Love. Friendship. Love or friendship. Why does one have to pick between one or the other? A relationship has recently ended. One full of ultimatums, broken promises, violence... emotionally and physical violence. Relationship that has, over the months, become full of lies, mistrust and toxic. It was hard to walk away from something and someone who one has gotten use, use to waking up every morning, talking to every single day, and simply their presence. How does one become so feed up to the point one has to find strength in order to leave, in order to find better and be better for themselves? A friendship was made that day, one where I was able to feel free, however with a burden on my heart. How did I know I was doing the right thing? Was

“Love is complex: considered simply in itself, it is neither honorable nor a disgrace-its character depends entirely on the behavior it gives rise to,” (Plato 183d). There are two different types of love that Pausanius refers to, which are the common and heavenly love. The common love is based on your love for someone for their body, sex or beauty making it physical love and desire for a person. Heavenly love is love for the mind such as your intelligence and strength, someone you can benefit from making one more wise. Any love that is encountered has a purpose whether is it the love between a mother and daughter or the love between a husband and wife. In the end, all love leads and is directed to virtue and improves the loved ones.

Julie, in her black stockings and new cashmere sweater dress, showed up the cafe in hopes of a great date with the mysterious Brendan. Her friend Raymond had set them up and she was excited to finally meet him. As she walked in, she immediately saw the lanky, brooding boy; he was tucked into a corner table, reading a book with a title she couldn't pronounce if she tried. Walking quickly she was almost immediately in front of him. Brendan looked up at her and was absolutely enamored with the way her auburn hair so drastically contrasted with her pale blue dress. He sat up straight and marked his page all while looking at her.

“Yes, would you like something to drink?” He called the waiter and he ordered a coffee while I asked for a tea. “Well, I know that I might sound like a girl and you might not be okay with what I’m going to tell you.” Harry said. Whoa, is it that bad? “I like your sister, well, more than like.” He confessed. I raised an eyebrow and I felt my blood boiling.

The love and affection plays very important role in the life of every child. However, Virmati was not enough fortunate to get love and affection from her parents. She yearns for it. Manju Kapur explores Virmati’s yearning for love and affection in the following lines:

Throughout life, many individuals are blessed in certain aspects of their lives. These aspects could be in love, fortunes, or life itself. Although people may be grateful for what they have it is common that they will take these great aspects for granted. When people take these important and blessed aspects of their lives for granted it pisses me off. I have been fortunate enough to have a great life and I have been blessed in many ways. I am always sure to appreciate the people, materials, and life I have. Unfortunately, I have seen people take their lives for granted, so it is my goal to try and make these individuals realize the amazing lives they are blessed with.

It was the summer before my senior year at John I. Burton had started. I had been dating what I thought was the love of my life. His name was Alex Dean. His bright green eyes and sandy brown hair were my favorite things about him. Alex treated me with so much kindness during our relationship, and I had never had anyone treat me that way before. He was very trustworthy, but he also had a very jealous and controlling side to him. He would always say things like, “You can just text me tomorrow morning since you are going to Kacie’s, I am not going to have to beg for you to text me back.” This should have been my first red flag. Instead of investigating why it would make him so angry when I would spend time with anyone other than him, I just replied with my usual, “Alex, honey, you know I love you more than the stars. If you would rather me come home and spend time with you, that’s what I will do.” Often, I would end up being miserable while hanging out with my closest friends all because Alex was being a jealous, controlling asshole. I never really noticed or cared how controlling and jealous he was until we broke up. Young love had blinded me.

1 Peter 5:10 says, “and after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”

The bus ride, there was a seat next to my crush and my friends wanted me to sit next to him but I didn’t. We were at the Herbst theater, I can see my home from here. Once we went in. Our class was split into two to go up to the practice room.

For as long as I can remember, I have been writing lyrics, therefore, there was no surprise that I would be pouring all my love into a lyrical masterpiece when I started dating my first boyfriend. My first taste of that sweet summer love and already my head was floating amongst the clouds.

Greta always fun such joy in spending time with the Prince that she had become so fond of over the time. He was so kind and was much more than a girl like he would ever deserve. She always thought very highly of the Prince, but there were many hardships along with the wonderful memories that they had together.

Love is something that every human being as capable of feeling. No matter how hard an individual tries to avoid it, they will at one time or another will be blindsided by love. Love can come in many different forms, love for parents, love for money, love for country, to name of few. Love is something that our race has been focused on since the beginning. Civilizations have written about love throughout the ages and it has been a cornerstone of literature. Love has started wars, ended nations, created treaties and dissolved monarchs. Not only does love transcend human law when restricted but also transcends time and space. People who have been in long distance relationships can attest that no matter how far you are away from your loved one, that love does not diminish and in many cases grows stronger. The love for one’s significant other has been said to be “true” love, the love that transcends all and is more important than life itself in some cases. True love cannot be based solely on outward appearance or the physical longing for someone but is much deeper and reaches the spiritual and emotional base of our existence. True love demands commitment to another person on a level in which most people have only committed to themselves. The Bible tries to define love as patient and kind; that love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
