Some say love is like a rose, and just like every rose, love is beautiful. But don’t forget every rose has it's thorns. Love can be unforgiving and ruthless, but at the end of the day it should be about spending time with the one person you admire most. Some people spend their whole life looking for what they seemingly think the definition of love is but they never find what they are looking for. On April 9th, 2015, I found what some people don’t find in a lifetime. Love. When you’re looking to hard for your significant other, that is when you will never find them. Honestly, when you are not looking at all is when you find them for most people. It was like that for me anyways. One day the boys and I were talking about our futures, of course …show more content…
But we got this idea that we would stop at what the locals know it as “Uptown”. All it is is a gigantic parking lot in the center of Carrier Mills but that is where we went to all get together and hangout. During the day it may just look like a parking lot, but by nightfall it looks like a used car lot. Kids from all around come to hang out with everyone and shoot the bull. I know you’re asking yourself “What does any of this have to do with love?”. Well little did I know that was the night that would change my life forever. Shortly after pulling up to uptown my buddy Jonathan Smith aka Johnny called me over to his truck nicknamed “ the candy shop”. We carried on a normal conversation just as we always had before, when out of nowhere he asks me if i’m single. As I reply with a yes, I told him if he wanted me that bad he’d have to buy me dinner first. Anyways he told me about how he had the perfect girl for me. As any man knows most of your friends are pranksters and once you get to this point they show you a picture of a 900 pound girl looking for her boyfriend. Something was different this time, it was a picture of the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world. I was shocked this wasn’t one of those pranks but I immediately knew she was out of my league, really even my ballpark. Even though she was indeed out of my league Johnny told me to trust him on this one. I asked myself what I
Although it can be confusing to a lot of people, in its truest form, love is ultimately
They say love is pure, sweet, and something that you can never forget. You feel as if your whole world was turned upside down, and you seem to do things so foolish because of it. It is the greatest feeling the universe gives you. Although they refuse to tell you of the longing, terror, or the pain of it. It is nothing other than a burden, a nightmare which I wish to awaken from.
While Carter was there he noticed a girl with beautiful brown hair about 5’4 and the perfect smile approaching him. Carter began to talk to the eye catching women and offered to buy her drinks. They drank, laughed, and she went home but the rest of that night was a blur. Beep, Beep, Beep,
This is not an accurate representation of what love really
Undying love is difficult to move on from and can wear on one's
My life has been surrounded with so much love. However. it’s not “modern love” where you send cute messages. It’s been the old love that 's hard to find. The kind of love where my mom or dad would come home with flowers just because.
It was her, the girl he had been searching for so many years. She was here, right in front of him. After telling himself so many times that she was gone, she was really here. Guy’s tired eyes seemed to light up in a way that he hadn’t experienced for over a decade. He studied the face of this young woman.
Janie Crawford, perhaps one of the greatest love philosophers and protagonist, says, “Love ain’t somethin’ lak uh grindstone dat’s de same thing everywhere and do de same thing tuh everything it touch. Love is lak de sea. It’s uh movin’ thing, but still and all, it takes its shape from de shore it meets, and it’s different with every shore”
When describing the word love, millennials tend to think along the lines of caring, nurturing, belonging, one-true-pair: all words that encompass it. However, the word vulnerability is often left out of the mix. Joseph Franzen (2011) in “Liking Is for Cowards. Go for What Hurts.” shares his thoughts to the reader on his journey to finding love.
“Some think love can be measured by the amount of butterflies in their tummy. Others think love can be measured in bunches of flowers, or by using the words 'for ever. ' But love can only truly be measured by actions. It can be a small thing, such as peeling an orange for a person you love because you know they don 't like doing it.” Marian Keyes was saying that it isn’t the feeling of love that makes a relationship last, but the actions to keep the relationship going that shows true love.
True love is selfless. It guides and warms everyone it encounters. It’s a flower that continues to grow and grow until it can’t be ignored. However, many may only see the light and ignore it’s shadows. It’s a wild animal, self-governed and free.
The short story “What We Talk about When We Talk about Love” by Raymond Carver is about four friends- Laura, Mel, Nick, and Terri, gathering on a table and having a conversation. As they start to drink, the subject abruptly comes to “love.” Then, the main topic of their conversation becomes to find the definition of love, in other word to define what exactly love means. However, at the end, they cannot find out the definition of love even though they talk on the subject for a day long. Raymond Carver in “What We Talk about When We Talk about Love” illustrates the difficulty of defining love by using symbols such as heart, gin, and the sunlight.
but I was blinded by love. Luckily it ended because once I saw reality, I felt insane for wanting the spend the rest of my life with him. The love for a couple should be pure, trusting, selfless, and should take time to build into a strong foundation. I’ve personally seen many relationships fail in my life and most of the time it’s because they were lacking on one of those aspects listed above.
Love is such a big word to define. It conveys various meanings to different people depending on the given situation and time. The world began because of love, and with that, God created us uniquely. Our parents trying their very best to provide our needs, to make us happy, and to mold us to become a better person someday, couples striving hard to keep the fire burning in their relationship, children giving back to their parents in various ways, a friend supporting his or her companions, and a nation succoring other nations all of these are expressions of love in different forms.
Love: An endless supply of happiness and dopamine I’ll never forget the time I met my girlfriend. I was at my best friend’s birthday party, when a tall beautiful girl with wavy brown hair and the clearest complexion, her face full of happiness and joy. The moment I saw her, was the moment I knew that I had powerful feelings for her. It was amazing actually…feelings began to swell in brain, lust, compassion, affection, adoration, racing through my mind. That would be the day that I would began to fall for Alex.
