As I lay on the side of a pothole filled road, leaking through my torn Kevlar jacket. I graze my neck with my index finger. Then run my finger across a slit running across my neck from the right side of my carbon fiber helmet to my left shoulder. I imagine a better place. Maybe dinner tonight with my pretty lady and some deep dish sausage and onion pizza. I see Frank Sinatra with pulled back brown hair, a top hat and a black suit with a red bow tie standing on a stage. He starts singing, "Come Fly with Me".
My first love story may not be like the typical Romeo and Juliet, but hey to say the least it is a love story and "MY" love story. Now, I have never had a girlfriend. Until I met her at the age of sixteen.
She was an alright little darling, about a seven on a scale of one to ten. She was smart, skinny, and had a moderate look in the daylight. Maybe if you saw her at night after a few cocktails she would look better. I could have asked the old man in the clouds for better, but she would be just right. Sadowski 2
We met in Illinois near a hotel 8, strip club filled town called Rockford. The sight of crackheads on each corner improved her attractive level significantly. She was a pale skinned blonde girl from, Ohio, with a tattoo of the American flag across her wrist, about six inches in length. After small talk she gave me her phone number. Joy rushed through my body, I finally felt happy for once.
We met the next day for about fifteen minutes. She drove over
“For there was never a story more of woe/ Than this of Juliet and her Romeo” (Shakespeare V, III, 309-310). These words spoken by the Prince of Verona prove in itself that there isn’t a love story anything like Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is by far the best love story because of all the different types of love that are present. There are many different forms of love in the play but, the ones that show the most are unrequited love, friendship and romantic love.

Facing death at any age is difficult, but for Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and John Sullivan, it came early, resulting in two essays retelling their experience. In their accounts of these situations, the author can see they both want to emphasise that death can come in very unexpected situations. To My One Love, by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, begins on page 17 of 50 Essays by Samuel Cohen. In her essay, set in present day, she has flashbacks to her relationship with a boy “from the wrong side of town” named Nnamdi. They were in a loving relationship against their peers’ wishes. When it came time for them to separate due to education in separate locations, they had ended the relationship, but not before Nnamdi had promised that them
The journey that Richard and Mildred Loving took is important for history and for the future of civil rights in the United States. I recently watched the documentary The Loving Story and enjoyed the footage, pictures, and interviews of everyone involved in the Loving v. Virginia case. The documentary addressed the issue of interracial marriage in Virginia in 1967.
The only true love story which William Shakespeare wrote was the epic and tragic love story, Romeo and Juliet and according to history was his first play and deserves to be acclaimed as magnificent. Within the lines of Romeo and Juliet, there is an innocent and youthful spirit coupled with hope, despair, loyalty, virtuousness and the misguided thoughts of perfection and the end resulted in death, with no true meaning due to the misguided and misdirected affections of two young lovers who ultimately were the pawns of a family feud. Whenever a tragedy occurs, it is human nature for people to know what went wrong, where lies the problem and looks to the main characters trying to find fault in why it went awry. Shakespeare is not that simple and leaves one to wonder.
How much power does love have over a person? In A Tale of Two Cities, love has a strong hold on many of the characters including: Mr. Carton, Dr. Manette, and Mrs. Defarge. All of these people deal with their strong love for others in different ways. Carton sacrifices himself, Manette helps his daughter out, and Mrs. Defarge wants revenge on many people. The power of love can redeem oneself or redeem others which is shown by how characters in A Tale of Two Cities interact with one another.
Somehow adulthood turned out to be harder than Doug anticipated, a lot harder, as his fears of possibly not reaching his goals within a year's timeframe could ruin his life forever. Furthermore, the thing most that ruined him, was society in general. Surely, at times, Doug didn't like the way society worked in his favor. Therefore, he would carry himself as unique as can be, with how he dressed, spoke, and viewed life.
