What is that one heart break that changed you? What did it feel like? I have had a couple of relationships that changed me and for the better, too. Each new relationship brought on that wonderful high feeling of joy, happiness, love, pride, etc. Then the problems would start, and the ending would start closing in fast. The end always hurt at first. I felt as if karma was punishing me for some reason unknown and was just being plain out mean. As time went on, the heart ache lessened. I would see the relationship with a new perspective and would see the problems. I would get angry, grieve, and then move on. After the first love, I said I would never love again. But like a lot of us that have said that, I did love again. That love was worse than the first. It got me a hospital stay and almost killed me, but that is a story for another day.
I was seventeen when I met my first love. He was wonderful, fun, older, and seemed to have a stable life that had room in it for me. About two years into the relationship, we decided to have a baby. Things were perfect, or so I thought. I started no...

when I was four. 10 whole years together. From the time we were little we have done everything together go to school, Church, park. I mean we spend countless hours together our families are very close. The thing that gets me away from anything is singing I joined the church choir when I was 9 years old. Singing is what gets me away from reality no matter how much money others have or how much society accepts them it can’t give them a voice. I find
Even though it didn’t work out and neither did many other relationships after that. I refused to give up on being alone, or bitter for the rest of my life. I wanted my children to have a better childhood and life than I had, and this is where the stage of generativity vs. stagnation in my middle adulthood changed my life and made me the amazing person I am today. I began to look at the bigger picture, and what laid ahead in my future. I wanted things I never imagined were possible because of my family morals, and early stages and experiences through my development. I met my husband that I’m married to now for 24 years, and began to feel loved, wanted, cherished. My children saw me as supermom, loved me even though I had flaws. I wasn’t the perfect parent, but my kids loved and excepted me, and as they grew so did I, not only was I teaching them family values, and morals I never had, they were teaching me how to love myself and grow with them. I became very productive, went back to school to earn my high school diploma, and am now earning a college
I’m 17 now. 17 years of endurance and if you think it gets easier, think again. I had my first crush then, she being a bud that blossomed beautifully into the ripe of age of 17. She was the epitome of lovely. Making my insides flutter and brain turn to mush whenever she graced me with her charming smiles and calming presences. But oh how much I detested myself even more then. As I caught her secretly wiping her palms onto her skirt after shaking my clammy hands.She knew of my condition and that small action alone was yet another painful sting to remind me of how I just wasn’t the
That experience basically instilled in me that no matter how good things are going it could change in an instant. I also stopped taking the small things in my life for granted. I live by the phrase, “It could always be worse”. It helps me stay positive in even the most stressful situations. Things don’t affect me like they used to because I can have that positive perception of just about any problem I
changed and that was her belief in me… because of her unconditional love I am the person that I am today… her reassurance and patience made all the difference.

...ons and anguish filled my heart as I listened to the pain of love. The effects of this lie broke my heart at the time as well as my trust and it took a long time to overcome the trust issues that were a result of this lie.
My boyfriend and I were so happy; we were such a “perfect couple.” He was truly a great guy, and I ,a well rounded character. I thought I knew him but fate would prove me wrong. He once told me that we would make it through anything, but I knew this was different he had dreams, and so much potential, this would surely detour him from his goals in life. My partner knew as well as I did that me getting pregnant was an accident but in the end he did not hesitate walking out on me, and there my chaos began.
I remember the first one I had was back in seventh grade. He was the sweetest and the most respectful guy I ever met. I always had this idea that whomever I am going to settle with, should be able to be accepted by my family, and I had clear ideas of who or what my parents could accept. That first relationship did not last a long. Obviously, it was a childhood romance, and nothing serious. Over the years, I made choices that were not the very best, and I, at some point lost some of the values and goals I had set to myself. However, today, I am back on track, and I know what I expect from my partner. I think that I am at a stage in life where I would not like to be involved romantically with someone that will not be a good friend, a good father, a good husband, and a good provider. The person I will choose to be my life partner should have all the qualities to be my friend first, have a sense of responsibilities that shows that he will be able to start a family and provide for them, be able to be present for his family in good and bad times, and support them. I have tried over the years to be engaged romantically with someone who has these criteria, to avoid
...unfair when I left, suddenly became people when I returned. I suddenly realized their good intentions and how they had sacrificed so much so that I would be able to educate and better myself. I made time for friends, and went out of my way to acknowledge and help people who I wouldn’t have noticed before. I fully appreciated everything in my life, and all the things I had taken for granted suddenly became important and meaningful.
...saw that bad experiences in life should not turn you into a cold person and allow your heart to become guarded.
Many changes for the good and some were bad but, there were some learning experiences that help make me a better person. The events in my life, was dealing with the Birth and The Death of my first daughter.
At first, one of the best memories is when I saw my love for the first time. I saw her at the American embassy in my country Bangladesh. She went to the embassy to pick up her visa and at the same time I also went there to pick up my visa. After I saw her, I had feeling for her so that I want to be with her. Love at first sig...
My Sophomore year I had been dating a very special girl for almost a year when I did the unspeakable to her. I cheated on her with a friend of ours for the period of a month. In that month I was not thinking about what I was doing or how badly she would be hurt if she ever found out. I forgot about all of the emotions attached to this situation, and just let my sixteen hormones take over. She eventually found out, and it destroyed her. How could someone she loved so much do something so awful. This was the first time I had broke down since my parents spilt up. The day she found out I drove her home from school, and she seemed so emotionless, so empty on the inside. I didn’t get how I did this to her. The moment I heard “I’m breaking up with you” was the moment I profusely began crying, and it went on for an hour. Even though she was the one hurting, she held me the entire time trying to comfort me the best she could. She made me realize how deep a persons kindness should go, she changed me into knowing how much it matters to take into account other people’s feelings. She taught me the generosity necessary to be a good human, a great human
