Personal connection and conclusion about what love is.

Posted on by

I think that love varies in different shape and sizes. Love doesn’t have to be your partner it could be your family, your dog, a sport or even an object. I haven’t really had a love experience with a partner. But I do love my family and friends very much. Without feeling loved or being in love I think that people would feel empty and lonely. Love is a necessity in life. My parents might not tell me they love me all the time, but i know everything they do for me and my brothers is because they love us. Our parents want us to be successful. Love isn’t  something someone could just use. It is valuable and people should treat it well when they have it. Love is different for everyone, for me it is to let people know they are wanted and for me to feel needed. Love can’t be described only guided. We can all give tips on how to flirt but at the end you just have to be yourself and nothing else because you will only be lying to yourself. It’s  all personal experiences and we can’t change how your love life is. It’s your own journey that’s what makes it love. You have to find it because it’s not a pre-written journal, you are writing your love story, no one else can. You know you have found real love when you and your loved one encounter a problem, situation or argument that you work through together to find a solution or resolution in which you both agree with. Or in a severe case, with death, illness or divorce, you and your loved one need to be able to help each other heal and recover from this situation. You need to grow together and find someone who makes you a better person who you can truly rely on in times of need. Love is perceived in every different possible way, but universally, ideally, the meaning of life is to find real love, it is to find the meaning of love.

Can one go crazy over love?

In the short story, “The Chaser” written by John Collier, a man by the name of Alan is desperately searching for love. Alan is in love with a girl that does not feel the same for him, therefore he goes to the old man’s shop where he sells potions. Alan decides to purchase a love potion. The old man knows that Alan will be back back for a poison to get rid of the love because it will be too strong. When Alan comes into the store looking for a “love potion” (paragraph 17) he doesn’t know that he is going to regret his decision afterwards. The old man tells Alan that he will be so sick of being loved that Alan will need to purchase a poison that will cleanse his life because “lives need cleansing sometimes (paragraph 9). The old man knows that once Alan’s dream girl will start to get extremely “jealous” (paragraph 26) and obsessed with him that he will get sick of her and want to get rid of love. Love is almost like a drug. People will go through extreme measure to find love because it is a feeling everyone wants to experience. Without love, people feel empty and feel the need to look for something else that could replace love to make them feel needed. But once love is found it’s not as great as one thinks. People overrate love. There is a certain point to where love is great, but once one is obsessively in love one will do anything to get rid of it.

The vow. N.p., n.d. Web.

 

In the movie The Vow directed by Michael Sucsy, a man named Leo and a woman named Paige are happily engaged and living a happy life together. One night as the couple are driving home, Paige unbuckles her belt to give Leo a kiss. As she leans over, a truck hits the back of the car and Paige flies out of the window. Losing the memory of her relationship with Leo, Paige gives Leo a chance to show her once again how in love they were. After Paige loses her memory she tries her hardest to “hold on to {his} heart” (last scene)  even though she doesn’t remember her relationship with Leo at all. Paige gives Leo a chance and doesn’t regret her decision at all. Although paige doesn’t remember her love with Leo she feels as she “can feel {her} remembering” (last scene) her memories with him. Love is inseparable. Once it is is found it is bound to be. Even if it takes extra measures to find or keep love it will be done. Although love can hurt one, people give it chances because it is one of the most amazing feelings anyone experiences.

Are you a good liar? Explain how you do it. OR do you know someone who is? Do you know of anyone who is good at “faking” it?

I think that I’m a good liar. Others may think otherwise, but I have gotten away with some pretty good lies, and most of the time I don’t get caught. When it comes to lying, you cannot think of one on the spot, unless it’s an easy white lie (in my opinion atleast). You have to make sure that your story makes sense and by doing that you have to go over it in your head a few times. The very few times I have gotten caught is when there was evidence or I was not prepared. So, get rid of the evidence and be ready. Now that you’ve gotten rid of the evidence, gone over it in your head few times and making sure it makes sense, it’s time to actually tell the lie. When it comes to telling a lie make sure you’re calm and do not laugh, which I’m pretty sure everyone knows but doesn’t do it anyways. When you’re lying to your parents, it’s very hard to get away with it, unless you keep denying it calmly and making sure you don’t have the “lying face” on. Your parents know you well, they will know when you’re lying. When you’re lying to a friend or an acquaintance just make sure to not mix the story up and you should be fine. But, to be completely honest, lying doesn’t fix your problems, it’ll only make them deeper. So when you’re mom asks you where you were or your friend asks to hangout and you’re tired just tell the truth, it’s much easier and probably won’t be as frustrating if they did find out you lied.
