Reflection About Love

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 middle school I met a girl who quickly became my best friend. After we met, we did nearly everything together. We were simply incepreable. We continued to be very close all the way up into junior year of high school. This is when she met and started dating one of the senior boys from our school. She had always had a thing for "bad boys" and this boy was a picture perfect representation of one. After she started seeing him more, I started seeing her less and less. The boy she was dating apparently disliked me; a lot. He began to take control of everything in her life. When she came to lunch everyday at school, she would sit with me and a group of my friends and tell us how he would hit

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.

My ex-best friend, Holly Meehan-Metz, started to bring me down last year. Towards the end of our friendship, she had a very negative influence on me. She started smoking and drinking and eventually peer pressured me into drinking with her. I knew what I was doing was wrong and I didn't want to get in trouble with my parents or the law, so, I told her I had to stop. Then, she started involving me in drama in school. I almost drew the line there. The drama wasn't just rumors, I actually had people trying to fight me for

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.

What concepts, principles, or ideas that you have learned, do you think you will remember the most after you leave this class?

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

Most people grow up with that one best friend that they do everything with. I had that best friend her name is Emma; I have known Emma since we were both born. My dad and her mom went to high school together and have been friends since. I was a year older than Emma, but we made it work. As years went by we were finally in high school and she started to date my best guy friend, Brandon that I’ve known since 6th grade. Then this huge thing happened, and I had to decide of, never being friends with my best friend again, or try and work things out. I waited for her to apologize so that we could work things out. Unfortunately, that did not happen and we are no longer friends.

There is no one in this world that gets who I am more than Sam. I know for a fact God put him in my life at the time he did because I needed someone to keep me accountable and help me. We have been dating for about two and a half years. There has been ups and downs, but I know he is the guy I want to work through life with. He has similar goals and aspirations as I do and one of the realist Christians I know. God has truly blessed me and it’s funny to think that I would have never dated Sam if things had gone a different way and I could not be more grateful.

Your significant other, what majority of our ancestors were looking for. Some may have found everlasting love, until one of them died. And some may never have had the privilege of finding them, wandering through broken hearts and hardships. Which is why our government decided to come up with the amazing system of soulmates.

Here we have two teens, one 17 and one 18. Alexander Broom, all his friends call him alex. He is 18, he isn't really popular but he isn't a nobody either. He is pretty naive and confident.

The first part of the day, for Julia, she spent in quiet reflection out on the small balcony of her room. There were still more questions than answers. Questions of therapy for her, which she was in, but maybe the focus needed changing and she needed a new one for that, therapy for him and whether or not he’d be inclined to go, and if not, should that be a hard limit, and therapy for the both of them. Honestly, that idea didn’t appeal to her. She’d been with him long enough to be fully cognizant that anything said in couples therapy, would come back and be used as a weapon later if an argument happened. He was a master at taking her words and turning them around to use against her. Not being a fighter, and a strong dislike, maybe

Working in a setting like a group home has taught me to rethink how ungrateful I can be at times.
