...Warrior of Love Have you ever been so in love? Every day there are butterflies on your stomach. Each and every day you dream of his face, how he looks, how perfect he is. His eyes that beguile you. His smile that makes your heart skip a beat. When he sings, it was all like an angelic lullaby. It’s like almost everything he does is perfection. Have you ever felt the rush, when he kisses you for the first time? When his lips say those three words that you’ve been fancying all your life, it’s ecstatic, right? I never knew the reason why I fell in love with him. It could be his brown eyes, his cute smile, his manly figure or his good voice. One day he just came and suddenly, all I know is I’m in love. Elated I was, indeed. It felt so perfect that I never thought if he’s feeling the same. I never knew if he’ll leave me. I never knew how long will he stay. Because it was forever in my eyes. All I see is him with me, infinitely. It was like a raging tornado. A tornado that could hit somewhere without a warning. An unexpected phenomenon that could be fatal. An occurrence that could happen instantly and leave a mark eternally. Once it stricken,in a snap, everything will be devastated. That is how I define it, after he left. My heart broke into fragments. Crushed, every single bit of it. Tears drowned me, pain distressed me. I don’t know how to perfectly describe the agony I felt. But I’m sure, it is the most damaging feeling I’ve felt in my life. When he left me for another girl...

Lane was very still and immobile and looking past the bank at the downed tree in the shallows and its ball of exposed roots going all directions and the tree’s cloud of branches all half in the water. The only other individual nearby was a dozen spaced tables away, by himself, standing upright. Looking at the torn-up hole in the ground there where the tree had gone over. It was still early yet and all the shadows wheeling right and shortening. The girl wore a thin old checked cotton shirt with pearl-colored snaps with the long sleeves down and always smelled very good and clean, like someone you could trust and care about even if you weren’t in love. Lane Dean had liked the smell of her right away. His mother called her down to earth and liked her, thought she was good people, you could tell—she made this evident in little ways....

...What does love even mean? It’s a word that I’ve heard and used all my life but it seems like nobody really has the same definition for it. It’s a simple four letter word so how come it’s so difficult to define and to measure and to understand. (1) Love is a powerful emotion, it’s a deep fire like passion inside of you that just can’t be controlled. (2) When you’re in love it’s one of the most exciting, rewarding, scariest things you could possibly do. (3) It hits you like a ton of bricks, like the air just got knocked out of your lungs, like the stinging feeling on your face on a cold winter day. It could possibly be one of the most bittersweet feelings that you experience in your life. It’s like a roller coaster full of ups and downs and turns left to right making you feel sick to your stomach but it’s not always the bad kind of sick feeling it could be the good kind when you’re overfilled with happiness and all you feel is butterflies. I mean I sure felt sick to my stomach whether it was because of those little beautiful butterflies that I shamefully miss so much or the awful heart rending feeling in my gut that brought me down to almost nothing making me feel so crushed and so empty. I really think to myself, how...

...An Infinite Love Blue bonnets and pacifiers. Dirty diapers and car seats. So not my cup of tea. I was just starting my life and had just moved away from home to start college. This was my time to have fun, to find myself; this was my time to shine. Life, though, seems to have its own set of plans laid out for us; it’s just not what we expect, and when that curve ball gets thrown, well it’s usually a doozy. Life sure laid one on me that January day when everything changed and not in the best possible way. So I was going to be a mom. That word just didn’t fit right; I wasn’t supposed to have kids, plus, I didn’t even want kids. In “Alone on the Hilltop”, John (Fire) Lame Deer, tells us of his rite of passage. He is a sixteen year old Sioux Indian boy confined to a sacred hole dug into the side of a hilltop called a vision pit. He is left alone and scared for four days and nights, with no food or water and only a few small tokens left with him for strength and guidance. Lame Deer has a brightly colored star quilt that his grandmother made, and forty pieces of her own flesh to help him be strong. He also has with him a ceremonial pipe to help ease his fears and communicate with the Waken Tanka or “Great Spirit” in the spirit world. Being alone with only his small tokens, the earth and night sky are all part of the path he must take to find his “calling”, to become a medicine man like his grandfather before him. This is his path to becoming a man. Rites of passage are different...

...bittersweet. There’s been, happy, many sad and depressing moments, angry moments and stressful ones too. After getting out of a six year relationship with a man I was deeply in love with and thought I was going to marry, I decided to put both feet on the ground and finally dedicate my time to myself rather than pursuing a relationship that everyone knew was never going to work out. I even knew it, but rather was in total denial. I decided that I had spent too many years in community college and trying to make everyone else around me happy, except myself. I took initiative in trying to look for a university to transfer to. I decided that I was going to take my professional life more seriously, finish my education, and satisfy my needs before everyone else’s. Never did I think that the last two years of my life were going to be the most painful and difficult of my whole short life. I was living in my own little world, where I was very comfortable with my surroundings until fate introduced me to reality. I went to community college right out of high school. I spent 5 years out of my life from community college to community college. I went to Orange Coast College, Santa Ana College, and Santiago Community College. Because I was in a relationship, my priority wasn’t college. I was really young and in love. My whole life revolved around his and his schedule without realizing I was only hurting myself, my academics and my future. I would drop classes, not pass them or would just stop...

