The Most Important Day Of My Life

This time around it was more unconceivable and included all the emotions that come with losing a loved one. I was only 16 years old trying to make it through high school. This is a time when losing a friend doesn't even seem feasible. A good friend of mine died of a drug overdose. I was in denial when I was told of Chino's death. Everything seemed so unreal as if someone was playing a cruel joke on me. His death affected me and the way I looked at friendship. It helped me cherish those around me because I never knew when I would lose someone else who meant so much to me again. A lot of our friends attended his funeral and there were a lot of tears shed. The fear of losing a close friend soon came again. In 2006 at the age of twenty-five one of my first love died due to a road rage incident. The vehicle he was riding in went over a bridge and landed in a body of water. The other two individuals he was with made it out alive, but he lost his fight shortly after arriving to the hospital. I felt so much anger, my emotions were everywhere and unpredictable. Due to some issues we had not talked for a while but had recently reconnected. There were a lot of unspoken words that we never had the chance to share and for the longest time I lived with so much regret for the way things stood between us at his time of death. It has

Life doesn’t last forever. No matter how much you yearn and pray that it does, it won’t. And that is something that you need to accept. You can’t cling desperately to something that is just out of your reach, for if you let yourself slip into the deep, dark pit of despair then you won’t be able to pull yourself out again. This realization made me stop and think. No longer was I crying for the loss of my best friend, but for the fact that she wasn’t in pain anymore and is in the best place possible. That day will never be lost in memory, nor the pain felt. Her tag still hangs around my neck, and will cease to ever come off again. This was the most irrevocably traumatizing day of my life, but I have learned so much from it. It has shown me the truth of life and death and how to overcome and push through

We tried to be friends but he was crass and insulting, so I completely cut off any communication with him. My heart was broken. I’m ashamed to say that the sadness did not only stem from losing him, but mostly from losing his

For some people, it can be easy for them to move on and forgive what has happened, but for others it can be a traumatic experience. People grieve the loss of this love in the same way that they might grieve a family member that has passed away. Often times people are left struggling to figure out who they are without the other. Their identity has, in a way, has been stripped. They do not know who they truly are anymore and must redefine their values and how they view themselves. This can be the most difficult part for some. However, once a person achieves that break through and learns their values, they can begin their journey has a new individual and start healing. All relationships a person encounters throughout their life was for a reason; to learn and to grow. As love begins to fade, there are several steps that you can take to overcome the heartbreak and move forward with your life. First, the best thing to do is to cut off all communications, including social media with your ex. Next, take time to progress to new relationships. Lastly, learn to love yourself more. By doing so you are able to set the stage for your future

At least once in a lifetime, most people will experience the end of a love and have to deal with the difficulties of moving on. The end of a romance can occur either through choosing to leave your other half or being the one who is left. In the short stories “Eveline” by James Joyce and “Hills Like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway there are particularly good examples of the end of love and acceptance of loss. The end of a relationship should not be looked at as the end of the world, but as a chance to grow from the experience. The women in these stories both felt pain from their losses but in the words of Alfred

I ignored my feelings for a while, pretending the whole thing never happened. Succeeding in this for over a year, I constantly pushed the thought of him from my head. Every time I made a choice in my life, however, I would unconsciously think of him. As I began to deal with what happened, that is what his memory became to me. A reminder to myself to create a life that I wanted to live not the one society had dreamt up for

When these relationships end, we experience despair, confusion, disappointment, failure and grief. We’re shoved into uncharted territory. Our whole lives change in the blink of an eye. We are completely unprepared and have no idea what to expect. We are ambushed by vicious smear campaigns. Our daily routine abruptly changes. We lose relationships with mutual friends and our ex’s family members. We feel lost and nervous about the future. We wonder what life will be like? We worry if we will ever find love again or if we’re doomed to end up alone. All the uncertainty of the unknown can feel worse than staying in a toxic relationship that we know is not healthy for us. So we hesitate to move forward and get stuck ruminating about all the good memories of how our ex used to be.

So much can change within a few hours, we were just exchanging wishes of being with one another. Within that time something changed, I didn’t know if being with him was the right thing. In the moment I didn’t realize that I had been making a mistake.. I couldn’t take back what I had said and his mind was set. It was over, just like that. I immediately regret my idiotic decision, I’d lost the one person I could confide in. He gave me advice, helped me up when I was down, I loved him, he was my best friend. I had known him since the seventh grade and we were freshman in high school then. I felt like I knew him inside and out while he knew me the same way. I lost

Without getting into the details of the heartbreak and emotional chaos that ensued, I should mention that the following weeks were inevitably some of the strangest of my life. It was as though my mind had rejected the idea that what had happened was a reality because the whole prospect of it seemed so otherworldly and foreign. I found myself feeling increasingly numb every day

With an overwhelming sense of missing the person you’ve loved there comes the crushing awareness of all that you’ve lost (Howarth, 2011). You would now give anything to be together again, if only long enough to be relieved of your loneliness and to be reassured that your loved one is still a part of your life.

The day that changed my perspective of life for the better through the challenges faced by others close to me.

When he took her away, I broke down into tears because I loved her so much and she was my best friend.

My phone was ringing. I was not able to attend the calls as the phone is in silent mode.

The most important day of my life is the one on which my grandmother was taken to the hospital via an ambulance. I remain amazed as to how one incident has the ability to completely change one’s perspective towards life. It was the March of 2016, right before I was going to start my March break.

My freshmen and sophomore year, I had my first real boyfriend. I was completely and totally in love with this guy, he changed me in ways that I’m proud of and ways that I’m not proud of. I revolved my world around him, which wasn’t a good idea. After almost two years of dating, we broke up and it literally shattered my world. During our relationship I became friends with his friends and I even considered one of them my best friends, so when we broke up I didn’t only loose him, I lost all of them as well. It felt so awful to all of a sudden have everything, and then just lose everything in a day. A couple of weeks later, I found out that my best friend was actually dating my ex boyfriend. I couldn’t believe that a person could betray someone like that, especially after everything that she and I went through together. I’m not proud of the events that happened after all of this, and I’m not proud of how I let them change me. The one thing that saved me was my family; they saved me in ways I can’t even explain. They gave me hope and a new life for me that I am extremely grateful for. I’ve learned to be wiser when it comes to picking friends, and choosing who to put my trust in. I also became a stronger person, I don’t let people walk all over me or I don’t let people control my life anymore.
