Almost every little girl grew up on the fantasy stories of true love that lasts forever. I don’t know about true love, but I thought I had finally found the guy who could make me feel complete for a little while. I can still remember how I felt the first time I met him. I thought I had been dreaming, that the man in front of me wasn’t a real person. I thought it would never happen though, because of the absoulute fool I made out of myself the first time we met. As luck would have it though, before I even knew his name, one of his friends was trying to set us up. It was a shock for a girl like me that had never exactly been anyone’s first choice for a prospective girlfriend. The next month was probably the best month I had had in many years as I spent it talking with and spending time with this man that seemed far to perfect. He seemed to be the one I could share anything with, and he cared for me as he would try to cheer me up when he heard that I had been sick and injured. I couldn’t have asked for a better person in my life at that moment. At the end of the month he pulled me aside and asked if I would date him, and that’s when what I then thought would be a fantastic relationship started. Unfortunately, fate has a nastly habit of ripping happiness from unsuspecting victims. Not a week or so latter, every thing that could possibly have gone wrong in a relationship stated happening. At first it was just my discovering his old drinking problem that might not have been such ancient history, but that one issue planted doubt in my mind as I started to doubt if he was really as perfect as I thought. The next month was still a great month for our relationship, besides the problems that were arising and the doubt starting to form in my mind. In this time we even shared our first kiss, one of those foot popping moments that happen in movies that usually shows that everything in the relationship will work out. I now had some hope, but there was still doubt. In fairly tales, there is always some evil creature that is trying to sabotage the relationship between the two lovers, and there is an adventure that they both overcome and live happily ever after.
The man was honest, attentive, and expressive with me. I did not trust him and spent most of our initial interactions pushing him away. I was suspicious of him so I put him through random tests where I would try to catch him being deceptive or manipulative. When I failed to prove his dishonesty, I began to ask him to do things for me, even when it was unnecessary, to gauge his level of consideration and feelings for me. Occasionally, I would purposely degrade or disrespect him to see if he could handle the worst of my tempestuous nature. When he passed my assessments, I finally began to open up to
In all honesty I wanted to go clear my mind, but I also wanted to stay home so I could cry and curl up in a corner. Hassan told me to go fix a bag and meet him down stairs I did as I was told even though I didn't have to. Once I got downstairs I saw Hassan talking to my parents. He was trying to convince them to let me go, and they agreed to let me go as long as I called. After they agreed to let me go listen told me that we were going to his house to see if his parents were cool with it. The one thing that he left out was that he wanted me to lie to his parents. I didn't want to, but I owed him after this whole trip thing. I had a long conversation with his parents and they decided to let him go. I'm not going to lie I wasn't thrilled but how bad could it be. In my mind everything that could go wrong was already being visioned which worried me more. Anyway before his parents could change their mind he grabbed my shirt and drug me across his house outside to the car. Later that evening we had been on the road and I had a flashback. I was in the third grade and I finally got this pretty girl named Katherine. I “loved" her and she felt the same in return, but like they say “All good things come to an end”. I was devastated my heart had a hole, but you get over it eventually I
Happiness is fake, like something forced upon me; something not real, fabricated and I don’t like it. I’m supposed to like it though. I’m supposed to like everything the government forces on me. I feel like I’m the only person who doesn’t feel content with my life, everyone else seems to be perfect while I’m falling apart at the seams.
On Thursday May 10, 2018 at approximately 08:15 a.m. I met with Port Richey Police Chief Decanio. Chief Decanio advised me; prior to my arrival he received a phone call from Vincent Lupo who is the city manager of Port Richey. Chief Decanio advised me Mr. Lupo stated that he received a phone call from the Mayor of Port Richey, Dale Massad stating he had three fire arms stolen from his property within the last two weeks. I was then dispatched to 8221 Hayward Lane, Port Richey Florida in reference to 3 missing firearms.
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.
It has been around 14 hours since I have gotten back from the Freshmen Retreat, and I happy to be able to write about the success of the trip in all parts, regarding my personal goal, what I learned about my fellow advisory peers, and realizing a bit more about myself.
