Does true love exist?


Today I woke up to be shocked by the news that Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo had split after 3 years of relationship. They were my favorite celebrity couple. I thought they would last a long time. It made me question whether true love was really out there.

Sure, every relationship starts very much the same way. The silence is finally broken when one tells that they love the other. It's mostly a boy who says it first. The love bombing phase starts. He does everything to make her fall for him and she finally accepts him. Everything seems to go "perfect". They idealize each other. They get into illusion that "love" is all you need for a relationship to work. That is the foolish assumption where all begins to fall apart. What relationship needs is respect and compatibility. Opposites may attract but only for a while. At first it's amusing to be with a person who is very different from you. Later, the spark of interest fades away when there are arguments and they just don't understand you because they are different.

"Love at first sight" rarely happens in a real lasting relationship. If someone is attracted to another person in a short period of time, within few days or even a week, it's the sign of "lust" or "infatuation". That too, will be gone when real situations or responsibilities arise. A person who keeps falling for the next one can never achieve someone who really loves him. The grass isn't necessarily greener on the other side. People who practice dishonesty will also be cheated on by another.

There's a lot of negativity about "love" as people tend to describe it as something that is merely a fantasy and has been generated by overly romanticized novels, stories and poems. People have their own views regarding whether one is capable of "true love". Despite seeing many failed relationships, I'd like to believe that people can really love each other truly. True love can happen when one isn't selfish and knows the other person fully yet is willing to look past their flaws. A relationship can last, what it needs it a lot of motivation to make it work and honesty. As much as there are stories of relationship splits, there are also success stories. You will find the right person at the right time.

P.S. I hope Jordin & Jason work it out :D <positivity>

Imaginative Representation on "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"

Wordsworth’s poem “I wandered Lonely as a Cloud” is a reflective poem in which he expresses the joy after taking pleasure of the beauty of the daffodils. He starts off as talking about the loneliness he faces and vows to remember the scene of daffodils again whenever he falls into sadness because they induce the feeling of happiness and rejoice in him. This poem was composed in the early 19 th century.  It is highly influenced by the Romanticism. This poem raises the imaginative issues such as human-nature relation, elevation of natural objects, reflective approach and sublimity/eternity. Man and nature are shown to be in harmony in the poem. Through the use of reverse personification, the poet transcends into feeling like a wandering cloud. In further description, we find the personification of daffodils as if they are humans who “dance” in the breeze. The concept of unity among the people and the terrestrial objects are found in the theory put forth by Von Schelgel. He says...

Emotive Function of Language in Lawrence’s “Spring Funeral”

“The Spring Funeral” is an excerpt taken from” The White Peacock”, the first novel of D.H Lawrence. The novel was written in 1906 but finally published in 1911 after three revisions. It is narrated in the first person by a character named Cyril Beardsall. The spring funeral takes place in the chapter 2 “The shadow in spring”. This particular section, is a pastoral elegy, that raises the issues propounded in Emotive Theory by I.A. Richards, such as valorization of nature, synasthesia, human sensibility and organicity. In the description of spring funeral, the writer like a painter, depicts the early spring season with the vibration of the non-human world, the birds like larks, thrush, lapwings and the black-legged lamb. All the animals seem to be intoxicated by the magnificent morning and feel the thrill. The natural scenes of hazels, sallow trees and pale wind-flowers portray the gloom. In Emotive theory by I.A. Richards, he gives emphasis on the nature and its effects in the life...

The Catwoman (Short Story)

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could get the person whom we love most? What if love was easy to get? What if we didn’t have to love someone secretly? I wish things would work out with a girl I love. She’s the definition of perfection. She’s my ultimate dream, which I see every time. She’s the catwoman. She’s not a superhero but she’s a super girl in my life. But I’m too shy to tell her. My friends tease me a lot. I tell them that I have the confidence to speak with her, but no, I really don’t.  I’d rather use my ninja skills to stalk her whenever I can. My pen rolls off the desk as I daydream about her. I am having an exam. Curiously, I’m done with it already, just on time. I hand over the answer sheets to the invigilator and walk out. I meet my friend, and I tell him my plans to wait for my crush to come out of the hall. We stand outside, from where we can see all the people coming out of hall. I’m fidgeting with my feet. I look around. I’m already feeling anxious before I see h...
