Reflection About Love

Heartbreak is something that everyone goes through at least once in their life, if they are lucky. However, us as humans always trying to avoid this conflict at all means possible. Ending a relationship with someone that you have loved with your whole being is one of the most challenging things to accept. While this conflict that I would like to address is not one that personally involved me, I have been affect and defined by it. It all began in 1990, my mother and father met in a bowling alley by the name of Cedar Lanes. It was almost love at first sight, they both came from troubled past and hard previous relationships. They bonded over their passion for music, dancing, bowling and above all else their love for their children. My mother had a son, my brother David, from a previous marriage. Her first marriage was to the man that my brother calls father; it lasted roughly ten years. During this ten years, this man managed to destroy my mother in every possible way. He had physically, emotionally, and mentally abused my mother for the majority of their marriage. While it took her a while to understand her worth, she managed to escape and make a full recovery.

What is the ultimate form of a tragic love? For Wong, it is neither denial nor acceptance, but an eternal state of longing and waiting. Among Wong Kar Wei’s internationally acclaimed productions, Days of Being Wilde (1990), In the Mood for Love (2000), and 2046 (2004) are loosely counted as a trilogy of love. In the end chapter of his trilogy 2046, Wong continues to focus on Chou-Mu-Yun, a sentimental yet callous writer and womanizer. Revolving around the affairs of Chou, 2046 presents to its audience three pathways that love could possibly offer: to unite in happiness, to move on after the denial from the loved one, and to linger upon the unanswered love in perpetuity. Chou is undoubtedly chosen to be the bearer of the last pathway. As the

‘In The Mood For Love’ is a Romance melodrama and is Directed and written by Wong Kar-Wai which is a Hong Kong film and released in the year 2000.

As they both meet day by day, they begin to have an uncertain affair and at times deliberately try to avoid one another perhaps due to ethical concerns, and yet deeply miss one’s company. Unfortunately, Mr Chow and Mrs Chan’s relationship comes to a regretful end. The following analytic essay will attempt to demonstrate to provide information in detail about the key concepts of the film’s style and the director’s

A few years ago, life was a rollercoaster. My parents were constantly fighting and talking about a possible divorce. I felt that I was the blame for all the chaos. Occasionally, suicidal thoughts came into my mind. But something tells me that ending my life is a bad idea. I asked myself, “Would giving up on life like this leave a good impression for my younger brother?” With the moral dilemma, I kept telling myself that life does get better. It may be tomorrow, or the tomorrow after that. But I know that my tomorrow will eventually come. I told myself to “never let [my] feelings get [me] down. To open [my] eyes and look around.”

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.

1862 England (Victorian Era) was somewhat of an uptight society, especially compared to today. The majority of people, especially those in the upper class, were expected to be utmostly prim and proper and follow societal norms at all times. This included love, or what love was defined as during the period. George Meredith, in his poem aptly titled “Modern Love”, sets a scene where a husband and wife are sleeping side by side, both reflecting sorrowfully on their melancholy marriage. Meredith argues in this poem that the institution of modern love is inherently flawed, by exposing to the reader that while the husband and wife still care for each other, they want to leave each other because they are both scared of “modern love”. By doing so, Meredith is able to justify his overarching message that applies to all: love is a feeling that cannot be artificially replicated, and attempting to do so is only a detriment.

I used to stumble through life being self absorbed and borderline apathetic. Then, the typical middle school event occurred: a boy broke my heart. Throughout 8th grade this event tortured me, enveloping me into an irrevocable sense of misery characterized by long, tear-filled nights involving mascara smudges on pillows and puffy eyes the next morning.

Love is said to be the greatest human experience in which mankind are privilege to partake in. To love can be a wondrous experience filling life with bliss and other strong emotions.

Learning that my dad had decided to move out and divorce my mother came as a huge surprise to my family, no one saw it coming. My mother and I fell into the grasp of depression. She lost so much weight dropping down to 110-115 lbs., her face lacked color and her body was so frail. She would force a smile when my sister was around but I recognized the pain in her eyes because I felt it too. I found myself suppressing my emotions so that I would come off as OK, so that my mom wouldn’t have to worry about me, so that my sister didn’t realize that

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.

The story I'm about to tell you is about the darkest time of my life. Let's flash back to exactly one year ago, to when I was blinded from what I thought was love. It was my first serious relationship and fell way too fast. That was the first mistake. My mom warned me to take it slow but of course I just brushed her off because she didn't know anything about what I was feeling. Two young kids in love, what could go wrong with that? To me he was all I had dreamed of, those dark brown eyes and addicting laugh. He treated me like a princess, at first, and I never have felt that way before and I couldn't get enough of it. I was obsessed about him in every way, and he felt the same. Of course we fought like every other couple, but we made up soon after and everything was perfect again. It was like I was in a fairy tale. However, to everyone else, he was the opposite of my prince. He was the evil stepsister in Cinderella, who wanted to control every aspect of my life, and when I wouldn't let him, he transformed into the evil stepmother. Months went by and even though everyone else around me saw right through him, I still had a blindfold over my eyes. I never realized until now how bad he treated me. It was like I was in a fog and all I cared about was the good parts. But the bad definitely outweighed the good on so many levels. You don't tell someone you love that they're fat and to eat less. You don't tell them they can't go out to dinner with their family. You can't control

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

We deserve love – if anything, this is probably one of those things in life that we are ALL entitled to.

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.
