Love Experience

Decent Essays
The set expectation for a romance novel is falling in love, then experiencing an uncontrollable force that tears the relationship apart; Naturally, I had a premeditated fear of love. I questioned if love even existed. But the moment I placed my head on his chest and heard his heartbeat syncopate with mine, I knew I fell in love. Through this experience, I learned that love is nothing to fear it should be welcomed with open arms. Love has helped me mature, think of someone other than myself, and most importantly, love has shown me what true happiness is.
There is a common misconception that you can be too young to know what love is when in reality, love is what made me come of age. Being in a relationship has shown me the importance of communication

Before falling in love or even knowing what love was I was caught up in my vanity and narcissism rather than caring for others and their emotions. Therefore, when I began to prioritize his feelings over mine, I knew I was deeply in love. This is extremely evident in the fact of having to move 180 miles away. It’s not that far in distance, but the fact that we are still so young and we used to be able to see each other every day is the hardest part. We were both torn apart by this news. Our emotions hit us like a boulder rolling 100 miles per hour; but I promised him, that I would remain faithful and do everything possible to make our relationship work. So far it has been as difficult as trying to sing a song without lyrics, but we have made it through this far, and I am not going anywhere. When something is weighing down on him I want him to confide in me, I want the emotion, I want the sadness, I want the happiness because that 's what I 'm here for, after all, that is what a real relationship is. Tears, headache, heartache, forgiveness, and unconditional love.I am here to let him know that everything is going to be okay and everything will always be okay as long as we are together. Of course, lust and love are two entirely different things. The difference is being in love with someone 's body or being in love with someone 's mind. I fell in love with the deep conversations we would have at 2 am …show more content…
Being diagnosed with a learning disability, I struggled to be as intelligent has everyone else, comparing myself with others, and putting myself down when I didn 't succeed; ultimately, I developed severe anxiety. If I could explain anxiety in any way, it would be like a transparent glass, seeing everyone out having fun, but you are stuck inside your own mind thinking about all the what-ifs that scare the hell out of you. With a soft embrace, and a warm caress, he came into my life and ridded my mind of all fear and anxiety because I felt safe; in his arms, I felt at home; As a matter of fact, He was the one thing in my life I was completely confident of. In addition, He stood by my side when I was at my worst, wiped my tears away when the depression hit, told me there was nothing to fear, that everything would be okay. He is there for me through thick and thin, and I never told him how much I appreciated that. Now that I live so far away from him I get the after-shock of anxiety that hits. When I hear that little “what if” voice in my head, I just sit there and think… I don’t have to know the future at this moment. I don’t have to plan anything out I have one thing for certain, and that’s my love. When I 'm down or feel unimportant, I think of his hands on my cheeks wiping every one of my worries away as if they were never even there. “Distance is just a test,” he said. “We weren 't meant to be so far apart, and that’s why

    In pieces of literature, romance is often used in order to create a plot in which one or more characters must follow a path of actions in order to find their true love. A character’s discovery of his or her true love may occur early on or later in their journey. An author may elongate or stress the “journey” in order to create a climax where the tension between two characters reach a peak. An example of such a technique used by an author is the novel Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton. Although it does not state it explicitly in the text, one could infer that through Mattie’s actions and words, she at first is hesitant to love Ethan.…

    It is very clear that, consciously or unconsciously, Brontë’s writings were affected by “Bluebeard”. The coincidence of rescue from family, with indirect help from the heroine herself is unignorable, and in addition to this is the inheritance of riches. [Paragraph?]Both heroines share their sudden fortunes with their family and themselves in a nearly identical manner. In “Bluebeard” “she found herself the owner of his great riches” (“Bluebeard”). And in Brontë’s Victorian version St. John casually mentions it to Jane, saying, “... merely to tell you that your uncle, Mr. Eyre of Madeira, is dead; and that he has left you all his property, and that you are now rich…”…

    Over the course of this semester I have read many pieces of literature, and the theme "love" has constantly come up. Inspiring writers both men and women have had their share of expressing their passionate feelings of love throughout history through poetry. Many writers are inspired by experiencing feelings of lust, passion, heartbreak, and lovesick. In Catullus's poems, he expresses his feelings with pure honesty and does not sugarcoat them, in which the book mentions that he "...conveys intense and often conflicting emotions" (940).…

    Robert Frost once said, “Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.” This quote encapsulates a common human longing: to feel loved, to be understood by someone else. Everyone has experienced this feeling at some point, and this stays true for Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein; or the Modern Prometheus. The desire for love is found in many of her characters. Characters either search for, have, or lose love, and they act and feel differently based on which experience they have.…

    When one thinks of romance novels, one might think of a middle aged woman, seated upwards in her bed beside her lamp on top of the nightstand, reading a romantic novel as her husband switches stations on the TV right beside her. This stereotype of romantic novels subordinates the American women who take enjoyment in them. Upon further study of romantic novels, the act of reading them can negatively impact the women who read them in more ways than one. The act of reading romantic novels leads to a yearning for more in life since the novels usually tell of a love story that provides the protagonist with a happy ending. This can lead to taking time away from the family circle, taking away from time with the family or spouse because of reading…

    What is love? Is it a feeling, or is it something much more than that? No one knows what love is or how to explain it, making it one of the most popular themes throughout the literary world. For example, in Ovid’s epic entitled “Metamorphoses,” he uses love many times as a recurring theme, and each time he uses it in a unique way. One of those being the story of Apollo and Daphne; where Cupid shot Apollo with his magic love arrow which caused Apollo to become entranced by the river nymph named Daphne.…

    In literature, love has always been a concept of great debate, although, what exactly is love? Pamela C. Regan, from Los Angeles University, explains that “…A person who experiences sexual desire for another individual, along with other emotional or psychological events, may characterize his or her state as one of ‘being in love…’” (Regan 139).
