Personal Narrative: My Amnesia Of A Dreamer

Improved Essays
I woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm clock going off. I reached over and turned it off, grabbing my glasses and putting them on. I looked to my right to see Gavin sound asleep. I smiled and decided to let him sleep in a bit. I pushed myself out of the bed and quietly grabbed clothes. I jumped in the shower and did my morning routine. After I was done, I walked into the kitchen and made Gavin and I some scrambled eggs and bacon. I put the food on plates when it was done cooking. I walked back into the bedroom and I was surprised that Gavin wasn't awake yet. I smirked and bent down to kiss his nose. When that didn't wake him, I pressed my lips against his. My smirk grew when I felt him deepen the kiss. We both pulled away after a few …show more content…
We both dug into our food and talked about yesterday. When we finished eating, I washed off the plates and stuck them in the dishwasher. Gavin went into the bathroom to get ready and I put on my shoes. I walked into the bedroom and tried to fix up my hair. I was greeted with a pair of arms being wrapped around my waist and a chin resting itself on my shoulder. I smiled and turned myself around in his arms. Gavin had a big smile on his face as he leaned his head down and pressed his lips against mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. We lost track of time as I ended up pushing Gavin against the wall and kissed him passionately. My phone went off and we both groaned. I pulled away and picked it up off of the dresser. Geoff had texted me telling me I better get to work. I stuffed my phone in my pocket and looked back at Gavin. "We gotta go to work or Geoff's gonna have our heads." I rolled my eyes and Gavin gave me a playful frown as followed me out to my …show more content…
Every bone in my body ached now. I wasn't mad at Gavin, I wasn't jealous. I was just a selfish prick and I needed a way to stop it. I pinched my left wrist to stop the thoughts and sat back down next to Gavin. Geoff gave a concerned look, but I shrugged it off. I looked down at the small red dots beginning to form over my scars from the pinching. Lindsay, who was sitting on the left of me, leaned towards me. "You okay Michael?" She was the only person, other than Gavin, who knew about my depression. I looked up at her and smiled, "Just peachy." She gave me a reassuring smile and sat upright in her chair. The waitress stepped up beside Barbara and Lindsay and began taking everyone's orders. I just decided to stick with my Coke and not get anything to eat. Gavin took note of this and placed his hand on my thigh. I jumped at his touch. Stop acting like an attention-seeking asshole, Michael. Gavin moved his hand from my thigh and placed it in my hand. He squeezed my hand and kissed my cheek. I could hear Barbara whisper

    The short stories “Lessons of Love” by Judith Ortiz Cofer and “The Skating Party” by Mena Summers emphasize the illusions of love and how it affects the main characters, of whom are impeded by their feelings in such a way that prevents them from understanding and processing the situation as they would have in any other circumstance. Both are blind to the egotistical agendas of their love interest until the conclusion, and regardless of such neither character regrets the situation or outcome. Even so, the characters experience wants and perform acts that they would normally not have succumbed to had they not been affected by love. In both stories the egotistical motives of the main love interest is revealed and yet in the moment, neither character…

    I couldn't agree more, sometimes I think to myself as well if I have any repressed memories that impact my personality. I never used to be so compulsive or expressive, but I think that has to do with a defense mechanism of mine. I know I have some repressed memories that have molded my personality to be more defensive at times, although I don't like that myself, I do feel it is a defense mechanism to be guarded for protection. I honestly did the same thing with the denial mechanism with my best friend during high school. I was in denial because of my friends passing just wasn't acceptable, and when people approached or confronted me, I pretended as though he was on a long vacation.…

    When I am dreaming, I sometimes am not sure if I am awake or dreaming, but when I am awake I know I am not dreaming. In dreams, I feel like I am not in control of what is happening, I am the observer. I sometimes know I am dreaming because I do things I would not normally do in real life. In dreams, things do not always make sense, like a movie skipping. In real life, this is not the case.…

    Dreams can sometimes feel so real and when they do; boy, it can be very scary. A few nights ago I was having a really bad dream - a nightmare you could say. I don't remember exactly what was happening in the dream but what I do recall is being aware that I was dreaming. That alone was very strange because I've never had a dream where I knew it wasn't real while it was happening. My dreams have always felt very real and I’ve always been helplessly trying to figure out an escape.…
