To Love or Not Love
Was it love or infatuation? The tears wouldn't stop flowing and the trip home is taking forever! Rachel is no spring chicken but the years have been kind to her. She has the body of an athlete and the face of a model.
Rachel Lewis is a 44 year old mocha colored single mother of two beautiful daughters, Megan and Anna. She works as a department store manager for the local store, Top Sport’s Apparel. For 10 years, Rachel’s main focus is on raising her babies and excelling on the job. Being single is the least of her concerns. Until she realizes that all her friends have significant others sending them flowers and picking them up for special occasions.
The boulder pounds her hard one night when she realizes how lonely and quiet the house will be without her daughters. In two days, Rachel will be free to fly high above her issues and enjoy life. Motherhood is a delight but mommy is in need of a gentleman’s touch and an attentive ear! The thought of a tall chocolate man with features to melt the coldest of hearts causes her to breakout in shivers down her spine. Rachel pinches herself and finishes preparing breakfast for the girls.
Oh what to do! Rachel doesn't have to work and the chores were done. The girls will not be home for another three hours and it is pizza night. Oh what to do! Bored and again feeling lonely, Rachel reached out for advice from her best friend Kali. The telephone ranged once.
Kali greets her with the usual, “What up, baby-girl? What’s up with you and yours?” We conversed for about twenty minutes before Rachel picked her brain. “So, as you know Kali, your girl hasn't been out on a date since the divorce. I need love ...
... middle of paper ...
...two spends every moment together and the late night walks on the beach is romantic.
Tonight is their last night and Derrick plans the perfect sight for a picnic lit by the moon. Rachel is elated and kisses him with such passion but regains control. She didn't want to long for someone who lived across the world from her nor regret her actions. They talked all night and held each other closely. Gazing at the sun rise seals it for Rachel and the two decides to walk away with just sweet memories. No goodbyes or lies to be told by either of them!
The departure is bitter sweet and the plane ride is silent. The tears roll down her cheeks and the sweet, sweet memories play in her thoughts. Rachel converses silently with God and trusts Him to guide her to true love, to her soul mate and friend. Will it be Mr. Derrick Johnston? Only God knows! But, Rachel is hopeful….
understand when I get love. I always want everything to be equal because in certain areas I don’t feel equal. Love is something I’ve felt that I could feel that balance on, but without it, I'm hurt beyond belief. When Friendship is not reciprocated it creates a burden of emotional stress. I get a strong sense of protection when a friendship is returned. I receive warmth when I have someone else tell me they love me. I get an aching sensation in my heart when I pour in love only to not receive it
I always thought that to be truly over someone you had fallen in love with that you either had to feel nothing at all towards them or have a strong sense of dislike for them. With Tyler neither of those emotions was working for me at all. What I hadn’t realized before was that there is a type of love beyond what we can imagine that is separate from current situations and feelings. When I met Tyler he had just begun playing guitar in my church’s praise band, in the moment I thought he was very cute
Love is merely an illusion. How many of you believe in love at first sight? How many of you believe in first love? Do you think true love really exists? Did you only fall in love once in your whole life time? How many of you have fallen in love for the first time, second time, third time and still not sure that you are going end your life with the fourth one you are living with now or not. Is there any guarantee you will not fall in love with the fifth person again? Isn’t it crazy when you try to
the main supreme lies from hell occurs regarding the term ‘making love;’ which in truth, the majority of people happen to persist in performing a ‘sex act’ and in reality has nothing whatsoever to do with love! For without a doubt, this assuming position exists as a disgrace to use lustful sex with God’s name of LOVE, appearing to exist in the same league. Unknowingly, countless people live and die under the false illusion of love, such as the story concerning my best friend Marcy; which died from
All human beings are the product of love. The first process of your beginning- the conception is a bye product of love. Two people loved each other and then two cells completely mingled with each other, rather lost their individuality to become one. This oneness is only possible through love. Love is the essence of life. Nothing is possible in this world without love. Once born, your first love is your mother. She has given you all she had in the form of life surviving energy- the milk. As a child
Homosexuality expresses a desire for the same respect, love, and commitment that is shared within heterosexual committed, relationships today. Through time, sexuality has been pulled back in forth, both with the government as well as with religion. The strict boundaries that are placed upon what homosexuals can and can not do are destroying their lives. There is a constant desire for acceptance, among those whom are against homosexual love, which decreases the availability for equal rights amongst
The presentation of love and its difficulties can be very different as is seen in Romeo and Juliet and the poems by Carol Ann Duffy. Carol Ann Duffy uses lots of different words to talk about love. The poem Valentine is a monologue and in the poem she says “I give you an onion” I think that she says this because love is like an onion and has many layers that you have to unpeel until you reach the centre. However, I think there is a more evil side and that she chose to use an onion, because when
When love is present it is what matters most, no obstacle is too big to overcome when hate does not exist. For instance, in an omnipotent perspective¬—through the eyes of religion—God had shown his eternal and unconditional love with no consequences before sin was created. There are many classes of love; a mother’s love, self-love, puppy love, everlasting love, love towards parents, and more. These vary to each relationship you have with others. Puppy love is something you experience similar to
Often, many portray romantic love as a beneficial and desired emotion because its experience can lead to prosperity. While observing love from the outside, only its sentimental aspects in relationships are apparent, such as a couple holding hands or . Therefore, those not experiencing love believe it is a picture-perfect emotion, creating its potent allure. However, although love appears devoid of conflict, love’s effect induces feelings of fear, anguish, and carelessness which consequently govern
Love What is love? I am constantly hearing this question often from others, I even ask myself this question daily. In our generation love is not really love. People are set to believe that love is all about the sex, affection, the happiness someone should offer, how much time they should offer us, and even the money. Love today is nothing the way it was before, people define love into many different categories, it is so hard to keep up with. I know that love is not about what someone must offer
When it comes to love, Meursault has an outlook that is very different from most. He believes that love “doesn 't mean anything but that [he] didn 't think” (35) he loved Marie. She becomes very sad by this and thinks that he doesn 't care about her at all. She doesn 't realize that Meursault is not like others, he has no views on the topic of love and does not label his feelings. Later on, Marie asks him if he will marry her. He replied that “it [doesn 't] make any difference to him and that [they]
Just as people exemplify love for their family, they also show love towards their friends and partner. The only difference is most people 's actions show the different meaning of the word love. For example, when people acquire best friends or friends that they are really close with, they let certain guards down in order to become close with them. This group of people usually does things together to show how much they love each other, such as getting gifts for another for birthdays, Christmas, and
Romantic Love: A Force for Good Victor Hugo once said, “The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.” Whether in Shakespeare’s tragic play about lovers doomed by fate, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare’s sonnet describing love, “Sonnet 116”, or O. Henry’s age old The Gift of the Magi, love motivates the characters and authors to make decisions that have a weighty impact on their lives. Throughout these works of literature
ability to love a non-humanoid being allows for technophiles to engage in personal relationships with machines. Recently, technophiles are a growing epidemic in Japan as a result of Japan’s growing pop culture. In Sherry Turkle’s, “Selections from Alone Together”, Barbara Fredrickson’s, “Selections from Love 2.0”, and Ethan Watters’, “The Mega-Marketing
Is Love a Choice or Feeling? The ideas, people, or objects of love may change, but love still remains constant. Some relationships fail from the start, while others take years to deteriorate. But there are some relationships that seem to never fail. The reason being is for choices. Love can be both, a choice and a feeling, depending on how one views it. Some view love as a choice to make the relationship work or choose to walk away from it. While others view it as an emotion that cannot be
