Broken Heart It all began as I got out of an unrequited relationship with my former boyfriend. He was too caught up on himself and didn’t take my needs into consideration. He ignored me and did what he wanted. He was never able to fulfill any of my needs. It was like being in a relationship with a brick. So I decided to end it. Therefore, I was left with an empty hole in my heart that needed to be filled.
#1 the Infatuation Stage This is the first stage in every relationship. As described by Elizabeth Arthur in 9 Relationship Stages That All Couples Go Through, “It almost always starts with an intense attraction and an uncontrollable urge to be with each other”. Both may be intensely attracted to each other, or both may simply enjoy each

I wanted to be single for some time until I found my perfect match. I wanted to be certain, as I could not bear anther disappointment. While doing research, I suddenly came across an image of him and my heart skipped a beat. His shady black and soft mellow skin made me grow an intense attraction for him. I had him engraved in my head and was intrigued to know everything about him. So I began asking my friends questions about him such as: Is he fast? Is he big? Will he let me talk to friends? Can I easily push his buttons? Will he break down on me? But of course, they weren’t able to answer all my questions. But as intrigued as I now was, I decided go on the hunt for him. #2 the understanding / the Romance Stage As describe by Bruce Mizik in The 5 Stages of Relationship “Nature designed the Romance Stage to have us fall in love” (Muzik). Just like getting high, falling in love allows you to only see where you are similar to your lover, hiding your partner’s flaws and making you say and do anything to get along and please each other. “The only difference between being in love and being (an addict) high on drugs is that being in love is legal” (Mizik).
Love at First

I’m not happy. Although Max tries to be there for me, I think I need someone different. I happened to pass by the same exact place that I met him and I couldn’t bear to notice there is a new guy. Yes, he is younger that Max and not as good looking, but maybe he will be better, faster, and more reliable. However, I can’t bear to tell Max. He has done so much for me. “When I fumble in spelling a word… (he) automatically corrects me—a selfless act to keep my best interests in mind” (Cipriani). But I’ve started taking him for granted. I am just using him. I go out with friends and prefer to leave him home because I don’t want to be looking out for him. I’m neglecting you. But it is time for me to focus on myself. These past months with you all I’ve been doing is “living in a constant state of semi-paralyzing fear that the battery is going to die on you unexpectedly …” (Fagan). It’s not you, it’s me. I’ve come to realize I need some space to figure our relationship out. I just can’t help to realize we have a rather symbiotic relationship in which “my phone knows the finite details of my brightest and darkest moments. Through snaps and taps I’m constantly pouring my heart out to my hand-held device and get nothing in return”
The notion behind loving someone is simply a very complicated and esoteric in nature. People often describe a certain chemistry, as in a certain attraction, needed between two individuals who are in love but Barbara Fredrickson is able to coordinate the definition of love on the basis of chemicals. Barbara Fredrickson is able to provide the definition of love on the deductive reasoning based on chemistry, biology, and neurology explained in Love 2.0: How our Supreme Emotion Affects Everything we Feel, Think, Do, and Become. As Barbara explains "With each micro-moment of love, then, you climb another rung on the spiraling ladder that lifts you up to your higher ground, to richer and more compassionate social relationships, to greater resilience
The general umbrella of love encompasses various kinds of love, such as romantic love, the love of a parent for a child, love of one’s country, and several others. What is common to all love is this: Your own well-being is tied up with that of someone (or something) you love. When love is not present, changes in other people’s well being do not, in general, change your own. Being ‘in love’ infatuation is an intense state that displays similar features:. and finding everyone charming and nice, and thinking they all must sense one’s happiness....
Look around, many people are going through that phase in their lives where they are trying to figure out where they belong. They may be trying to hang out with different groups of people, try new clothes, and act differently than they did maybe just a couple of months ago. Love is just another stepping stone in life that helps in the search for one’s identity. Finding love is a life changing experience, all the emotions people go through. Love is a strong drug that most people will experience in their life.
Lust is an incredibly strong feeling that can prove to be almost uncontrollable, leading it to commonly be mistaken for love. Due to the relative closeness of these emotions, both are often confused, and even when one is in love he or she does not recognize it. Many think that love just comes knocking on one's door and one will know when it does, but they don't realize that for love to occur a relationship has must be worked out. Love is described by some as fireworks, tingles, and butterflies in the stomach; but it is lust that can cause these things to happen, and it is these that mark only the beginning of a relationship. After a while, these feelings die out, and this is when the honeymoon period is over; it is from this point on that the relationship will either end or get stronger and eventually lead to true love.
