Narrative Essay About My Mutual Friend

Improved Essays
Neba and I met at our mutual friend (yoni 's) house back in 2002. Neba was vacationing from London. My friend Samri and I went to yoni 's house during lunch time. Since I had to go back to school we didn 't stay that long. After we left, Samri said that Neba was checking me out and I didn 't think it was a big deal and that was it. Later, once we started dating, he found some pictures that we took together him standing next to me from our first acquaintance. I guess it was the gravity of love that pulled us together.
April 1st 2012, on one Lucky Sunday our paths have crossed for the second time again at Yoni 's son christening party. Oh, it was my birthday too. I was there with my brother, sister in-law, and nephew. Neba was there with his

We met on Thursday. We walked all the way to 13 street. We stopped in a local bar for drinks and some quick bites. We talked and talked for hours as if we 've known each other for a long time. I found it so easy being around him. Though I already told him that I don 't do long distance relationship, I kept talking and seeing him. He called the next day and insisted to meet up. I proposed Friday instead. My friend Selam and I went to D.C. to join him that Friday night after work. It was a beautiful night. We danced and talked. He got me a rose and walked me and Selam to the car. The next day I got a call from him asking if we can get together for dinner since it was his last day. We agreed to meet at Busboys & Poets in Shirlington. His friend David dropped him off. When he got off his friend 's car, I got off my car, went straight to him and held his hand. I realized that I was holding his hand, thought of pulling back and then I started replaying my favorite quote by Rumi that says close your eyes and fall in love. "Aida, close your eyes and fall in love, close your eyes and fall in love". We had a great time and those 4 hours felt like 4 minutes. Neba flew back the next day to London and came back within 2 months to see me. Though maintaining a long distance relationship is a huge commitment but our love is stronger than the mileages and distances between us. Here we are today planning our wedding and asking all of you to join us as we celebrate the beginning of our adventures together. When deciding on a location for our wedding, it seemed only natural to get married on the very beach because we both love

    Concerns have been raised in the 21st century about the young adult’s slowing transition into adulthood. Robin Henig discusses these concerns in her article “What is it About 20-Somethings?” by writing on the topic of emerging adulthood, a period before adulthood that sociologists believe may be a new distinct life stage. Henig addresses the idea that young people in America have put off the traditional milestones such as completing school, leaving home, becoming financially independent, marrying and having a child. More recently, technology and the use of social media have become popular and prevalent among young adults and children, a point Maria Konnikova brings up in her article “The Limits of Friendship.”…

    I asked, and not twenty minutes later I had learned all about him; that he, too, lived in Ridgefield, that he worked as a businessman, and much more. After that, I shared with him, and we got to talking for quite a while. An hour turned into two, time feeling meaningless, before we decided to take our conversation over to the nearest coffee house, the strong smell drifting up into our noses, and we stayed there talking until late at night. After that, I scribbled down my number for him to call, and he helped me get a cab home. On the ride to my house, I couldn't help but smile, thinking of James and…

    Friendship: a relationship of mutual affection between two or more people. True friendship is so loosely defined that even a dictionary definition is not truly correct, as a relationship of mutual affection between two or more people can relate to unfriendly situations that are both mutual, as well. Having true friendship and love are both defined through the eyes of the beholder, yet there are specific parts that make up each situation. In the novels The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien and Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Huston, friendship and romance are themes that constantly follow throughout both novels. In The Things They Carried, the narrator shares many different war stories with the reader, each of which features its…
