Real Love
One of my all-time favorite songs is Real Love by Mary J. Blige. In it she details her quest for love, and describes the real love she has been searching for. I completely understand how she felt; as I search for real love. Through the process, I learned some valuable lessons; and gained wisdom on this quest. I want to use this post to share some things that I learned on this journey.

Be what you are searching for!
I always tell my friends, “You have to be a whole person before anyone can love you.” I know people who want to be in love so bad that they rush the process. They are not complete individuals and they haven’t discovered their true selves. They are messy and jacked up! In the bible it says, “Love is patient, love is kind” you need to master these before you get into a relationship. If you are frustrated and miserable, you can’t expect love that will be patient, and love that will be kind. The only love you receive is love that will be frustrated and miserable.

You go on date after date from: online dating, to blind dating, and dating out of your comfort zone. You still have those people who find it hard to believe that you are single. It’s hard to be open to finding the possibilities of love; when love hasn’t been kind to you. You get the scrubs, pigeons, and everything in between. It can be very easy to lose hope. Just remember, it will be worth the wait. I learned a long time ago that there are 7 billion people on this earth. So in other words, there are plenty of fish in the sea. There is someone for everyone. Just because it seems like you are going through hell trying to find love. There is someone out there for you. When you find that person: every tear, heartbreak, and let down will all be worth it. Continue to date, continue to make your heart free, and continue to take chances – you never know what you may

    It is difficult to empathize with a person if you have not experienced a single day in their lives. For example, how could a white person possibly say they understand what it is like to be black? However, that does not mean you cannot sympathize with that person and feel a sense of compassion for them. I feel like many people who were pro slavery lacked this term, which resulted in hatred and racism toward a group of people. The articles written by Mary Kay Ricks and Adam Goodheart portray a period where African Americans were inferior to Whites.…

    On the night of January 28, in 1985 in the 97th General Hospital at a United States Army base in Frankfurt, West Germany, is the birthplace of a man that would soon change the music world forever with his powerful array of lyrical meaning and word play. Also known as Jermaine Lamar Cole, J.

    Edwin Ortiz ENC 1101 Professor Francis 17 July 2016 Searching For Your Soul Mate Ever wonder when the day will come when you finally find the one you will call true love, my world, my everything, or soul mate? We go out with friends to parties, bars, clubs, and any social events that come up. We talk to many different people, some more than others and probably start some type of relationship, but later on see it was not what we were looking for, so you are back to being single and out on the hunt again. This is pretty common, nothing really different from the ordinary, but it is actually really different from what people did just a few decades ago.

    When it comes down to the songs that will play in the movie of my life, these songs would be dramatic. Every song would have a different meaning, and more attention, destruct and love in it than the last. There are certain songs that are more committed to a certain time or event that has happened. Some are due to it being the song we sang when at the time, some being the lyrics that stuck years later yet most are because of the feeling when the song is first heard. Going as far back that I can remember, most of the songs that I would hear would be on the car rides to school or camp.…
