Why is it that heartache almost always precede after the act of first love? Things would be simpler if timing were not a crucial factor in romance. If love would transcend our different points in our foreign journeys. Rob, you say you are ready to take the fateful jump, but won't do it lonesome. Love, you say, is a two way thing. Your vision and hopes are turning bleak and suspenseful now; you never imagined it like this. But what do you do with all your passion and smitten feelings and sentimental attachment about this relationship when you have to face the possibility that it will not go your way this time? Will you hold on to them and wait, suffering in silence? Or at last, will another road be taken?

I believe that the crossroads after heartache is this: to move on from what the universe that brought you (appreciate the lesson) or to engulf yourself with sadness (hold on to it so tightly for months). I know that there are few issues that will destroy you faster than matters of the heart. You are, after all, an emotional, albeit resilient being.

Over the years, I've held ...

  • Binaries Of Love Essay

    1410 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Lais of Marie de France is a compilation of short stories that delineate situations where love is just. Love is presented as a complex emotion and is portrayed as positive, while at other times, it is portrayed as negative. The author varies on whether or not love is favorable as is expressed by the outcomes of the characters in the story, such as lovers dying or being banished from the city. To demonstrate, the author weaves stories that exhibit binaries of love. Two distinct types of love are described: selfish and selfless. Love is selfish when a person leaves their current partner for another due to covetous reasons. Contrarily, selfless love occurs when a lover leaves to be in a superior relationship. The stark contrast between the types of love can be analyzed to derive a universal truth about love.

    Some may say love is just an emotion while others may say it is a living and breathing creature. Songs and poems have been written about love for hundreds and thousands of years. Love has been around since the beginning of time, whether someone believes in the Big Bang or Adam and Eve. Without love, there wouldn’t be a world like it is known today. But with love, comes pain with it. Both William Shakespeare and Max Martin know and knew this. Both ingenious poets wrote love songs of pain and suffering as well as blossoming, newfound love. The eccentric ideal is both writers were born centuries apart. How could both know that love and pain work hand in hand when they were born 407 years apart? Love must never change then. Love survives and stays its original self through the hundreds and thousands of years it has been thriving.

  • Quest For Love

    848 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Zora Hurston’s novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, the centralized character, Janie Mae Crawford, embarks on a long quest to find the meaning of true love. Like many people, she begins her journey not knowing what love is. Janie encounters many obstacles in her quest for love. But what is true love and how does one know when they have found it? Thesis: Janie’s blind quest for love. It seems that Janie’s destiny is decided for her despite her idealistic and naïve view of love and marriage. Even though it appears that “her dream was dead”, she accepts her fate and “became a woman”, Hurston shows us that though suppressed at times Janie never gives up her dream (25). The symbolic use of the pear tree not only sets the bar high for Janie’s expectation of marriage and love as a partnership like the “bee [sinking] into the sanctum of a bloom” leading to the “ecstatic shiver of the tree from root to the tiniest branch” but also a need for personal fulfillment (11). Her journey to find herself begins under the pear tree but she had to travel through her marriage to the respectable, dependable Logan Killick, wind through her marriage to the showy Joe “Jody” Starks and end up with the love of her life Vergile “Tea Cake” Woods.

  • A Midsummer Night's Dream: he Course of True Love Never Did Run Smooth

    874 Words  | 2 Pages

    Shakespeare captured the idea that true love’s course never runs smooth extremely well in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and several pieces of literature in modern times follow suit to that idea. Modern authors write stories about people who are in love and have to move away from each other, ultimately causing the course of true love to not run smooth. The popular novel, The Fault in Our Stars, also follows this idea since the two lovers are separated due to their cancer diagnosis. Outside of literature, things like divorce and laws against same sex marriage cause the course of true love to not run smooth. Both in Shakespeare’s times and in modern day, “the course of true love never did run smooth”(28) is an idea that proves itself again and again.

  • Love Essay: Love: What Makes Us Human?

    945 Words  | 2 Pages

    Romantic love is the baring of the soul to another person and that person CHOOSING to be as open in return. Romantic love is like a garden full of African Violets, needing specific things in specific amounts to completely thrive, in this case, honesty, compassion, trust, and stability. While some girls are giddy with the idea of wearing a bulky white ball gown and dancing the night away with the man of their dreams, some fear the outcome. How can anyone know for sure they have found ‘the one’? Couples like John and Ann Betar have been married 84 years and make the idea of love such a promising one, each still as in love as the first night they met (Shah 1-2). Then, couples like my parents can make a romantic leary of love. After 17 years of marriage, the lack of functional communication left a rift in the marriage only fixed by divorce. High school heartbreak, although not as legally difficult, still wreaks havoc on the heart. Teenagers think they have found someone to be theirs forever, which seems ridiculous at such a young age, yet they still fall in head first. Hearts, unscathed from the past, are ripped apart when he breaks up over text or she is seen on a date not even a week after the breakup. Love, something men have fought wars over, leaves the same carnage on a battlefield as it does in a broken

  • Importance Of Running Hurdless

    Because of what I learned from hitting this “hurdle” in life, I have decided to make the most out of the life I have been given. Overcoming the adversity of losing a loved one has not only challenged me, but has given me a perspective and wisdom that most people are only able to learn through challenges like this one. Life is unpredictable. Like hurdles, life evokes fear, strength, and courage. Life is often like a race, everyone is forced to face their own obstacles, however, like Nelson Mandela once said, “Our greatest glory lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” Throughout life, everyone is bound to face their own set of hurdles, however, the important part is learning to get up, keep moving, and apply what was learned from the experience to overcoming the next

  • Being In Love Essay

    1919 Words  | 4 Pages

    Love in itself is a chance you need to be willing to take. There is no love without risk and even worse than risk, there is no love without loss. Everything in life is a risk, but risking to open yourself up and fully give yourself to someone can be the hardest of them all. It is courageous to love because falling in love can be hard. Relationships have the potential to either end well, or end horrifically, but the thing is, that’s the risk you have to be willing to take. The reason relationships are so complicated is because of the people in them. People make them challenging and complex. Who can tell you before a relationship starts if you are gonna be toxic, or gonna be part of something very special. The risk everybody takes on a daily basis with love, is a risk that can have a very giant reward, a big ring and a wedding. Some people are afraid to fall in love because they fear heartbreak, and I could say i’m that person. When I am in a relationship, I put in everything I have. I value all of the relationships I am apart of and I strive to make them better everyday. But sometimes I just need to face the world and realize that at some point, most of the relationships I have today will fail because people make mistakes. Heartbreak is inevitable, and that is okay. I will be okay. Heartbreak has a way of reminding us that we are in love, and that we do know how to love. The desire people have to make things last will force you to giving love another try. When you set all your reservations and fears aside, you will allow yourself to love and prosper in a relationship. Heartbreak in a relationship doesn’t just occur when you and your significant other break up, you feel heartbreak when someone you love passes away, you lose a friend you thought you would have forever and for many other reasons. Although heartbreak does suck, it is a part of the excitement of life. In relationships you are never supposed to know how
