Rose Colored Glasses
I live with rose colored glasses on, editing it all to make sure that they are my soul mate. well not really just someone i can share my love with. most of my friends know what they get themselves in to but with me it is the same story but a different girl. i bleed my heart out sharing the one thing i hold dear in this world. Its not holding you. its not telling you i love you. its not showing you how much you mean to me by imagining how beautiful that continental smile you have is and how one day ill be able to taste those lips and and hold your hands and fly away to that one place where no one can reach me. just you and you only,....... my heart. i taught i would sail away in this relation Ship with you but i guess there were too many people, so we sank. i never even imagined it could come to this. i loved you with all of me and expected the same back but you wanted to get it all and see if two is really better than one. you didn't have the decency to tell me so instead you hint it with that book that has a picture of your face. you told me he was a friend yet you held him like a lover. you told me it doesnt mean anything yet you were cooking for him. you told you would never lie yet you did it right infront of my face. you hurt me but you didnt just hurt me you slaughtered me. leaving me like the fool i was to love you. patronizing me telling me you love me and he is just a friend but what you dont realize is you might lie for friends but lieing to your boyfriend is what got us in to this situation. your cold hearted and still dont realize it. the high i had for you is gone instead im at the lowest point in my life, looking at this advil bottle like it will set me

    In the memoir the Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls her mother Rose Mary is characterized throughout the novel as an immature, neglectful, and very odd individual. While the family is in a real crunch for money Jeannette and Lauren eat a stick of butter because they're so hungry. When Rose Mary finds out she is furious and lists off reasons they needed to save the butter. When Jeannette tells her there's no bread to spread it on and no gas in the stove to make bread, Rose Mary’s defense is “We should have saved the margarine just in case the gas gets turned back on. Miracles do happen, you know”(Walls 69) This fight Rose Mary and Jeannette get into is senseless. Jeannette is about 6 and starving but her mother gets mad when she eats the butter, this leads the reader and Jeannette to think Rose Mary only wanted the butter for herself. Rose Mary wanting the butter for herself and not her children shows how selfish she is and how her children are not her top priority. Another instance where Rose Mary shows how she is selfish and indicates her children continuing to not be a top priority of hers is when she wants a piano. “Mom decided that we really needed a piano.” (Walls 52) Although her family is starving and her children have no the toys and raggedy old clothes, Rose Mary decides the family needs a piano, a selfish decision for her own benefits. When Rose Mary starts to teach Lori’s class at Battle Mountain, all the kids are acting up but rather than punish any of them she punishes Loir, “She had to punish someone, and she didn’t want to upset the other kids’ Lori said” (Walls 75) Although Lori says she wasn’t acting up her mother punishes her, which highlights her dishe other regard for her own children and cares more about what the other children think of her. Rose Mary cares what this class of elementary school kids think of her but she’s always telling her children not to care what others think of you. It’s also odd that she cares about these children’s opinion’s…

    "Okay. Thank you," I said. "Anytime. Love you," she said. "Love you too. Bye," I responded as I hung up. I unlocked the door and opened it. When I stepped out I noticed Val was standing in front of the door. "Why are you up," I asked. "You never bring you phone to the bathroom and when you do it freaks me out," he said. "Okay?" I said. He looked me in the eyes for a second and the said," do you really not want to get married?" "I...I don't know," I said. "Well it's either all in or all out. I'm not going to be in a relationship where your not 100% committed," he said. "Val," I said as tears formed in my eyes," just give me some time to think please." "No Jen if you aren't going to be committed, how will I know if you'll even show up for the wedding?" He said angrily. "You know what if you don't give me any choice in this, we're through," I said. "Here's your stupid ring. Now get your stuff and get out," I screamed throwing my ring at him. He went into my room and packed up all his stuff and walked out, slamming the door behind him. When I heard the door close, I knew it was over. I fell down and sobbed. A few seconds later I felt someone come hug me. I looked up to see Addison. I fell on her and cried…

