It was early in the morning; I was pulling myself together, throwing on my shoes and dragging my self over to galactica, making my way over to the last day of school. There I was saying goodbye to all of my friends, but this time it was a little different. There wasn’t that summer atmosphere in my heart, I was ten years old and everything I knew was just about to change and I didn’t even see it coming. Planet Blathnik was about to be my past, and I’d better buckle up cause I was about to board a train that was going to go faster than I could ever imagine. But first, there is a little bit about my past you should know too precisely understand what my life was going to be like once I stepped off this earth.
I guess I could start with

There I was jumping on my hoverbike, and I know a little old fashion, but just so that you don't feel out of time this was in year 84.81.88 and even though it wasn't exactly up to date it was the best thing I had. My dad wasn't precisely pocket-friendly, but that doesn't matter cause on trash day, there it was, still running and maybe much more massive than me but it was nevertheless the best thing I had and only took a giant hop just to get on top. It was fast and dangerous and flew me down the streets of my city all the way to the beautiful girl I was waiting all day to see. I got there with a smile on my face, knocked on the door, and her mother answered, told me that she was just on her way back from her friends and that she would be returning sometime soon. She didn't exactly know I was coming to visit her but I wanted to surprise her cause I knew it might be the last time I'd see her for a long time.
There she was her hair in the air and her bright smile of laughter as she road her way towards me, with whom it seemed as her friend. She stopped near me but before she could say anything her friend interrupted. What are you doing here? With a displeased look on her face and as I struggled to get my words out, I was finally able to say what I wanted to. Uh, um, I'm... here to see Stella. What, why, like how do you know where she lives? Um, she's my girlfriend? And there it struck me; I didn't
The breaking point of Scobie starting to feel overly compassionate about Louise seems to be the death of their daughter Catherine; ever since, he is not able to love anybody else, only through pity. It is very likely that he once truly loved Louise but throughout the book, his only feeling towards her is “pity love,” a term used by Greene himself, and the exceptional feeling of responsibility for her happiness. “Louise said, ‘I’ve known it for years. You don’t love me.’ … ‘That’s your conscience,’ she said, ‘your sense of duty. You’ve never loved anyone since Catherine died’” (Greene 57). At one point in the novel, he is feeling truly at peace when he believes to have made given Louise what she wanted – to leave. “I’ve prayed for peace and
The journey that Richard and Mildred Loving took is important for history and for the future of civil rights in the United States. I recently watched the documentary The Loving Story and enjoyed the footage, pictures, and interviews of everyone involved in the Loving v. Virginia case. The documentary addressed the issue of interracial marriage in Virginia in 1967.
Much has been said about love, but if you search the horizon, you will discover that most of the things written about love are either pithy or cynical.
Love has various definitions to countless people around the world. Not only that but is also has many different actions shown by different people as well. Love can range from a wide variety of options, it could be sitting of the couch for the weekend binge watching your favorite television show, it could be your love or passion for a sport, it could be the person who everytime you see them your heart races and fills your mind with nothing but love, and in some cases sex can be love. But what is the true meaning of love? “Love- an intense feeling of deep affection, or a person or thing that one loves” (Merriam-Webster). With as many permutations as it has, love is still rare. One can’t wake up, walk outside, and go to the first girl one knows and marry her. It takes time to build up something so powerful yet so fragile. There are many questions to what love is along with the fairytale with true love and happily ever after. Love is something all people need because it is a bond that is needed to survive. Not everyone is completely educated on why love is important and how something so fragile and something that seems so non-existent can be so powerful when it is obtained but destroys when it is lost.
She stands at 5'6’’ tall; she has pretty blonde hair, with the most beautiful green eyes you will ever see! Her smile, her smile still gives me butterflies in the pit of my stomach. She walks with such grace, and she is not afraid to show or share her love for Christ! She does so much to make sure that I am more than satisfied. She is an amazing mother to our beautiful 4 year old daughter. As you might have figured out, that woman, she is my wife Amanda! I never thought we would be together; 4.5 years later, we have a beautiful love story.
