...flicking her long black hair behind her shoulders. "There's got to be a couple of good men out there. All we need is one good man each. Is that too much to ask?" Stephanie lifted pained eyes to her roommate and best friend. "I don't think there's two good guys in this whole universe. I give up. I've had it. I'm not kissing any more toads." Courtney looked thoughtful, tapping her chin with her forefinger. "Maybe we've been looking in the wrong universe." Her friend was losing it big time. "What are you talking about?" Handsome Patrick had seemed so perfect, so wonderful. Until she'd caught him with Alyssa tonight, telling her the moon and stars shone only for her, that they were soulmates - the same pathetic lines he'd snared her with. Some soulmate! Jumping to her feet, Courtney paced in front of her. "What we need is a vacation away from the city to someplace totally different." "With totally different kinds of men." Despite herself, her interest was piqued. "We need men who are the opposite of the bozos we've been finding here. No more big shot...

...Dear Future Soulmate, I’m clingy, but I’ll never admit it. I’ll check my phone every 5 minutes to see if you’ve replied to something I’ve drafted numerous times in my head. I’ll get anxious when you don’t answer me back for a long time, and I’ll think to myself maybe you’ve had enough of me. Yet when your message finally comes, it doesn’t matter what you’ve said because the simple act of replying assures me that you’re still mine. At least, for the time being it will. I’ll get jealous a lot, but please don’t misconstrue it as me tying you down. I won’t get jealous because I want you all to myself, no. I want you to be able spend time with family, friends, and everyone else in between. I’ll get jealous because maybe, just maybe you’ll find something special in someone else, as you did with me. I’ll be weary that maybe you’ll look at someone just as how you look at me, or your heart will begin to wander somewhere else. I’m insecure, and it’s of no fault of your own. When I say something a little negative about myself, it’s not a cry for attention nor is it me wanting you to disagree with me. It’s me just being me. Before you, I’ll probably never imagine in a million years that you’d be mine. So by virtue of the fact that we’re together makes me even more insecure. But let me make something clear, I won’t be bagging on myself all the time. I know what talents I possess, what I excel in, the aspects in my physique that work in my favor, and so on. I’m just more vocal on the...

...Julio Castro Phil Mayfield English 100 11:45 October 22 2014 What Dreams May Come. Once true love makes its way into our hearts, and we know for sure who do we want to spend eternity with, there’s nothing that true love can’t overcome; the need to be with that special someone becomes essential, and in the movie What dreams may come, produced by the director Vincent Ward and written by Ron Bass, they shows us how strong the bond between two soul mates can be. It takes us on a journey where Chris Nielsen, played by Robin Williams, is willing to spend the rest of his life in hell, just to be able to hang with his wife for eternity. The movie begins with the encounter of the two soul mates, both who were spending their time on their sailboats, one of which had a red sail symbolizing seduction, love, sexuality, but also sacrifice and danger, the boat was owned by Annabella Sciorra who is played by Annie Nielsen , who happens to be Chris’ wife later on the movie. They strongly fall in love with each other and they had 2 children, Ian and Marie , played by Josh Paddock and Jessica Brooks Grant, both who died after being involved in a collision and the tragic event destroys Annabella and Chris’ life by leaving an empty space in their heart. The quietness of their house and the uncertainty of their future made Anabella have a mental breakdown and after going through a rough path, his husband (who is a doctor), dies in an car collision accident; while he was trying to save someone...

...A lot of high-school students would say they have found their soul mate. Most of those students who tell you so, have only known their “soulmate” for about a week or they have just had a very on-off type of relationship. I, however, am not like a typical high-school student. I have found my soulmate. His name is Sean. My life has changed so much since I met him my seventh grade year of school. If you were to tell me back then that I would be in this amazing relationship with him and we would have a beautiful daughter in high-school, I would not believe you. It just was not me to do those things. I have a big fear of being left, so I do not keep relationships very well and it was never my intention to get pregnant in high-school. I would never ever have thought this, I cannot stress this enough. Even though I continue to say that I would not picture my life like this, I would never ever want it to change. I have changed completely in the last year and I know that it is for the better. I not only changed for me, but for my daughter and...

...From the very beginning, when he found out that Wonwoo was his soulmate, he should've ignored it. He should have shrugged at the information and continued on with his life. Maybe he shouldn't have asked for the name of his soulmate at all — but then he wouldn't have met Minghao, and out of everything that had ever happened to him, Minghao was the highlight of it all. Minghao was the person who shone the brightest, even in the midst of darkness, and that was a strange sort of encouragement for Mingyu to continue on. Maybe that was why Mingyu was so insistent on finding his soulmate; if he was in a relationship with someone, he couldn't be thinking about Minghao. In all honesty, it was quite the opposite. Jihoon was a sort of rebound after Wonwoo,...

...Now, imagine the same scenario in the introduction with the girl at the bar. Let’s imagine there are two men interested in this woman. Guy one is a nice guy and is interested in a relationship. He sees her and thinks she is beautiful and wants to get to know her. Guy two sees her and thinks she is hot and is talking to his friends about how hot she is, only focusing on physical attractiveness. All he is curious about is what he is going to have to do to get her to go home with him. Guy two would walk up to the girl and say his cheesy pickup line or whatever hook he tries to use that he probably used on the last 4-5 attractive woman that same night. He would then do whatever he could do and say whatever he has to say, to get this girl to go...

