love
All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.
Do You Need Love?
Love is defined in the Oxford dictionary as; An intense feeling of deep affection. If you were to ask that question to any random person, their answer might be a little different. People’s own definition of love can be as unique and different as each other. One could think that love is simply an emotion, nothing more than a feeling. Another could say that love is putting others needs before yours. No matter who you ask, the real question is, who’s right and who’s wrong. Well to answer that question I will examine the emotional, chemical, and realistic aspects of love and come up with my own understanding/definition of love.

How I was Taught, Love
Chapter 1: Meeting refreshingly different guy in brutally numbing Psychology It was crazy and on paper probably insane and inconceivable to someone else; I never thought I could love someone right away only after the second day of meeting them and without even being innocently friends with them that long. It was funny because I had no intention of trying to have another boyfriend when I first started my first year of college, I was soo tired of the unecessary drama I had to deal with in high school, I was burned by so many guys in high schools also just made bad choices dating two bad guys in high school who ended up just screwing me over for invalid reasonings they created in their head. I just was so excited to be done with high school and soo thankful I did not have to deal with people who want to just put you down just to put you down just so they have something giggle at for the day and just because you irk them because you are different than them. I was happy to move on from some of the pain from relationships with guys I lived through in high school and just simply start focusing and cracking down in college and starting an exciting since it was a new environment no longer the same at times petty environment that is high school and onto a new chapter in my life. We ended up having Psychology 1o1 together. I was late coming in, it was soo embarassaing. So I tried to just sit down and basically disappear, especially from the guy. I for some reason even though I tried to pretend like I didn't, noticed him right away; he was dressed differently than everyone in the class and just had mannerisms and gave off this attitude like he was like, fuck everyone in here, I don't need these people, fuck this class kind of vibe. I for some reason am just naturally drawn to and instantly intrigued by people like that. He had in a five-panel bucket hat and a really decorative patterned button t-shirt which I thought was just loud enough but not too flashy or abnoxious and crisp looking, just how my favorite type of guys I am pretty damn into and how some of the coolest guys I ever met but never got the chance to date (you know what I'm talking about ladies) those guys...girls, you meet in high school?) dress! I never even really though he would ever talk, especially considering the attitude and the "fuck everyone, don't talk to me" demeanor he gave off. Our teacher was really sweet, but I could not stand her high pitched Valley girl voice and I looked over to him I could tell he was just so not down to be there at all and I just thought in my head damn he must be so annoyed about her voice, this must be bothering him so much, this is the most painful voice I have had to sit through hearing in my life. Towards the end of class, our pushy teacher wanted us to all make an attempt to interact with our classmates and form study groups, so at the end of class when there was people moving around the room talking to each other; since he was literally only the next desk column down from and two or one desk(s) away from me we both ended up talking to each other, and I just told him this sucks we have to share numbers and he was like, yea this sucks, I don't even want to talk to anyone or have no desire to associate with anyone in this class, I'm not going to form a study group. and I replied yea I don't want to form a study group, I don't think I am going to ask anyone else for their number either. He wrote down his number in my notebook, was thrilled in a way he seemed really interesting and it kinda felt like a blessing getting the crazy lucky-ass chance of getting his number when I didn't even think we would ever have a chance of sitting anywhere near each other at all the first day of class nor expecting us to really meet or talk the entire semester

Compatibility//Connection...
We are living in a world today where it is hard to find someone we connect with and are compatible with. People are so afraid to let someone in because of the fear of being hurt, choosing the wrong one, and looking stupid for someone. But then there are those times where it just happens and it feels so good that it happened so naturally that all of those fears you once had, are still there but their voices aren’t as loud. You sigh of relief because this feeling is new, so maybe you’ve never experienced it but it’s something you know you needed. With this thing comes the desire to protect it at all cost. No one and nothing are to touch this thing without major consequences and repercussions. Usually this occurs with babies. You as their protector have the urge to protect them from any and everything, no one was safe from your wrath if need be.