Love and infatuation are both strong emotions that most will encounter within their lifetime. The two feelings are often misunderstood, but are differentiated through their outcomes and stability. True love does not only rely on physical attraction, but also on one’s personality. When one is truly in love, they accept their partner’s flaws and perfections. There is a connection between two people, in which they can make compromises and smart decisions. The love grows stronger with time and is not instant. On the other hand, infatuation occurs almost instantaneously and progresses quickly. Infatuation relies on lust and physical attraction. It can cause an individual to
For her privacy, I'll refer to her as Rin. I was happy for the first few months, but the relationship became suffocating later on. Rin wanted my undivided attention at all times of the day. In addition, Rin had severe anxiety. My love for Rin slowly died and obligation took its place. I felt obliged to stay with her. It's nauseating that I felt this way, but what else could I do? I thought that I had to stay with Rin to keep her safe from herself. As a result, I stayed with her, not as a lover, but a caretaker. One evening with friends, Rin demanded we leave, for Rin didn't like that she had to share me. I couldn't deal with her distancing me from friends anymore. I called Rin and cut all ties between us and our mutual friends. I gave her neither chance for dialogue nor reprisal, just like Paul Neruda. In hindsight, I didn't love her. Because I am a loser who has no chance in love, I was more in love with the idea of a girlfriend. As a result, I didn't love Rin, I loved my girlfriend. If I had truly had feelings for Rin, I would've resolved my problems through dialogue, not by running away like a
Love is volatile, and falling in love is a feeling that overwhelmes many people. When people lose their love they’ve searched to hard for, it makes them think and feel ways that are often new to them; they go insane craving love after they’ve lost it, or will become scared once they’ve found it. These emotions are exemplified in the song “Temporary Love” by The Brinks, the song “All in Good Fun” written by Bess Rogers, and the book “Griffin and Sabine” by Nick Bantock. The lust for something again just to not feel numb inside, and for some this emptiness can be solved quickly by unhealthy coping methods (ie using drugs) This process is a rollercoaster with a vast range of emotions that can drag people down .
The book that I selected to write about for this discussion is called When your Adult Child Breaks Your Heart. The purpose of this book was to help parents cope that have children that suffers from a mental illnesss, substance abuse and problems that tears the family apart, but the purpose of this overall assignment is to explore prednovied notions about a particular illness. There are many mental illness that is listed within the book, but the one that I decided to talk about was schizophrenia. Schizophrienia is mental disorders can appear in late adolescent and early adulthood, “ characterized by delusion, hallucation” ( Nordogvist 2017). Individuals that suffer schizophrenia are often said to have no emotions.
1. What actions occur offstage and why does the author elect to place some actions offstage and other actions onstage?
Our relationship started with initiating stage. Our relationship begins when we met each other in our new high school since both of us came from another high school before. At first we just glanced at each
Intimacy that goes deep without defining a level of commitment is
Love, an intense feeling of deep affection. Everyone wants to reach this state, whether its physically, mentally, or emotionally. Love brings peace, it 's the only thing that does not hurt. Hate hurts, lies hurt, loneliness hurts, but love is what cures all of the wounds. Seeking a lifelong partner to provide support, for a plethora of people, is an ultimate objective and goal. This happiness can be discovered several times; however, only true love will triumph. Not an average, but a supererogatory significant other is what is dreamt of. Falling in love is process, and can manipulative. Provoking someone to fall inlove will allow for the long-term presence of a supportive and loving significant other. Those who seek both; to have
When you truly know them, their no clashes with each others, just straight love. No emotional fears, because you took the time to talk to each others, that is the beauty of it. Careesing each other in your arms like crazy glue. Sex or sexual activity is voluntary activity with partner that involves sexual contact whether or not intercourse or orgasm.
I listen to the constant roar of motors as the dirt bikes and go-carts race around the small track behind me. For a few (usually uneventful) hours every Tuesday, I work at the ticket and rider registration booth; collecting money and making everyone sign the if-you-die-you-can’t-sue-us forms. As usual, I was signing in a few riders and spectators at my station; as I listened to my ipod in one ear I completed my task that I had done hundreds of times before. However, this time something distracted me, something that made me lose my rhythm in completing the current customer’s registration. That something turned out not to be the usual bike, go-cart, or anything with a gas or break. That something turned out to be a guy. He stood in the line and watched the motocrossers lay the bikes sideways in the air and land it, making it look easy as pie. However, at that moment I couldn’t have cared less about the motocross race going on right next to me, there could have been a massive bike pile up and it wouldn’t have brought me out of this odd trance. Regarding looks, he seemed absolutely perfect. His skin was a nice tan probably from riding in the sun, his eyes were piercing blue and he was the perfect height. I quickly realized that I had been ignoring the customer that I was currently helping, and kept stealing glances his way to take another look. I finished up the current customer and sent him on his way, probably wondering why this girl was so distracted the entire time. Never the less I worked through the next customer quickly in order to have a chance to talk to this mysterious guy. I kept stealing glances over at him until finally it was his turn to be signed in. As he walked up I met his gaze and he smiled. He looked even more beau...
Although this sounds very sexual, this feeling is just the beginning of what will most likely become a sexual passion. When in this first state of attraction, your body feels different - more bouncy, more energetic, and in need of less food and sleep. When in this state of attraction, one feels very happy and different every time that they are with this person. Frequently, the presence (or sometimes merely thought) of the loved one can evoke specific physiological reactions. These physiological reactions include: erections for the male, wetness for the female, a lump in the throat, sweaty palms, weak knees, cold feet, a pounding heart.
