Love at First Sight

An Essay about Building Love

Love is often described as a tricky part of life in all those movies.  In life I think love can be a hard thing but it is not nearly as hard as the movies make it seem love we don’t need to save the world.  A majority of the time people may think that the action movie heroes fall into love but usually this is not the case since the relationships build over the course of the movie. I can relate this kind of love to my aunt and uncle who have been together for a long time. I think love is a wonderful part of life.    

In some movies the hero or heroine seemingly falls in love with a person over the course of the movie, but actually they are building the relationship along the course of the movie, like I will do in my lifetime. Though in the movies “falling” in love seems like a canvas painting, a scene that seems so real and possible, in real life I wouldn’t “fall” in love. When some one falls in love it can be a roller coaster, a ride I don’t want to sign up for and can lead to a dizzying crash. As some people have come to realize that a relationship that you fall into may result into you realizing that you have nothing in common with your so called love. In some cases building a relationship can be troublesome but before you can first start you must find some one who you like and in that case finding and building are related. In order to build a relationship you must first unearth what your partner’s likes and dislikes are. I know I don’t like someone just by walking by them because we might have nothing in common. When I am older I know how I will “find the one for me” by finding someone then building our relation to a content state.             

            Life would not go one without love and I know many couples that are high spirited when together. Though I know many of these types of joyful relationships, a relation that both people are really compassionate towards each other but one really stands out in my mind as an amorous relationship, and that would be my aunt and my uncle. To start things off my uncle works really late into the ever growing night and my aunt makes dinner for the two of them and waits until he arrives home. Though this may not seem very significant in a relation it is actually very important because it shows that no matter how many times she see him she still loves him. The dinner table is a tremendously big part of my aunt and uncles relationship. At the dinner table my uncle always keeps the mood in a happy state with his unique and funny jokes. For my aunt and uncle meal time is a social part of their relationship.  On the whole the best bond is when there is a lot of collective talking and communication.

            In a relationship love is essential and it all matters how the person expresses that love. It doesn’t matter if this is by making a joke or buying each other flowers or anything else. It just matters how you build that relationship into something magnificent. So next time you love someone make sure to express it in any way you can.

Self Assessment

A writing issue I see in my writing is the lack of unique and well put transitions.

I think the strongest point in my writing would be my bell words

I still need to find interesting transitions and that would be my weak point

I would give myself a B.
