The stages are initiating, experimenting, intensifying, integrating, bonding, differentiating, circumscribing, stagnating, avoiding, and terminating. I can definitely relate some of these stages to my past relationships.…

    It was the year 2012, when I experienced a life-changing event, which led to my transition from childhood into adulthood. This event was my parent’s divorce. During this time I was scared and hurt, because my parents’ separation not only meant the parting of my parents-but parting from the life I’ve always known as a child. The separation moved at an almost mockingly lackadaisical pace. Months tediously dragged on, and even after the legal separation my life was never as it once was. I started to appreciate the people who were present in my life and how precious family stability is. The idea of losing my mother or father to divorce made me realize that this could have easily been a loss due to an illness. I grew to appreciate that I am lucky to have them in my life period. It was at this time that I seriously thought about working in health care; a field that aims to prolong human lives. This event of my childhood that some might even call traumatic, bettered me, and brought me into the adult world.…

The moment we met everything was alive. They would speak, and it was as if I could see the colors admitting from a beautiful symphony. The connection we had was strong enough to cut the tension in a room. The emotions were fresh, and understanding one another came as second nature. Though the afternoon when everything came tumbling down, my mind was racing trying to catch up with reality. Not knowing how to cope with the sudden change only made the chase of coming back a longer process. Contemplating on how in the beginning I was seeing symphonies, but now all I could…