My boyfriend and I were so happy; we were such a “perfect couple.” He was truly a great guy, and I ,a well rounded character. I thought I knew him but fate would prove me wrong. He once told me that we would make it through anything, but I knew this was different he had dreams, and so much potential, this would surely detour him from his goals in life. My partner knew as well as I did that me getting pregnant was an accident but in the end he did not hesitate walking out on me, and there my chaos began.
I think the best thing you can receive from something as scary as it may seem, is lessons, and I’ve learned a few. Heart-eyes can come in different forms with different relationships, the worst of all, is the future is ours Heart-eyes. Someone who without a doubt loves you and plans on spending the rest of their lives with you, within the first week of the relationship. Now I use Heart-eyes as a pet-name for Codependency. If you don’t understand what Codependency is it’s the physical/mental need for something, you’re depending on someone for your own happiness. That isn’t a relationship, I mean sure you go into to get something you’re not getting out of everyday life but, that isn’t healthy, and I found that out the hard way. Don’t depend on someone else for your own happiness, to have a successful relationship you
Well, here you are. The unimaginable, unthinkable, and devastating has happened, and the relationship that you were certain was going to be the stuff of fairy tales has exploded into tiny fragments and is now over.
The book I read for the November book report was Fairy Tale Matchmaker, by E.D. Baker. I think this is a fantasy type book, because there are fairies and mythical creatures. This is a 368 page book. According to a review on Amazon, it says this “takes you through funny, yet sweet ride through the book.” I would say this is a 5th grade level book because the vocabulary was easier than the other books l have been reading.
...e,” because he didn’t want my senior year to revolve around someone I can barely see. His detachment reached the point of no response, and he ceased communication all together, saying “It was needed for us to move on until college.” To this day I still love him, and I know he still loves me. He wants the best for me, and although it is painful because I cannot hear his voice, it’s truly what I need. “I will be there at the airport the day you arrive at your future college, I love you forever and always.” These were the last words that I heard from him, harsh, yet caring. To this day I still love him, and try to move on, but no one seems to even come close to this amazing person. “Love at first sight” I once believed as a fools quote, but today I see it as the most amazing thing in the world, something that is achieved by pure chance and luck, only experienced by few.
I had two boyfriends in high-school, and I was sort of pushed into both relationships by my friends. Even though I liked both individuals, I had highly considering dating neither. In the first instance, I liked a guy and my friends told us we should date because I had never had a boyfriend. I agreed because I realized it might seem weird that I was 15 and had never had a boyfriend before. He was very kind and smart, but very “two faced”, and ended up cheating on me and being pretty emotionally abusive. The second guy was very intelligent and had an interesting sense of humor, but also ended up being incredibly emotionally abusive. Both were poor ideas on my part and very psychologically scaring, especially considering in both relationships I was struggling with my eating disorder, depression, and anxiety. When I came to college I met Sam, my current boyfriend, and we intend to get married when we graduate. Sam has had to help me deal with a lot of harmful thought processes that developed from those relationships, even though I had worked through many of them before coming to
Fairytale is one of the intricate genres in literary history. It is impossible to say exactly when the first fairytale was created. They have been in practice since the beginning of time. The famous scholar Jack Zipes agreed that evolution of fairytales could not be determined. In his book The Irresistible Fairytales, he says: “It is impossible to trace the historical origins and evolution of fairytales to a particular time and place; we do know that humans began telling tales as soon as they developed the capacity of speech. They may have even used sign language before speech originated to communicate vital information for adapting to their environment”
Do you believe in happy endings? Once in a person’s lifetime, everyone finds this one perfect person whom they fall hopelessly in love with and live happily ever after. That is a mere fallacy, in the real world, this simply does not happen. Yes, people do have common interests and therefore develop romantic involvement, but it is basic common sense that these relationships have a life span and simply cannot last. There are certain people who aren’t meant to fit into your life in the long-term no matter how much you want them to. Sometimes people come into your life to shake you up, tear apart your ego, flip your perspective, show your obstacles, break your heart and mind open. The cause of a breakup can be due to various reasons such as cheating, falling out of love, quarrelling or the lack of communication.
As a teenager, you are always told that you are either “Too old for this” or “Too young for that.” It always seemed to me that my parents wanted me to grow up and be independent, but they also wanted me to be their baby forever. The problem is, sorry parents, you can’t be a kid and an adult at the same time. Shocker, I know, but it is the honest truth.