...The Day My Life Changed Susan Cotton Eng 121 English Composition 1 Kristin DeMarr August 25, 2015 The Day My Life Changed This story is about a quiet choirgirl, Susan Cotton and a loud bad boy, Travis Cotton. The day these two met was a warm summer day in August 1994. This was my sophomore year in high school and the day I finally came out of my shell. I remember this day as if it was yesterday. I had just got back from a summer trip to Florida and was at the school for orientation. After I took care of my schedule, I decided to see who was hanging around. Outside was my friend Reannan and her friend Travis who invited me over to visit for a few. I went over to visit for a few minutes before I had to be home to finish getting ready for school. That is when Travis asked, “Do you want to sit down?” He then pushed Reannan to his other leg, offering me the lap she was sitting on. It was during our visit I realized this was going to be a memorable day. It was at that moment I was introduced to who would eventually become the love of my life! It took us nearly a year to become a couple even after being told we would not make it a year, we have been each other’s saviors for the last twenty- one years. In order to understand how my life changed, I am going to take you on a trip down memory lane. I was the quiet choirgirl who did no wrong. Travis was the loud bad boy who did everything wrong. I was raised by a Southern Baptist family and was sheltered from most worldly happenings...

...Over the past decade internet usage has rapidly grown in America. The development of search engines allow immediate access of information and growing online communities allow users to connect with others instantly. We are regularly exposed to advertisements regarding the convenience of the internet. Through television advertising, eHarmony encourages us to use the internet to form relationships, and ultimately narrow millions of possible matches down to a single soulmate. By analyzing the rhetoric of eHarmony’s commercial, I will deploy the appeals of pathos, logos and ethos, and explore whether online dating is a deceptive or an authentic approach to meeting a lifelong partner. The creators of eHarmony target a large audience in their commercial. Their purpose is to unite individuals with a shared desire to find a soulmate. By utilizing methods of pathos, eHarmony appeals to cultural desires, values and attitudes of the majority of American people. The commercial reaches out to viewers with uplifting and positive music, and portrays happy, beautiful people who found love seemingly instantly. Various stories are told by actors describing how easy it was to find their perfect match with the help of eHarmony. The commercial instils in viewers’ minds that their chances of connecting with people will be maximized just as successfully as it was...

...that I would never be enough. That’s the thing about loving those who are unavailable, you have everything to give them and they have nothing to give in return. You’re never fully satisfied and you’re always overwhelmed. The entire ordeal is just a daydream, and you’re left stuck in this limbo, knowing it can’t last and wanting it to be your forever. I used to believe in soulmates. I thought that everyone had their “person” and everyone was guaranteed a happy ending. However, I’ve come to realize that this is not true. Relationships require more than the perfect alignment of planets and stars. People often hold on to the idea that love will always conquer all, but it’s not that simple. This is a cheap idea coined by optimists and it’s a foolish mindset to hold onto. There are some cases where simply loving someone isn’t enough. It may feel as if nothing you do will seem like it’s enough and it’s probably because it just isn’t. Not all relationships are meant to work out. I do, however, think each of us have a series of paths we inadvertently choose from. This is something Jim taught me. Was he a potential soulmate? Maybe, but is he my only one? No. I don’t think he is my happiest path and I don’t think I was his either....

...IS DESTINY AT WORK? Do you believe in destiny? There are some people believe, some are not. If you will ask me what I am talking about, well, I just say, it’s not only about Mr./Ms. Right. But what’s the real meaning of destiny? According to Mr. Webster, destiny refers to a predetermined course of events. It is inevitable and unchangeable. Meaning, it is an event that will inevitably happen in the future. No one knows the future, but I do believe that God already knows what will happen in the future. There’s always a purpose behind it. There is a saying that destiny is something people invented to escape in the reality why is it happening to them, they also said that, it is a result of our choice—a free will to choose what path we want to take. It’s also true that what you can conceive, you can achieve. It is just a power of mind, but we must do our part. All of these statements are correct. But it doesn’t mean that destiny isn’t working. People have their own choice but they must do their part, an effort, to achieve their dreams. Sometimes, dream come true, others are not. Sometimes, in our life, we felt unsatisfied, and our effort wasn’t enough to achieve our goal, that means, there is something better for us. That’s what I am telling, if the results of our choice or the path we chose is not good or meant for us, then, it will lead us to another. That is destiny. But all you have to do is to accept the fact that it was happen for a purpose if there’s a thing that you...

...love jones A Videotape Analysis Paper New Line Cinema’s romantic comedy love jones by Theodore Witcher examines the battle of the sexes by asking (1) whether the third time is, indeed, a charm and (2) can your soulmate of the opposite sex be found, and if so, can the faith, and love between you move mountains? Struggling photographer Nina Mosley (Nia Long) and struggling writer Darius Lovehall (Larenz Tate) have a lot in common, but they aren’t exactly prime candidates for a serious affair. The consummate ladies man, Darius’ silky smooth presentation promises more sell than substance. And Nina’s recently jilted heart isn’t looking for anymore of love’s kind of trouble. love jones begins with Nina and her good girlfriend Josie Nichols (Lisa Nicole Carson) packing up what’s left of Nina’s disappointing relationship. Fearful that the scars left from this failed romance may be too deep for her to heal, Josie takes her to a night-time poetry-slam at the Sanctuary, where she encounters Darius for the first time. The Sanctuary is the local haven where poetry is the prime draw, and a favorite night spot for Darius and his friends Savon Garrison (Isaiah Washington), Eddie Coles (Leonard Roberts), Sheila Downes (Bernadette Clark, and Hollywood (Bill Bellamy). “The romance dies between couples,” we overhear Darius telling his friends from his intellectual set, “because they’ve (people) given up on the possibility of it.” In an awkward introduction at the bar, Nina catches...