    ANNA: I miss her so much it feels like… like-- um, like everything is bad. Everything feels bad and wrong and gross. It feels like my guts are all tied up in knots, and like my chest is caving in and exploding at the same time. I know that doesn’t make sense but I have so much love inside me and it's all fighting to get out-- but everything else I know about the situation is so heavy. It's so heavy and it hurts, and honestly it has taken so much effort to even leave the house today-- and now I'm here and I'm spilling all this on you and you probably don’t need to hear it all-- oh god, I’m sorry. I know you have your own problems and you don’t need mine on top of yours but here I am. Spilling all these dumb emotions everywhere-- and look at me, I’m still going. I can’t stop!

He notes, “to seek for a good human life is to seek for self-fulfillment.” The short story “The Glass Roses” by Alden Nowlan suggests throughout an individual’s pursuit of self-fulfillment, one may discover hardship, confusion and doubt; however it is a journey one must take in finding and accepting one’s true self. Through the character Stephen, the arduous journey to discovering oneself is apparent by the character’s environment, societal expectations, influences of associated people, and life-changing moments one encounters.…

    "To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in the casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be…

    The arrow that Cupid had fired at you ricocheted and sunk into my willing flesh. It was a one way relationship, with me loving you and you pushing me away. My life became a slideshow in my head as the days silently slipped by, my mind filled only with thoughts of you. Every morning I would walk alone amongst the grove of sycamore trees, living as if I were dead. Penned in my room throughout the day, I created an artificial night, where I spent countless hours staring into empty space. Why do you not love me like I love you? There is but one clear image in my mind, and that is the image of your face. The beautiful, flawless face that I have loved since the moment I laid my eyes upon you. Everyone else is but a foggy…

It is 6:30 pm and almost time to cut the cake at my party. My crush and also my best friend, Darin and I, ran off and found a secret hiding place. Under the table we were hiding with our two cups of Shirley Temple’s just talking about life. He was like my prince charming that I did not even think about yet. We snuggled close together under the table and we can see the footsteps pass as someone walked by the table. His green eyes with speckles of blue is an image I would never forget.

    Why did you leave?” I put my tea on the table and I cleaned my lips before answering him, “I was in Louisiana, I have to stay there for some reason.” “Why you didn't tell me? Why did you just leave?” he asked. “I had to do that Nathan. You won't understand.” “Then help me understand it. Explain it to me please. I wanna know what happened. Is it me? Did I do something wrong? You didn't have to leave. We could’ve fixed it Hailey.” he said very confused. “I had to leave without telling you Nathan, because I didn't want you to wait for me. I want you to have fun and enjoy your life without me.” I tried to explain. “Without you? How do you expect me to have fun and enjoy without you? You're my happiness Hailey don't you understand that?” “Well you have to learn how to live without me Nathan.” “What? Why? You're gonna leave again? And what? This time you're not coming back?” “You're right Nathan. Maybe this time I won't come back. You should find someone else that won't leave you.” Then I look at him and I saw in his eyes that I'm hurting him so much. “Find someone else? Is it that easy for you to say that? Or maybe because YOU found someone else” he said emphasizing ‘you.’ “No Nathan. Please calm down.” “Almost 3 years Hailey. You left for 3 years. No emails, no letters, no text messages, no calls, no nothing! You even changed your number. And now you're telling me that I should look for someone else?” He…

    There he was waiting for me at my table. I could see my best friend glaring him up and down. Walking up, I felt like a baby deer under his gaze. She stomped up to me up and yanked me to the side. “What is he do here?” she scowled. “He’s waiting for me. We just started dating,” I blushed. “Something is off about him. I don’t like you being together,” she looked softly towards me. “Well I want to give him at least a fair chance before I decide to call it quits,” I posted. “Fine, but don’t say I didn’t warn you,” she said as placing a gentle hand on my…