Not apart of that man, But by any other name he‘d still Never be accepted, Only judged by what was in front, Not what was truly divine?” 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What is in a name?

It beat down at the ground so hard that all the roses in the front garden had, their leaves torn apart so now they looked like dark red smudges against the earthy ground that was beneath them.

...member who has never seen A Chorus Line before, I did not know what to expect. I knew the music slightly from hearing it on my Pandora radio station and from clips on YouTube but I had never seen the show completely put together. The show was exciting and fun to watch, and the moment the song “What I did for Love” started and the actors told me what they did for their love, I felt a deep connection with each and every actor on the stage. The song is at the end of the show, but the connections I felt with the characters lasted the entire span of the production. I enjoyed the show very much because the acting was extremely believable, the choreography told a story just as much as the acting did, and the music moved me and the actors...

However he started experiencing the diverse effects of racism when he got married to Desdemona, the daughter of a senator by the name Barbantio; what made people to insist that the marriage across the races was not the right thing. Other characters were not pleased with move of Othello to marry the senator’s daughter and resort to calling him names such as the moor, which indicated his race; they referred to him with such names so that they could remind him that he was a descendant of Africa. This fight which was launched against the minority groups within the play Othello later brings his marriage to a tragic end. The play Othello cannot be seen as being racist, but the characters within the play were racists while some were not (Stain, 1405). In the book, Lago is one character who is thought to be honest while in the reality, he is not what people think; he is completely villain. Lago throughout the play had planned to bring Othello down; and the audience actually understands that Lago appears to be good but he is not. Lago was a white who was a very bad character while Othello remains...

...LeBoeuf March 5, 2011 ENG 105 Waldron Now I Remember I've been thinking about love and all it entails. More specifically, what it means to be in love. My last relationship I was recently in, that just ended, lasted for three years and while it was drawing to an end, I have to say that in the scheme of things, there were more good times than bad. My ex taught me lessons about life, love, and myself that I will take with me to the grave. From him I've learned what kind of partner I want to be. I've learned how love can change people for the better. The lesson I'm in the process of learning is how to love myself enough to let go of something that's become easy and comfortable in order to pursue my ultimate happiness. And all in all if it is meant to be, then it will find its way. This relationship taught me to be selfless. While I still have my moments of loving someone in a romantic capacity taught me the joy resulting from actions as simple as cooking his favorite meal, rubbing his back, or buying his favorite cologne. I've never felt so much pride and strength as the moment he trusted me enough to allow me access to his emotions as he cried on my shoulder after a devastating loss in our life. It made me feel good to support him in his time of need the way he had supported me in the past with my grandma. It was those moments that I learned that love isn't what can you do for me type of deal. Love is something that has to be given 110%. It's a two-way street and should flow together...

...In the Bible many of the stories contain examples of how jealousy can affect a relationship. Jealousy never builds up or adds any positives, it only tears things down and destroys anything good in its path. The only thing that can heal what jealousy wreaks is God’s love and forgiveness. Jacob was jealous of Esau’s birthright and blessing, so he stole both. Rachel was jealous of Leah’s ability to bear children, so she became bitter and resentful to her own sister. Joseph’s brothers were jealous that he was their father’s favorite, so they plotted to kill him. Jealousy can tear families apart as early as relationships. Jacob was his mother’s favorite and the second born. While Esau was his father’s favorite and the firstborn. In Biblical time the firstborn received the birthright and blessing from the father, Jacob would have received less than his brother. Jacob was jealous of what Esau would receive, so he decided to trick him into giving up his birthright. But jealousy is not that easy to get rid of, Jacob was not satisfied with just his brother’s birthright he wanted more. This caused him to deceive his father and steal his brother’s blessing. After stealing both Esau’s birthright and blessing, he ran away. Even after all that was done to him, Esau displayed forgiveness and love that only comes from God. He...

...I always figured that my love would handle the pain. I was wrong, again. I have a terrible problem with confrontations with people that I love and respect. It becomes an issue that I never actually tell people how I feel. I do let my feelings be known, but if they are disregarded, as seems to be the case all the time, or laughed at, I never reveal them again. I was always leery of moving on with my life. I have always chaffed at being told what to do by anyone. It is this reason that I did not stay in the military, I think. I always felt that I do not tell other people what to do or how to live their lives, so I should be afforded that same courtesy. Not so, especially if you are in a relationship. I have felt more than a little uneasy with the significant differences in how things are done financially between me and my wife. She has a live for the moment attitude, and I try to look at the long view. I fell that I do not need anything that I make payments on anymore, especially after having to deal with bankruptcy. I do not want anything that I cannot pay for outright. This leads me into my current state of mind. I do remember all of the planning about getting a rental property, but I do not remember the details. What I remember the most was the day I was called and told that the paperwork was ready and I needed to sign for it. I felt trepidation. But I remember how elated my wife was and she was happy that we were going to start this. I was not so optimistic. But I buried...
