A Misguided Love When my husband and I exchanged our declarations towards each other; I was under the illusion that he was a man of substance. Every woman wants to assure themselves in marrying a man who will protect, honor and provide for his family. I find it amusing when I reminisce about the first time my husband (Fernandez) and I traversed paths. We probably did not do no more than glance at one another, but we were both desiring love. We grew up in the same church, raised with the same beliefs with the goal of finding and marrying someone within our church. I can still remember the first time we spoke to each other. It was the beginning of June 2010, we had just both graduated from high school. Every year my church asks all the newly graduates to come down to the stage to receive recognition for their accomplishments. As I came to the church enormous doors I happen to glance over and seen him standing by himself waiting for the church pastor to call us down. His eyebrows were the first thing that caught my attention. His eyebrows were the shape of two thick black hairy caterpillars. I always had a strong infatuation with profuse eyebrows.

In 2014, my mother approached me about moving back in with her so my son can have a stable life. Along with moving back in with her she encouraged me to take the opportunity to go back to school full-time while raising my son. I told Fernandez about the conversation my mother and I had earlier that day, he advised me that I should go for it. As I moved back in with my mother I realize Fernandez started to lack in his fatherly duties. He was not being emotionally, physically or finically supportive. With that being displayed I had to get in tune to the survivor mode my mother had embedded in me and start raising my son by myself. This whole experience has taught me a lot when it comes to life
The fourth virtue, Double Happiness, “is synonymous with one of life’s most important celebrations-marriage” (Sung 156). Marriage obviously cannot occur without two individuals, which means it cannot be achieved alone. But in order for love to be found and marriage to occur, an individual endeavor must occur as well. One person must be willing to be vulnerable so another can learn to love him or her.
Often times people tend to plan out events and expect things to go smoothly. The problem with this though is that things in life don’t always go as planned. You don’t always win the big game or competition, You don’t always get the “love” of your dreams or receive the advanced technology device you were hoping to get on Christmas. Life just doesn’t work that way. You have to move on. Tash captured that to perfection with the main character teen nerd, Graham, in The Geek’s Guide to Unrequited Love, who planned his entire weekend at the New York City Comic-con with plans to win his best friend’s, Roxanna’s, heart. Tash has written 3 books in total and has won Amazon Best Book of 2016, Publishers Weekly Best Summer Book of 2016 and YALSA 2017 Top Ten Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers.
Oates’ novella is a love story between Officer Dromoor and the Maguire women, both Teena and Bethel. It is a tale that morphs a love for justice into one that represents a love for feeling supported. The Maguires are scorned by the people of Niagara Falls. Teena, even more so after the gang rape, is perceived as the town ‘whore,’ drug addict, and a bad parent. John Dromoor’s mere presence on the family creates a mutual respect, or love, amidst such difficult circumstances. Years after the events at the Rocky Point Park occurred and Dromoor is no longer in the Maguires’ lives, the story ends with Bethel’s husband telling her that she “looked so lonely, suddenly” (Oates 154) after
When looking at the differences of how women and men think about love, a very different point is made. In Steve Harvey’s book Act Like A Lady Think Like A Man, he discusses a woman’s love for her man, “Nothing … can compare with a woman’s love”(19). “A woman’s love it is kind and compassionate, patient and nurturing, generou...
Love is precious to every living soul on this planet. With the absence of love, people start contemplating their own worth. Every year, more than two million people die in the United States and this leaves millions of loved ones behind to grieve (Kerr). This can be said for someone who has lost a dear love, their spouse. The loss of a loved one can be the most traumatic event in a person’s life. According to the Psychiatric Times by the age of 65, “more than half of American women and ten percent of American men have been widowed at least once” (Hensley). My 83 year old mother became a widow some years back. The devastation she felt was true and all those around her could see the struggle she was beginning to face.
I can spot his mistake. Previously, he would confess to being wrong before anyone could tell. Now she is making him so happy he forgets to notice his own faults. She shows him the features she loves, and he must believe her, because he loves her more than he could ever hate himself. So now he is happy, he is loved. He no longer dwells on what he's done, but rather what he does. So he puts all he is into being everything she needs and wants. Now she is the only thing he cares about. Yes, he is happy. And she is happy. They are both happier than they have ever been before... And now no one else wants anything to do with them. They don't need anything from anyone, they have each other. They aren't offering anything to anyone; they could never waste an opportunity to give a little more to each other. So no one cares for them any more. They don't mind. In fact, they don't notice.
We see it all the time. Forbidden love comes in many forms, we just tend to overlook it. People think it’s not a big deal, these things, but it’s becoming a bigger deal all the time. People always think there’s some reason a couple shouldn’t be together, whether it’s an actual reason such as abuse, or even if the relationship is healthy and people just don’t like it because it’s different from what they believe. Whether it’s a same sex marriage, it’s interracial, or if someone in their families just doesn’t like each other, if the relationship is healthy and the people in it are happy, they should be able to be with who they want.
There are many positive things and negative things about the movie and the story. In the movie
“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.” ~ John Lennon
“A Love like that was a serious illness, an illness form which you can never entirely recover” said Charles Bukowski ,a German born poet. Love can exist in many forms; however, there is one manifestation of love that seems to have fascinated humanity since the dawn of history.

The connection between love and states of illness and madness has existed since antiquity. In fact, love is an illness that leads to many psychological and physical disorders.

As I have grown, I have encountered many different circumstances that have had an impact on the things I believe in. I have had some beliefs that have been proven wrong, and some beliefs that did not exist at one point but are now a major part of my life, but one belief has stayed the same through everything that I have been trough and that is “Love”. Love is such a broad topic but the love that I believe in is much deeper. I believe that love is so strong that it is blind and can conquer hate. I have personally witnessed blind love conquer the hate that could possibly never be broken and produce something so beautiful.
There is no certainty in love. It is a we risk we all must take. It can be a very slippery slope to tread regardless of any protective barriers we may have built. Love is a wonderful thing but it also bears the most poignant sorrow. Most especially, when you find yourself restrained in an unrequited love. It is one of the favorite themes in movies, televisions, songs, books and poetry. What is it anyway? Well, unrequited love is also commonly called as one-sided love affair. It is that kind of love that is not openly reciprocated or returned. Often the object of such love is a friend, acquaintance and someone regularly encountered in the workplace, school, dating websites or in any entity you are actively involved. Consequently, the beloved may or may not be aware of the admirer's deep and strong romantic affection.
