How My 2-Year Relationship Ended

Some say losing someone you have a deep love for is equivalent to having the human heart physically removed from the body without anesthesia. It is extremely difficult to put the exact feeling into words because there are too many words that do not even begin to grasp it; agonizing, calamitous, distressing, poignant cannot even come close to explain it. However, Howard Nemerov attempted the trying task and created the poem “The Vacuum” in 1955. This poem explained death in a way that all of us endeavor to. The mood, figurative speech, and setting of the poem argues that death is not only hard for the person dying, but that it is harder for those who are left behind.

My first art portfolio, my favorite keychain, my broken bike…1.2.3. No one ever speaks to you about your own ending. How you die is left up to your own imagination. To you, your death can maybe either be due to a glorious, heroic act in which you met a righteous end or a pathetic closing to what you may believe to be a pretty uneventful existence. No one speaks about endings in general, though. Endings only tend to make us feel anything but content. Yet we dream on, foolishly writing silly ends to our lives, forgetting that the ends we create may be plausible one day. College, family, career…1.2.3. My breaths get weary, my heart slows from boisterous thuds to faint, lethargic thumps. Bright rays gleam above, showering me in what is meant to be warmth, but all I feel is cold. My freezing limbs waft slowly within the water, my feet dangling below, my hair flowing behind. My mother’s laughter, my father’s tears of joy, my friends’ bright smiles…1.2.3. I never dreamt my foolish imagination would collide with the inevitable so soon. My days of compiling were over, my good days, my sad days, my sweet, sweet mundane days, would soon come to an end…Air, air, air, air,

The play, Romeo and Juliet has many deaths, which are usually suicides because they have lost someone they love. The novel, The Chrysalids by John Wyndham also has people risking their lives or even suicide because they will or are not able to live without the person they love. However, the short story, “No Renewal” shows that Douglas doesn’t appreciate his new lifestyle because he already made his old lifestyle part of his identity. All these texts suggest that when one loses someone or something that is part of one’s identity, one may willingly welcome death.

Throughout my lifetime, there have been moments of laughter as well as grief. The first time I felt what it was truly like to lose the love of my life I ended up heartbroken and devastated. From that moment on my perception of love changed completely. The song by Christian Nodal- “Adios Amor” showed me how at times when the love fades between partners to the point where there is no love at all, you have to do your best to move on rather than spending time grieving the love that is lost. Therefore, the song “Adios Amor” taught me that some relationships are best to let go of if they don’t work as a young adult, and will continue to guide me throughout my life.

Relationships with a significant other can turn into something that is life-long, or can turn into something brief and can lead to a lot of hurt feelings. Breakups are already hard to go through and sometimes people do not know how to deal with it. There are certain factors that can go into a relationship that are indicators of the failure of the relationship. Past relationships can also be an indicator on whether or not the post relationship dissolution will be positive or negative. Stress is another factor that can make getting over relationships much harder, this is seen especially in young adults. Coping mechanisms to learn can lead to a faster recovery of a person’s mental state and allow someone to become more positive and make new romantic relationships.

Love is what makes us creative, or it can also nail us to pain. If we pay attention we will see that Failed Romance can show our blind spot, our well-hidden trauma. Right there, instead of getting into a new Romantic commitment, we should stop and think what made the relationship collapsed?

“If you love something, let it go” -Unknown. In life, relationships have both good and bad characteristics. Not everything is always sunshine and roses. Multiple examples of sacrifice can be found in a book or poem.

Facing death at any age is difficult, but for Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and John Sullivan, it came early, resulting in two essays retelling their experience.  In their accounts of these situations, the author can see they both want to emphasise that death can come in very unexpected situations.  To My One Love, by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, begins on page 17 of 50 Essays by Samuel Cohen.  In her essay, set in present day, she has flashbacks to her relationship with a boy “from the wrong side of town” named Nnamdi.  They were in a loving relationship against their peers’ wishes.  When it came time for them to separate due to education in separate locations, they had ended the relationship, but not before Nnamdi had promised that them

The moment of when defeat is finally accepted isn’t always easy, but if defeat includes death the pain of accepting it is unbearable. Chris McCandless gambled his whole life and unfortunately lost. He thought he discovered something magical, something that finally allows him to experience the true emotions his body can produce. He did accomplish this; he experienced extreme emotional satisfaction through out his journey into the wild. He discovered himself and his newfound identity and saw all the beauty that nature has to offer. But then again, the isolation that he longed for that brought him true happiness also brought him sadness and fatality at the same time. At first he was consumed with fear, but then eventually came to the acceptance

Jane Shore’s poem, This One, gives an inside look on the breakdown of a relationship. I guess what the statistics have been reign true; America has the highest divorce rate in the entire world. How appropriate. Anyways, think of our speaker as a child both main characters, This One and That One, share. Though the speaker does not have a juvenile mindset, as he is clearly quite developed in thought and words choice, that does not matter.

Breakups are hard, to say the least. It’s a similar idea to being addicted to some sort of drug and going through withdraw. Well, that would be in the most extreme of cases, anyways. Many people deal with breakups in different ways. What is generally expected would be a lot of crying and maybe some anger mixed in. Some people are calm about it, to the point of it showing no effect to them. Usually, I would see myself being the calm person, yet I find myself in my ex’s closet, looking out on an empty room in an attempt to see whatever he could be doing.

“No relationship is ever a waste of your time. If it didn’t bring you what you want, it taught you what you don’t want”. Primarily, the individuals in our life shape and mould our personality to construct who we are known as in the most challenging situations of our existence. These situations symbolise moments of sincerity and in some instances, demonstrate hatred and regret. This essay will highlight why relationships mould who we are, though, on the other hand, this essay will also highlight how individuality outlines social experience. Furthermore, it will also express the similarities between these two stances to illustrate ‘who we are’.

I did not intend to fall in love with Ed Kennedy. For so long I knew that I was falling, and for so long I denied it. I did not want to get hurt again. He was my best friend and that wasn’t something that I wanted to tarnish. I refused to let love get in the way. Love, with its tender arms and beautiful face, can so, so brutal. Like a sledgehammer that rushes up and down my spine, crashes into my skull and vibrates deep inside my brain. Despite my reservations and my hesitations, Ed loved me, he pitied me, and I could see that he did. There was a wash of absence over him, like nostalgia for a future in which he was already living. He was there for me when concrete filled my soul, and held my hand when I could no longer tread the quicksand.

It 's apparent that not every relationship stands the test of time. In hindsight, it is much easier to see why the relationship needed to end, but during the heat of the moment, emotions make it almost impossible to get out of it, even if you are not happy.
