I Love Nicole

Improved Essays
As I looked out into the crowd at my book signing, I saw two familiar faces. Those two faces inspired my newest book. My book is a story about a woman, brought up in the bible belt of America, who had her whole life together. She was leading a successful career, and about to marry the man who she had spent the past ten years with. She was fulfilling all the prophecies her mom had projected on to her. But suddenly she realized that those things were not what she wanted. She wanted the beautiful dread lock dawning woman she had ran the tri-city marathon next to. As I studied Ayanna and Nicole from afar, I thought about why I loved them both so much. The love I had for each of them is separate and different. I love Nicole because of all the memories we share, and Ayanna because of the love that she has for Nicole. …show more content…
They’re meant to be. But what about that guy Nicole left at the altar? Well since I am him, I can say I’m doing well. Of course, I did not become this way overnight. I struggled with the idea of not being with Nicole for five years, and I was bitter because of the predicament that she had put me in. But, how can you stay mad at somebody you love so much and for so long. Then we went through the whole debacle of Nicole trying to “merge” her love for Ayanna and her love for me. The love triangle that existed in her dreams was finally a reality. That flame blew out very quickly, like a lit candle in a rainstorm. But time went on, and after Nicole’s accident, I felt the need to move on. Not to run away,

Whether it is forced, a deceptive or authentic Love, it is still desired to feel the idea of the reputation of Love. The yearn of affection, reassurance, or even feeling wanted is humane and drives people to explore the different emotions it may cause.

Furthermore, love is multifaceted, and Hawthorne focuses on a different aspect of love within a relationship in each of his two stories. Although “The Birth-Mark” and “The Minister’s Black Veil” both contain elements of Puritan society, delineate the relationship between a man and his partner, and consider how far love can drive a person, each story examines a different kind of love that a man and a woman have for each other. Georgiana unconditionally loves Aylmer in the same way that Mr. Hooper unconditionally loves Elizabeth, but both of their respective partners, Aylmer and Elizabeth, conditionally love them and fixate upon a single, minute detail, the birthmark and the veil, which they perceive…
