Love vs. Lust
A human being has two major organs in their body, the heart and brain. Only one of them can actually feel love for something or someone. Love and lust can make you do crazy things in life and failure is one of them. When you are with someone and you think that it is real but then again you ask yourself is this reality or is it just something just to get by. Sometimes I would just like to go into the past and change everything from the beginning because if I knew what I know now then I would be better off as a person. Two years ago I was in a state of mind where I was the happiest I have ever been in my life all because of that one special someone. I talked to a guy through friends I talked to him every night on the phone before we met in person, which lasted about two weeks. We never talked about each other’s past relationships because it never mattered to both of us. Then when we met I automatically fell in love with him, we were exactly alike it was unbelievable. It was because of the days at the lake fishing, nights at his football games, and lazy sun burnt days after a day spent in my pool. Spending time with him was the best feeling in the world because

I failed to see the difference of love and lust for a year. This relationship taught me a lot and showed me how I could have been smarter with my choices. I’m sure that knowing about his previous relationships would have helped me know him more before I got this deep into a relationship. I am glad that I learned this early on in life and not experience this hurt later on, many controlling or manipulative relationships last far longer than they should because the person who is being controlled is in denial about anything being wrong. Back then, I thought it was good for me to have someone to lead me a good way, I was too naïve to see it wasn’t right until it was too

An example of one of these works is Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. It was originally published in 1597 and is arguably Shakespeare’s most known plays.…

    Jane and Bingley’s love however serves as a reminder that true love may not be hindered by pride or prejudice. However both Jane and Bingley have such similar qualities that they can almost be described together, this points to the fact that although they love each other so dearly, as all the way through the novel they have been portrayed as a potential couple, such love can be a bit dry and uneventful. Also Austen seems to give a more detailed account of Darcy’s and Elizabeth’s love than of Jane and Bingley’s relationship, as if to say that Elizabeth’s relationship with Mr Darcy is a lot closer to reality and far more entertaining.

    Michael McMillan once said ”, You can not start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one.” It is because I agree that we tend to continue to look back at the past instead of focusing on the present. I agree with Mr. McMillan. Mr. Mcmillan shows that we will never be able to contain or control our lives if we refuse to move on. In the book This Is Just My Face by Gabourey Sidibe, Mrs. Sidibe shows that no matter how hard we would like to erase the past.…

    Romeo and Juliet are no different in this, which can be especially seen with Juliet in her candidly sexual soliloquy as she wonders, “Oh, I have bought the mansion of a love, But not possessed it, and though I am sold, Not yet enjoyed. So tedious is this day As is the night before some festival To an impatient child that hath new robes And may not wear them.” (III. ii. 26-31) She is complaining that she has yet to experience the “joys” of a married relationship, and impatiently awaits Romeo and begs the night to come sooner so they can be together until morning.…

    We both took a course on cryptozoology, and the creatures that were believed to exist. I fell in love with the course more than any of my other classes. We made a vow at the end of college that if we both were not married by thirty five, we would spend the rest of our lives searching for our favorite mythical creature, Bigfoot. I think we both avoided marriage on purpose because we both knew what we wanted to do with our lives, and being married would hinder our search. So I guess I am exactly where I wanted to be.…

    Growing up, I was always surrounded by family and friends at all times. There was nothing to worry about but continue to be happy and live my life as it was going. As I began growing up, I got to understand more why people were put in your life and why you experienced different moments with different people. From this, I was starting to realize what life really is about. Being in a two-year relationship, then breaking up unpredictably taught me how to become independent of my own self, take care of myself, and have self-love before I want to take care of others and have a love for others.…
