Narrative Essay About Love

Superior Essays
Love has always been a mystery to me. Not in the sense of love that comes from another person of the opposite gender but more so family & self love. These two types of love are my monster/creature in a scooby doo episode, Only difference is that my episode is sixteen years long with no clues left along the way. The definition of “love” is an intense feeling of deep affection. But there are many other definitions that others may classify love to be. Love is the person that I have identified but I still don 't know their true identity.
When I was a baby we made a big move from Philly to North carolina. Leaving all of my mom 's family and coming to my father 's hometown, Bethel. Which left a big disconnection between me and my mom 's side of

My dad and I were attached at the hip. Wherever he went, store, barbershop(Where he worked), outside to talk to one of his friends, I was right there hugging on to his leg. I never wanted him to leave me. I really looked up to my father. He was literally my heart, I couldn 't go a day without him.
My mother on the other hand felt as if she had made a mistake by marrying my father. He wasn 't what she thought he was by far. He didn 't treat her with any respect. He talked to her how he wanted to and never considered how she would feel about anything. He just didn 't know how to talk to her without raising his voice and saying disrespectful things. He never hit her but then again his words were like a physical slap in the face. As a child I couldn 't comprehend what was going on, didn 't know that my dad was treating my mom the way that he did. I didn 't know the true nature of my father because all he had ever shown me was love & compassion. But as I began to get older I got to know the real “Harvey”, I felt that my father robbed my sister, brother and I of a real childhood, didn

This caused us to began to bump heads 24/7.
All of those things combined together caused me to began to rebel against my father when I was a teenager and i began to do what I wanted to do. It was never nothing bad like smoking or drinking but if I wanted to go over a friends house or go to the movies and whatnot, I would ask mom and of course she would say yes but would always add on ”Ask your father” and instead of doing that I would just go against him and do it anyways because I knew his answer would have been no.
I felt that his opinion or what he had to say no longer mattered. With me rebelling against him this really caused a big strain in our relationship, and also caused us to argue. First it started off with him saying little things like “go ahead and do what you want and see what happens to you”, with me not responding then he started to say things like “Your not my daughter” and me responding with “I don 't care, I don 't want a father like you anyways” then he started to say outrageous things such as “Your fat and lazy, you 're not going to make it in life, I don 't know why you are still in my house” and Icouldn 't help but to say something back “I don 't care about you or nothing that you have to say about me. I wish you would just leave, we don 't need

    My mother and I did not share a typical mother/daughter relationship. There was a time when we would not even speak and years would pass before I would even see her again. However, I would always see her when I looked into the mirror, since I looked just like her. I would hear her laugh because our laughs were identical, and small details we shared would remind me of the relationship I was missing, the relationship I felt everyone took advantage of. During my senior year all hope of a possible reconciliation would be lost.…

    My personal Michigan hero is my father. For this essay I chose my father because all my life I have looked up to him, even when I was too young to realize it, because my dad has guided me through life, teaching me valuable life lessons and will always be there for me and my family.

    Two Moms Are Better Than One To outsiders looking in, my childhood portrayed itself to be relatively normal. I too viewed my childhood as being the same as most children my age. I did fairly well in school, had many friends, participated in family fun days, engaged in family discussion at the dinner table, among many other normal family traditions. It was not until I was nine years old and at a school function that I discovered that my idea of a “normal” family, and other people’s ideas of a “normal” family differed. My class had a family day where parents were invited to participate in lunch.…

    Adversity isn’t a word I became familiar with until I realized how different my life was from my peers. Since preschool I attended a private catholic school. Most of my classmates grew up much wealthier than I was, however this never really bothered me. I may have had less money, my grandparents may have had to help pay for my tuition, and I even struggled with severe anxiety, depression, and testing anxiety, yet I wouldn’t say that is where my adversity is derived from. My hardships and difficulties in life come from the lack of stability at home.…
