"True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart." -Honoré de Balzac
The world has taught me to love, but only when love is deserved. Love has broken so many people. I see it in my friend Miranda, a forbidden love due to the inability to except progress. . Destinee, a verbally abusive and bipolar relationship. People take the love they feel they deserve. If only they could see that they deserve better. I know what I deserve. I know how people should be treated in a relationship. I see perfect examples of it in my parents every day I wake up. I never thought two people from such similar yet different backgrounds could mesh together so perfectly. They’re in sync. My dad is goofy and supportive while my mom is headstrong and controlling. My parents level each other out and act like best friends. They’re a united front. One just as strong as the other. Don’t get me wrong, they fight just like every other mom and dad. But they always end up talking it out and cooling off. My parents are just as in love as the day they met. My dad actually used to tell me the story of how they fell in love as a bedtime fairy tale. They met at school and all it took was one weekend. Then their love just took flight. Friday was simple things like “What’s your favorite color?” , Saturday was all about getting to know opinions on intense topics, Sunday was dark history. Not everybody is born into a house with both parents and a white picket fence. But from the very start, she was his queen and he, her king. They 've seen love go wrong and they 've seen love succeed. We’re considered lucky because my sibling’s and I have parents that aren 't divorced. Everyone my age has to go back and forth from parent to parent. . I’m proud of my parents for beating the status quo. My mom and my dad both came from broken homes. But made a silent vow to have one marriage and to have that marriage last. Not everyone can be as lucky as my parents. You don’t always get to meet the love of your life in high school. They were both damaged and broken when they found each other. I guess high school has that effect on people, or maybe it’s just life in general. My dad kept my mom sane. He kept her from going off the deep end and made her feel safe from her past, hopeful about her present and excited for her future. Even if she was mad at him, she could never hold back a smile when she saw him. My dad was lost and close to giving up. He was in a bad place in his life. He was sweet, but confused and lost. Mom says he was the type of guy she always fell for and was hurt by. Certain things were just more important to them then she was. But he changed. He gave up everything for her. Slowly but surely. I think part of the reason my parents held on to

Warped tour is a giant all day concert that starts at 11:00 a.m. and doesn 't until around 8:00 p.m. It has at least 20 bands with 6 different stages. Someone is always singing. It 's mostly screamo, some rock and the occasional pop mix. I had decided to go with my main friends for this special occasion. There was four of us. Destinee was the quiet one, Haley was the one with a complicated and scary home life, Miranda was the loud and funny one and I was the outspoken and charming one. Dad always says I remind him of my mom when she was younger. Anyways, back to warped tour. It was July 30th and the heat was eating everyone alive. Falling in Reverse was up next, the true and living legends in the flesh. When my mom was a teenager she was obsessed with them. We have extremely similar taste in music. Some of the stuff my dad listens to is just mainstream rap and quite frankly, very annoying, so I stick with my mom’s

    These people are the most energetic, fun group I have seen. Lastly, I got to judge the scream contest. This is where the people signed up to go on stage and show everyone there best scary laugh. The crowd voted for this by chanting to each person and whoever got the loudest chant won. This also was fun to see everyone come together no matter who won, or did not win.…

    While we were there we had our hair redone because from the humidity it made it super frizzy! During the redo process I probably knocked my dad in the head 4 times with my crown. By time our redo was done we looked country and glitzy. Then we noticed we still had one hour and fourty-five minutes left we played Apples to Apples. We kept a really close eye one the time because we knew if we wanted good seats we would have to get there early.…

    Until I met letlive. The way the singer connected with his music was beautiful. At one point he was crying, he was laughing and then after the first song I swear he had us all crying or moving along to the music, It was beautiful. I learned from that specific concert that it isn’t okay to judge a band by a song. Just because one song isn't good, or sounds funny doesn't mean that their music doesn't mean anything.…

    Also, my friend told me about it, and he really wanted to go to the show but not by himself. Of course, I was game to go to the show with him. When I walked into Rick’s Café, it seemed like the same old Rick’s, but the tables were organized more for a show. My friends and I got good seats after I made them move multiple times because I wanted the best view of the stage. The show started a little late, but it was worth the way.…

    “Tobacco, coffee, alcohol, hashish, prussic acid, and strychnine are weak dilutions; the surest poison is love.” Love can be defined in many ways, but poison is a new one. Love is just as dangerous as coffee, prussic acid, and strychnine because they all have as extreme outcomes as love can have. Love and prussic acid are very different. They can be alike with the possible outcomes of an intense feeling.…