What does the word love mean? I have heard the word love since I was a child, but never really seemed to learn a definition, love meant something different to everyone. I stopped by Hallmark store to pick out a happy mother’s day card and found myself absorbing all the different types of cards on love. There were some for mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, friends, just about anyone I could think of. The content in these cards showed me that true love isn’t written in just one form, but in many messages put together.
As we grow up in life, we grow up with the understanding that we are loved or to give love. Sometimes that love turns into hate depending on the circumstances which it involves. As Christians, we are taught to show and give love to all and not to hate anyone. God directs us to teach others to do the same. With that being said, love and hate have an enormous amount of meaning that can be explained in a Theological, Biblical and Practical manner.
It was the first day of summer, my friends and I were headed to Great America. From the cloudless sky, the sun seemed to boil the air around us, in the muggy car with the air conditioning on full blast. The radio was turned on at almost full volume, the noise came out in static and it would sometimes cut out. My blue baseball hat knocked on the window as I anxiously stare out of it, anticipating our arrival. Finally, out in the distance I could see the very top of the newest ride, peaking over the trees. It’s vibrant orange color made it stand out over everything else. As sweat started to drip down my forehead and the air around me was getting thicker, I saw the exit, which meant we were only moments away.. We took a sharp turn to the right, causing everything in the car to slide, but
Love has many different meanings to different people. For a child, love is what he or she feels for his mommy and daddy. To teenage boy, love is what he should feel for his girlfriend of the moment, only because she says she loves him. But as we get older and "wiser," love becomes more and more confusing. Along with poets and philosophers, people have been trying to answer that age-old question for centuries: What is love?
In a world obsessed with the possession of "things," it is ironic to see that all people seek one thing that is completely intangible, love. Love can't be held, bought, manipulated, traded, forgotten, or stolen. Love is pure, honest, true, fulfilling, and most of all valuable. Love is not limited either. An unknown author once wrote, "Trying to bring pleasure to someone, because of the pleasure you feel to see that person's pleasure, is perhaps the most beautiful demonstration of love." Isn’t amazing how something so powerful can be found in the simplest of things. In my life I have felt love in many aspects of my life. I love my family, my friends, my country, my life, and myself. These are all the
One of the topics touched on in our AGRO 106 - 001 was gender roles and responsibility in romantic relationships. I am American however I was raised in Caribbean culture, more specifically in a Jamaican household. So I see both ‘hands’ of gender roles and what is expected in relationships from each party. I also see the pros and cons of pre determined gender roles in romantic relationships as well responsibilities based on gender.
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.
I met her two years ago and we did not have much to say at that time. Little did I know that she would later steal my heart and become an intimate part of my life. As the saying goes "there is someone for anyone at any time in this life" and I was about to find out that this saying was so true. I have had a wall built around me and my defense was as a stronghold to protect myself from all the relationships that have come and gone over the years. I thought that I was meant to be alone in this old life and happiness was forever gone from me. This wonderful woman I am speaking of is Mary Doe, and the joy she has given me has revived my hope and faith that I may have finally found love and peace within. She has made me feel like I am a child
Pain has a way of changing people- at least that is true in my case. It has been four months, yet I do not know what happened to my father. My mother is losing it every day- I see her life slipping away from her and I wish there was something I could do, but if wishes were horses, then beggars would ride. I was a bubbly girl, who used to talk to everyone I met but now I am a shell of myself. I barely get by at work and I know my boss is almost tired of me. I do not blame him though because he can only do so much with a business to run. My love life is nonexistent because my boyfriend of three years said he could no longer take my mood swings. He hasn’t spoken to me in three weeks.
Three rings sit upon my hand, wrapping around the perimeter of my fingers. Each one was given to me in order to represent what I mean to the bestower, one ring means more. It’s not that it holds a higher monetary value, rather just a higher and wider space in my heart. I see a future in it, a promise that love is present, and will remain that way during my lifetime. It’s bonded to my finger, leaving a line behind when rarely removed. It’s a promise.
