Reflection Paper On Love

Decent Essays
Love is not something I have a lot of experience with. Throughout my high school years, I have only been in one relationship, but that relationship ended quickly because there was no real love involved. I thought love and relationships were all about having lust for another person. I never fell in love with anyone until I met Alex. I felt something that I have never felt before. As corny as it may sound, love really did feel as if I was floating across the clouds. My relationship with Alex has had it’s ups and downs and at one point we completely stopped talking to each other, but there was many situations that occurred before all that. Although Alex and I have not been in a relationship together, she still made me realize that love was more …show more content…
She was excited and said “yes”. We went to prom together with some friends and everything was going great. She had a great time, and so did I. After prom, we went to an after party. In the after party, we did not really talk to each other. We did our own thing and left it at that. After prom night, things started to decline. We did not talk as much and we also stopped interacting with each other until we went on a school field trip. We sat together through the whole bus ride to Six Flags and we started to talk more and it felt like things were going somewhere. Once again, after the trip we just stopped talking for a bit. I felt like she was leading me on or as if she only wanted to talk to me when she was lonely and had no one else to talk to. After a while on this back and forth show of affection, we graduated and went our separate ways in a sense and she got into a relationship with another …show more content…
There are a lot of factors in love. I learned that love can make you do crazy things for people and can make you act in different ways. Love can make you feel all kinds of emotions and can bring positivity and negativity in your life. Love can also bring jealousy, if you are inexperienced with love. I never loved someone so, I became possessive over her and it brought the worst in me. I realize that I get really jealous whenever I start catching feeling for someone. I understand that it is normal to feel jealous when you are in a relationship, but Alex and I were never in a relationship, yet I still felt jealous. I finally had love for someone, but since this was my first encounter with love, I did not know how to act. I felt every emotion that came with being in love with someone. I felt the positive emotion that came with love and I also felt the negative parts like heartbreak. This was definitely something to new to me and I want to work on it. I need to control myself when trying to get in a relationship and not try to control the person who I fall for. Jealousy is a factor in making a relationship work and I know that my jealousy is what turns most girls away from having any intimate relationship with me. My epiphany about love has definitely changed me as a person and I am now starting to grasp the idea of

    Afire Love The coffee stained papers waited under the pew, and Ed sat over them, lamenting the passing of the inspiration for the song, whose draft was perched under the seat beneath him.

    I believe love at first sight is not possible. When a person thinks that they've fallen in love at first sight, they are just in love with the idea or image of the person. The first thing a person sees is the looks, you can't see their personality. They don't hold a sign with everything about them on it. In "Romeo and Juliet" the lovers believed they were so in love that they even died together.…

Love is powerful – powerful enough to shatter the dirty habits a person bears. Desire – or lust – is reckless.…