Well a few years after leaving the O’Jays my new group Dunn & Bruce Street has a new record released. Suddenly, I am receiving multiple calls from Maxine to please come to Philly. I finally go and upon arrival at her house, she greets me with a different atmosphere. Her apartment is candlelit and smells of good food on the stove saturated the room; never had it like this before. Maxine has run a bath for me and invites me to just lie in bed for serving. She has the radio on and to my delight, our song plays 3 times in an hour representing high rotation.
The phone line was ringing in slow motion. I heard a calm voice come across the other line saying, “9-1-1, what’s your emergency?” My heart was racing; I never thought I would have to answer this question. This was my first Speech and Debate travel tournament and I was excited to see what the outcome would be. On the flight to Las Vegas I had prepared myself for what seemed like everything; that is, everything related to the topic we would be debating. When I woke up on the morning of the first day of the tournament I was a bundle of nerves. I could not stop talking, I could not stop pacing, I could not stop my voice from quivering, I could not stop the frantic thoughts, and I could not stop thinking I would be a disappointment.
Like it was yesterday I remember my first vacation on a cruise. My Dad and I went on a three- day long cruise to The Bahamas. I had never been on a cruise, so it was a new experience for me. We needed to be in Tampa for our departure, so we drove the two hours from Orlando, Florida to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. My Dad and I used this time to talk, make plans for the trip and think about our upcoming adventures on the cruise.
Love is difficult to define, difficult to measure, and difficult to understand. Love is what great writers write about, great singers sing about, and great philosophers ponder. Love is a powerful emotion, for which there is no wrong definition, for it suits each and every person differently. Whether love is between family, friends, or lovers, it is an overwhelming emotion that can be experienced in many different ways.
They say it is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all. Those words are not comforting to me. But, I love you Deborah, he says as we sit on the couch in my basement, his voice shaky, and uncertain. He looks into my eyes as if pleading, no, begging for forgiveness. I don't recognize these eyes that once provided me with happiness, security, and comfort. These eyes used to reassure me that indeed he did --used to love me. It hurts to look into them; I turn away.
I met her two years ago and we did not have much to say at that time. Little did I know that she would later steal my heart and become an intimate part of my life. As the saying goes "there is someone for anyone at any time in this life" and I was about to find out that this saying was so true. I have had a wall built around me and my defense was as a stronghold to protect myself from all the relationships that have come and gone over the years. I thought that I was meant to be alone in this old life and happiness was forever gone from me. This wonderful woman I am speaking of is Mary Doe, and the joy she has given me has revived my hope and faith that I may have finally found love and peace within. She has made me feel like I am a child
Have you ever felt love, lost it, or been hurt from it? Well, this is my story about “love”. When I was a young boy I had many girlfriends, but I was young I didn’t know why I had a girlfriend I just wanted one. I was never really good with the ladies, and my relationships didn’t last very long because, I was a kid. I didn’t grasp the whole concept of love until I laid eyes on, Halie Brooke Carter in middle school.
Having a first love can change your life for the better in so many ways. My first love did that and much more. The best part of it I didn’t expect any of it. The first time I was introduced to her I was working at a place called smoothie king. I remember her walking in she was stunning basically, breath taking. I've never seen anyone as gorgeous as her. When she first walked in the first thing I noticed was her long slick hair and a smile of an angel. Her eyes where amazing as a result I would just get lost in them. The crazy part was I've never felt that way for anyone else. I would just get this pulsing rushing feeling throughout my whole body. If someone could actually give me that feeling I knew they were precious. So, I started to talk to her more and I really felt this strong connection forming between us. The more we hanged out the more my life became great. Just being around her and the things, we did I felt my life heading in a direction that was so perfect. Having that feeling that someone appreciates you was so valuable to me. I started to see myself through someone else's eyes wondering what I could do to be a better person. That’s exactly what I did. I saw myself being more grateful and understanding. There were also things I've always wanted to do in my life but I could never do because I was either unhappy or didn’t have someone to do it with therefore with her I was able to do all of it. She really did change my life for the better and I can't thank her enough.