A Beautiful Love Story
I remember being in the 7th grade. A shy, quiet, and goofy 13 year old young girl. I did not like boys only because I was shy and I didn't like any attention they tried to give me. I remember being in class and there was a new student who came in and he was introduced to the class. He just moved in my hometown. All the girls in our class started to fall for him but he had his eyes on one particular girl. Yes, that girl was me. On the other hand, I was not interested because of course I didn't like boys. He told my best friend he wanted to talk to me and all I did was laugh and it just went in one ear and out the other ear. So now I know you're probably wondering, did I give him a chance? The answer is no. As the semester went by, later we was moving on to the 8th grade and he finally realized I was not worried about him and was not giving him no play. One day, I was walking through the cafeteria on my way to class and I noticed him and his friend was behind me and they were having a conversation. As I was walking, I heard him tell his friend "that's going to be my wife" and they started laughing. So, as we went to class, his friend was in the same class as me and when we entered into the classroom he asked me did I hear what his friend said. Even though I did, I told him no just so he could tell me anyway. So he ended up telling me and replied, "he said you're going to be his wife" and he burst out laughing. I started blushing and just shook my head. As the years went by, he was dating others and at the time I was just talking to others. At the end of our 10th grade year, I decided to give him a chance and we begin to talk as friends because he was seeing someone else but they was on bad terms. We started to get closer and closer as the years went by. Senior year was finally here and we was still friends. After we graduated in the year of 2005 we became even more closer and we started to hang out more. He ended up moving but he would still come visit me or come get me for the weekend to spend time with him. In the year of 2006, I got pregnant with my first baby boy. As months went by, stomach became bigger, I was very excited to be carrying his child. One weekend he came to get me for the weekend and I ended up going into early premature labor at 5 in a half months. Yes, that's right! I had him early. I ended up losing my baby at the age 19, in 2006 on Sept 26 and I remember it like it was yesterday. The pain, the hurt, the sadness, the depression, the lost for words, mind blown, shocked situation that I wouldn't wish on nobody. Doc came in the room and told me I should not get pregnant no more due to what my son did to my uterus. I had a disruptive uterus and they was scared for my life and even if I was to get pregnant again they was scared for my baby life. They didn't want me putting myself or the baby at risk because they was telling me it was a slight chance that me or my baby or both cold lose our life. So, I know you might be wondering, what happen to my guy. Yes he stood by my side through it all and he wanted another baby and he told me not to be worried about what the doctor say because if its meant to happen it will happen. So at the beginning of 2008 as the time passed by, things begin to get better and I was just trying to heal from the open womb of me losing my child. I tried not to think about pregnancy and I was still going back and forth to see my boyfriend because we had finally made it official in 2007. In March of 2008 we had got some good news. I found out I was pregnant with my second child and it was a girl. I had her on November 19 of 2008 and there was some slight complications, basically similar to what they had told me with my first pregnancy. They didn't want me risking myself at getting pregnant again and was telling me they didn't even know how my baby girl made it the way she was laying in me when they did my c-section. They recommended that I get on birth control or have a painless surgery to erupt my eggs. So I made an appointment because I didn't want to take a chance like I did. The day my of appointment, it was raining heavy and storming so I decided not to go and I rescheduled my appointment. Bet you're wondering did I go, the answer is no. I did not make it to that appointment neither. So as the years went by, I was not on no birth control or anything. In 2011 my high school best friend/boyfriend finally proposed to me and I said YES! We got married Oct 22 2011 in the back of my parents house. It was so beautiful and my colors were the colors of fall, burnt orange, brown, and cream. Both of our families came together to help us celebrate our special day. We was very excited that day and we went on our honeymoon and enjoyed ourselves. So months went by and one day my husband came to me and he asked me a question. He came to me and he asked, "why haven't you got pregnant yet?" and I was speechless at first and then as I open my mouth these words begin to flow and I replied, "there's a timing for everything babe". He looked at me and said yea you're right. So, after New Years, in the month of Jan, I started to get sick and I didn't come on my menstruation. My mom and a few more of my family members was in my city and they came over and I started to tell my sister what was going on and she asked if I needed to take a pregnancy test and of course I did. Found out I was pregnant and I couldn't believe it. I begin to cry because I knew this must have been the perfect time. I told my husband and he didn't believe it at first and I told him I took the test and he was very excited. We found out this one was a girl and when I tell yall this pregnancy went so smoothly with no complications at all and I was able to see what they was doing and I was able to hear my baby cry for the first time when they took her out because with my other 2 they put me to sleep. When I tell yall i was so overjoyed. I'm 33, and been married for 9 years and have 2 beautiful daughters thats 12 and 8 years old. I have a wonderful husband and father in my life and in their life. This is a story of a happy ending.

