It’s amazing how when you love something or someone you know automatically. You see it for the first time and your heart feels full. When you truly fall in love with something you feel the urge to do anything to be with it all the time. When most people talk about love, they talk about a person, I talk about my city, Washington D.C. When I first visited D.C. I was a freshman in highschool and I instantly fell in love with the city. Something about it drew to me, from growing up in a small town to this big glamorous city that drew you in with it’s glory and significance like a moth drawn to a light. The minute I graduated high school I was moving there and living my life there with or without anyone’s support.

I ran around the track

The nurse told me, “Honey, we are twenty minutes away from the hospital, you’re parents and coach will meet us there just try to relax.” We passed by a bus identical to the one I traveled in when I first went to D.C. This reminded me of the first time I met Adley, and my mind drifted back to that time so long ago.
“Hey my name’s Adley what’s yours?” asked the guy in the seat across the aisle from me.
“My name is Bailey”
“That’s a really pretty name, what county are you from?”
“Me and my best friend Tia, who is asleep in the seat next to me are from Henry County. What about you, where are you from?”
“I’m from William’s County and so is the guy in the seat behind me. Before I say anything else though I have a really great smile, when I got on the bus I was having a really rough day and your smile lifted my spirits.”
That was first memory of my D.C. trip, I was on the bus, the guy talking to me was named Adley, turned out to be the love of my life, although at the time I didn’t know that. On the trip I made many other close friends, who to this day I still communicate with, especially my six other best friends from Ohio. The seven of us did everything together from squad photos,going to each others prom and homecoming to driving four and half hours to a place we could all meet up. It wasn’t until this moment I realized Laynee was in the ambulance with me. “Bailey, I called all of the D.C. group and they are all driving to
"If you don't mind me asking, where are you from? I know that you aren't from around this area with an accent like that."
“Yes that’s the one. He’s known us since we were tadpoles and he tells us about his adventures in the river.”
We meet up with some of our neighbors inside, then I thought to myself, this isn't going to be as bad as I expected. As I looked around I saw three bright blonds and realized that it was Kelly Righter and her siblings who lived up the street. Once we signed in we traveled down a few hallways. The people that worked at the veterans hospital said we have to split into two groups. Our family stayed together and we were with the righters. We
“The reason I am here is because of my good friend Jimmy wells.He is a patrol officer around here. Have you ever heard of him?” asked Bob
It’s 5:30 in the morning, my alarm is ringing. I get up quickly, my hearts racing. I think to myself, “Today is the day I’m leaving for Fresno, for WBA Championships (Western Band Association).” I eat breakfast, pack my things and say goodbye to my family. I arrive at Logan to meet up with the rest of the band. Walking into the band room was like walking into a cemetery, everyone looks dead. We all load our luggages and suitcases on the bus, we are all seated now and roll is taken to make sure everyone is here. The bus driver, who to me was one of the most hilarious people I have met, began the turn on the engine and I feel the bus rumble as the engine started. My eyes felt heavy, so I close my eyes to begin to sleep and this is the beginning of my exhilarating and hilarious 2-day journey.
“In order to get to know everyone, I’d like you all to go around the circle and say your name and an interesting fact that no one knows about you.”
It was kind of awkward, but the view was great. We could see bald eagles in the trees, and there was still a little bit of fog left from the morning.
My heart was racing, there were butterflies in my stomach so many unanswered questions in my head. Would I like my buddy? Would they be nice? As we walked into the room where our future buddies awaited us. I looked around at all of the smiling faces which made me feel more relaxed. But which one was Laurie Leener? I asked around and someone pointed at a beautiful lady sitting on a walker. Ja’lece, Grace and I introduced ourselves and the once in a lifetime experience begun.
I didn’t know these people. I had at most, only spoken to these kids occasionally before we were stuffed into a hot white van for 10 hours. My palms became sweaty and I couldn’t bring myself to speak as the familiar scenery of Brookfield rolled into miles of empty farmers fields, gas stations and tourist traps. Everyone crammed in this van seemed to know each other so well, their endless talking blurred into a lul.
“Hello, My name is Reese Smith. It’s good to finally to meet you.” I said.
“ This is Cunningham Jr. I presume”. I nodded with a smile, afraid to let off that I had zero clue what that word meant. He turned his back on me 'n lead the way.
“I know a spot on the road from Huddersfield close to where he stops for a drink just out of town before he heads home.”
Love is also defined in the dictionary as "strong affection," "warm attachment," and "unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for others" (439). All of these definitions are completely correct, but the dictionary does not explain how it feels to love someone. The reason that an explanation for this feeling is not found in the dictionary may be because love is so different for each individual person. In my experience, "strong affection" does not even begin to cover the sensation and emotions a person feels when he or she is in love. Love is compared to "the extraordinary sun / splashing its light / into astonished trees" in Denise Levertov's "Love Poem" (2-4). Like the sun, love is great and bright and fills a person with extreme joy. Love is greater than anything else a person could ever experience. A lover can even be better than a summer's day, as the speaker in Shakespeare's poem suggests. He compares his lover to a summer's day by saying that she is "more
Love is difficult to define, difficult to measure, and difficult to understand. Love is what great writers write about, great singers sing about, and great philosophers ponder. Love is a powerful emotion, for which there is no wrong definition, for it suits each and every person differently. Whether love is between family, friends, or lovers, it is an overwhelming emotion that can be experienced in many different ways.
Love is an abundant emotion that has different degrees. There is familial love, friendly love, unconditional love, and of course romantic love. Romantic love will be the superstar of this article. Romantic love may be around every corner whether between an old couple or a young teenage romance. However, love is not the easiest thing to attain. It is such a simple concept, though a difficult thing to actually have a person’s hands on.
