I tried the GPS but that got us more lost. Then our supplies including gas ran out and we have been walking ever since.
I stood there in amazement. A tingle surged throughout my whole body. It was a rush of excitement I had never felt before in my life. When my eyes hit her angelic little body, they froze and I couldn't think or acknowledge anything else around me. The world seemed to stop, hold its place in time, just for that perfect moment. While she slept I stared at this precious little angel. My hands quivered as I slowly reached down to touch her little fingers and feel the softness of her skin. I ran the tips of my fingers very gently across her smooth face, and right away, I fell in love. Then my brother said, "I can wake her up so you can hold her." I was ecstatic, I was finally going to meet her! As I held her, I stared into her gorgeous blue eyes and knew instantly that I would love and cherish her forever with all my heart.
I loved her you know. I loved her, before, before she changed. Before everything went wrong. Before she killed herself. I’m pretty sure it was my fault too. If only I had been brave enough, like she was, but I guess that’s why people humiliated her. I guess that’s why she died; because I was a coward. I wish I hadn’t of been, she wouldn’t be in a grave if I had just had the courage. I loved her too. She didn’t know it, but I tried to hint at it. I guess she thought I was leading her on or something. I tried to tell her but every time I did attempt to, she would look up at me with those big brown eyes and I would melt and nothing would come out.
I know that I start things between us a lot of the time, but even you know why. You know that it took a lot for me to trust you, but now I do. I am so happy that you are still here with me, being patient, and still by my side. So many people say that I will not make it far in life, but they do not understand me, let alone know me. So many of those people do not know how hard you push me to make something of myself. In the past, I honestly believed that I would not make it anywhere, but now I know that as long as I am happy and still alive, with you by my side I am doing great and can achieve anything.
Seven years have passed since our first encounter and in those past seven years, we have made many memories and parted ways several times. Whenever we parted ways, we were led back to each other as if there was a spark between us. Ever since you entered my life I felt as if God somehow sent one of his angels down to me. Over the last few months, I feel like my heart has grown stronger because of the love I have for you. This love gets stronger and stronger each and every day.
I am by myself wearing my blue jeans and an old flannel shirt. It is cool outside but I decided to leave my gloves at home, feeling comfortable with my warm shirt and my sturdy boots.
The journey of life follows a predetermined pattern; we evolve from needing influence and guidance to finally reaching that point where our lives are up to us. I consider myself very lucky up to this point in my journey. Some people become sidetracked and wind up on a far different course than initially planned, but the detours I made have only assisted in embellishing the individual instead of devouring it.
The most invigorating and eye opening experience happened at Mt. Bousquet, while shredding down the steep slopes it had to offer. Before we departed for the mountains we had organized all of our lunches for the day. We awakened around six o'clock in the morning and started to assemble all different sorts of sandwiches. I had a gyro with excessive amounts of beef, tomatoes, lettuce, and extremely delicious sauce, yet others had chicken sandwiches or burgers topped off with all sorts of condiments your mind could imagine. We left around seven o'clock zooming past every car we could see and pulled in at the mountains by eight o'clock. We waited for ten minutes patiently before our cousins from Long Island reached the mountains as well.
The grass was soft and green, reserved for those who wanted to lie down or sit. A sweet aroma of flowers overflowed near by like s shinning light, but was hidden by the untrimmed bushes and wildly growing trees. Up above me was the beautiful, high noon blue sky spotted with fluffy, white clouds and airplanes flying by. I emerged into the parking lot and stopped happily as a squirrel under a tree. Hesitating to proceed anywhere further I took a few minutes to treasure the moment of silence and peace. As my girlfriend and I got out of the car to get ready for the picnic, she happened to be distracted by the water; a rhythmic ongoing resemblance of rhythm in her heart. The water was clam and beautiful in every aspect. To me she was like a wave, never stooping to catch attention or go unnoticed. Before doing anything else, we began setting up the picnic. By the time we ware done, her temptation was unbearable and was finally unable to overcome it, consequently she eagerly ran towards the water pulling me right behind her. Each step was like an imprint in my heart, a fossil that would always remain the same and special inside me forever.
Teens deal with conflict on a day-to-day basis. This holds true especially for Jared. You could say Jared was your average everyday teenager. He plays the guitar in his free time and has a great number of friends. But as for girlfriends, that’s a different story.
It’s been a long time since I last wrote a letter for Douglas. He was really a special crush. My crush when I first set foot in Mindanao, from high school through early college years. For treasuring him that long, it was inevitable for a special place in my heart to be created for him. I remembered putting initials of letter “D” to some of my things just to show how much I claim him to be part of my life already. I remember how ecstatic I am every time I see him come home, we were neighbors before. And as I always say, our house were very close—only a row of plants separating both, its impossible we won’t get closer too. He was the most handsome man in my world and my exclusive crush for four years. But of course, when I went to college there were other handsome men (and they were really gorgeous) so Douglas no longer held an elite spot. It was shared but he was still the original crush and counting. That’s about another eight years. Now I am in late 20’s and the special spot hidden somewhere in my heart started crying out months ago. And for all the busyness I have, it’s only now I am able to listen well to its weeping. Its crying because it knows it has to go and give up the spot to that special place in my heart where God is tidying and preparing for what we fondly call “God’s will”. See, God made something happen that now forces me to eradicate the spot. Douglas got married last 2005 to a girl from Manila. God allowed it to happen even if He knows that Douglas would surely cry if he knew how much I have treasured him in my heart for more than a decade! I can’t help but think of “shit” when I think of how much I wasted this special spot, special place in my heart crap. I wince every time I accidentally think of the fact that he is married without even acknowledging just an hour of my decade long devotion. I can’t help but think of how much less that girl deserves Douglas because I was the one waiting and that girl was not even looking out their window to check if Douglas has come home from campus every weekend.
