The short story “User Friendly” features a boy named Kevin who’s computer falls in love with him. “Selfish” by PNB Rock, PNB writes about The story shows that love hurts, and to resemble love hurts I picked the song Selfish by PNB Rock. The artist repeats these lines, “I want you all to myself/ You don't need nobody else/ I want you all to myself/ Because I'm selfish yea” (Lines ). These are the lyrics we are focusing on because the guy is getting super attached . He says he wants her all to himself and that she doesn't need anyone else. This just shows later on when it doesn't work he's gonna be heartbroken and then it shows love just hurts at the end of everything. People are getting tired of the same thing and when she does he will no longer be selfish he’ll be broken.

    “Love is so elusive that it can seem like the quest to find it will never end.” —Anonymous. As humans, we know it exists because our surroundings displays it, but although the journey may be gloomy, we fall into the temptation of scrutinizing every corner of the earth in search of Love until one has reached a sense of contentment of what Love is about. Whether it is forced, a deceptive or authentic Love, it is still desired to feel the idea of the reputation of Love. The yearn of affection, reassurance, or even feeling wanted is humane and drives people to explore the different emotions it may cause. Zora Neale Hurston exhibits these examples in her novel Their Eyes Were Watching God.…
