Heartbroken

July 23, 2011
There I was. Standing there. Watching him with that other girl. I wanted to runaway and cry my eyes out, but as always, I was being strong. Every night, all I think about is him and when the sun shines in his eyes, they sparkle like the blue sea. The way his hair just falls in the right place makes me love him even more. I always asked God “Why did he choose her? What’s wrong with me? Am I not pretty enough?” These thoughts just kept coming up in my head.

I saw him again with that girl. This broke my heart even more. The more I saw him with her, the more my heart hurt. Every Time they hugged or kissed, I still wanted to runaway and cry. His eyes still sparkled like the blue sea. His hair still fell in place perfectly. He was the definition of perfect. He was smart, nice, funny, and charming. There was nothing else I could do to get him back. He was madly in love with her. I felt useless. I felt unwanted. I felt unloved.



This was her last journal entry. Unfortunately, she had killed herself. Her name shall be kept a secret, but in the end, he loved her just as much as she loved him. The reason why he “loved” another girl was to make this girl love him even more.

Marry me

Marry me. Two simple words that can affect your whole life. What do these two words mean exactly? Well marry means a promise, a vow, to promise or vow allowing to be with that one special person forever. This song or story  is about a man who is falling in love with this one girl and wants to marry her everyday because he wants to be with her everyday. He sings how much he loves her and cares for her. Personally, I think that it would be absolutely charming and adorable if your boyfriend or soon-to-be husband would sing that to you. What song makes your heart melt?

Crazy Love

Author’s note- This essay is about a book, Crazy Beautiful, compared to the fairytale Beauty and the Beast. It talks about the meaning and message through both story and fairytale.
 

He is considered crazy. People think she’s beautiful. Crazy beautiful by Lauren Baratz-Logsted is an intriguing book about relationships from our point of view. Lucius, one of the main characters, lost his arms from an explosion made by him who thought no one would ever love him.  When he first entered his new school, all eyes were on him because he had hooks instead of hands. The only person that thought Lucius wasn’t insane was Aurora. This book helps us realize that looks doesn’t matter in a relationship, the heart is most important.

Turned beastly from an enchantress: the only way to break the spell is to learn to love. Not only does Prince Adam need to learn to how to love, but he is also has a timer to do so. As soon as the last pedal from the enchanted rose falls to the ground, Prince Adam will remain a beast forever. Belle, a girl from a small French town, is dissatisfied with her life. Belle’s father, Maurice, causes Prince Adam and Belle to meet. As they slowly start spending time together, they start to realize that they are falling in love. Beauty and the Beast is a magical tale that relates in many ways to Crazy Beautiful. Both including the same message: the heart of a person matters the most.

Aurora and Belle both face difficulties. Aurora’s mother died before she could even start to think about her college choices. Never wanting to go to a new school, Aurora now has to move not knowing she will find her love there. Similarly, Belle is born with a strict father, Maurice, and is banned to leave the house. Maurice doesn’t realize the next move he’ll make will put Belle and the love of her life together. Belle’s heart fell for a beast that no one cared for: Aurora’s heart stopped for a guy that the school thought was insane. Both girls saw the inner beauty to the two people that were called crazy.  

Lucius knew that his new school wouldn’t be so welcoming. The explosion that occurred his arms to be blown off caused the teasing. Everyday Lucius watched life pass as many others would make fun of him. Aurora gave him this chance. Lucius fell in love with her the way her long black hair complimented her face, made him mad for her. No one should ever feel unsafe or be bullied anywhere. I for one have never had to experience something like this. About a quarter of high school students were bullied at least once during the 2008-2009 school year, and about seven percent were bullied online by other students according to http://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/high-school-notes/2011/08/24/bullying-affects-a-quarter-of-high-schools-students.  It is unreal how so many teens are this cruel to their classmates. A more fairy tale type version of Lucius would be Prince Adam and how he was cursed by an enchantress. No one wished to be around this beast, besides a young girl named Belle. When Prince Adam met this young lady, it was as if he were dreaming an unreal dream. This beast was madly in love with Belle.

No matter what, personality and the heart are most important in a relationship not the appearance of the other person. Lucius and Aurora. Belle and Adam. No one wants them to be together, but that doesn’t matter to them. That is true love. Nothing can break them apart. Whether he is crazy, or she beautiful, everything works out at the end.