Pine and oak
June 17, 2019 He’s tall, about 6’2”, green eyes, and brown hair. He looked sophisticated and mature. He looked at me with intent, with love. I was not used to someone looking at me with so much appreciation and respect. I knew I liked him but right now I feel something new, like weights have been lifted off my shoulders. We have been friends for years, why now? Why me?

Whispering Willowbee
CHAPTER 1: Willow’s jaw dropped slightly as she walked up to the house, when she accepted the ad to become a “live in” nanny to the Marron family, she hadn’t expected the house to be so massive! She paused to take in her surroundings and evaluate her new home. To her left she saw a clearing that seemed to stretch about a mile away from the house and bordering that clearing was a thick wall of trees. To her right she saw what looked to be a stable that mimicked the grand demeanor of the house. Next to the stable house was a lake, its sparkled beautifully against the afternoon sun and sent a wave of relief over Willow as she slowly started to approach it.

Some advice
Years ago I realized that I have no chances with a person so dear to me. At first I thought it was in the smile, but that really wasn't true. It was in the things someone else said to me that day, it was explained to me the first second I heard it. Actually it was only two names I heard and I understood that there's no place for me in those spaces I once thought were kept for me by the people I loved and cared for them. And then the smile came in. I suddenly knew that it was over. No words, just a smile made me come to this conclusion that it's done. And although the other words echo everyday in my head for the last year and a half like a serenade on a beautiful summer day, it is hard to believe that it will ever come true. But it is true. Being called a specific word when you're even not that to them is something special and it got me hooked. For a long time. Probably even now while I'm writing this. Actually I'm sure of it that it's still here. Everything I wanted to do is to give love and no matter if I'm doing it (or at least trying) every day, it doesn't really come to life if it's not to that someone we hold close to us, no matter how distant they may be from you. A while back I realized that forcing something does not make it come closer to you, rather takes you further away from that. Learned that the hard way. I admit I messed up quite bad, even though it may not seem that way, but it's true. I do regret it, but at the same time I acknowledge it as this is my punishment for doing it in the first place. And the most hard part is that someone you held close for so long (I don't mean just in this lifetime but others before (here's where not everybody will see this as the truth, but those of you who know what I 'm talking about, know what I mean) doesn't recognize you anymore and that's where all that pain comes from. When you know exactly who they are but they don't see you as you were seen before. And if nothing else, in the end, if they're happy where they are in life right now, it makes me happy. I might not acknowledge it as happiness right now because it's not beside me as everybody expects (even I do or at least I did) it to be, telling me to be patient and that eventually it will come to pass my way in the exact living being..I don't know. I think they're just messing with my head at times, but if everybody sees the same thing....I don't know..I try to forget everything that was, but it's a little bit hard. Everybody who knows me, know that I don't stick around if there's nothing to be done about it and it doesn't have a great future ahead. But this, this "magic". I can't describe to you how I feel when I see it. It draws me in like a moth to a flame and I can't resist it. As much as I try to, I can't. Even though I haven't got a chance in the world, my hope never dies. As much as I try to get away from it, it keeps coming back, every time stronger and more persistent than the last time and every time I try to shake it off, it just keeps getting stronger than before. Like I said, if they're happy with where they are now, it makes me happy, even though it's not within my presence. But I've learned something that you can't give something to someone that you can't give it to yourself, let it be whatever, but it mostly it comes down to love.

She made a better man.
My name is David and I live in Muldrow, OK. I used to not believe in soulmates or fate and honestly didn't have faith or belief in anything. I have a past that I am ashamed of and never had a purpose or direction in life. I was dishonest and manipulative for most my life. But that would soon change when I met Sherry who instantly became the love of my life.

Twin flame
let me first start off by answering the simple question... what is a twin flame? You only have one Twinflame while you can have multiple soulmates. It is said that when you both come together it is like two perfect pieces of a soul finally joining together. You may meet before it is your time to shine together and this can cause conflicts and turmoil. You need to learn to respect the other and what they are experiencing. Usually you both need to learn a couple of life lessons before you can come together. It is extremely normal to meet at a certain point in your life and for things not to work out. This will depend on you and them, whether you both can overcome obstacles that have been set in your path. If it doesn’t initially happen, it might later on. Your Twinflame will most likely be someone from the opposite sex, but they can also be a sibling or even a best friend.
