Personal Narrative: Chronic Love Sick Syndrome
I fall in love with all the wrong people.

I use the word "love" lightly, for I have never been in love the way the majority of the world defines it.

I think love is a word taken to seriously, just as hate is a word taken to lightly. I love most things and I hate practically nothing. Yet I always finding myself saying I 'hate' this and that, but rarely declaring my love for anything. While 'hate' is tossed around like a football, 'love' is hidden deep in a complicated corn maze like the one in The Shinning. And when you got inside the maze, looking for love, a possessed Jack Nicholson comes chasing after you with an ax, forcing you to run backwards in the snow in order to throw him off your trail. Metaphorically, of course.

Sorry for the short tangent, as I was saying before, I fall in love with the wrong people constantly. I fall fast and hard. And I heal slowly and painfully. I consider it to be a disorder, Chronic Love Sick Syndrome. I'll think of a better name later. Anyway, this syndrome causes me to fall in love too quickly and never fails to leave me in heartbreak.

I love a good bad boy. Beyond lame, I know but I can't help it. I guess I like the chase, another pretty bad cliche, sorry. I never liked making things easy for myself.

Here's a cute story. It's my first Halloweekend as a college student and I'm anxious to go out and have a good time. That's when I met him. I'm pretty sure he was into me almost instantly because he paid extra attention to everything I said and paid for all of my drinks that night. Sweet, right? But I wasn't into it. He tried for a good two weeks to get my attention so I gave in and let him kiss me one night. I still wasn't into him, of course. It wasn't until he took me on the cutest date, talked to me like we were old friends, kissed me goodbye... then proceeded to ignore me for a week, that I wanted him.

We eventually hooked up and then he went back to ignoring me. I loved

    Eventually, I embarrassingly fell in love. It wasn’t gradual, or voluntary - it just happened. Those “butterflies in your tummy” when you like someone are not some exaggerated, over the top, cliche’d, made up feeling. They’re real! In the most figurative sense, of course. Then I asked myself, “How did I know I was ‘in love’?” Well, my palms became clammier than ever, I had a smile on my face whenever this person was present (in reality AND in my head) - which by the way I had no control over - and I did everything in my power to “bump” into the person whenever I had the chance. It was the single greatest feeling; I fell in love and I had no choice in the matter. What I did get to choose, though, was whether to pursue this feeling or completely ignore it.…

    Love; a noun; an intense feeling of deep affection. Now, when the definition of love is used in today's society, one might think of a scrappy young couple barely getting by in a worn down apartment in New York or Portland, sitting down in a pile of blankets and thinking of the most unique child names for their soon to be. One might think of a love between a soft newborn and their mother moments after being brought into the world, the love and admiration in the mother's eyes thinking of all the endless possibilities their life could have. Love could be used when the parents send their child off to school, tears filling their eyes because they are so proud to see the love of their life, their born child growing up and experiencing the vast…

    A couple of days ago, I was watching a movie where an English teacher asks her students to discuss ‘what is love’. Majority of the class did not know how to respond. At first, I found this odd considering that love is a universally understood emotion that can be felt by most human beings. We express the emotion on a daily basis, whether it be towards our family, friends, or significant others. However, upon some introspection, I realized that it is difficult to come up with a solid definition for it because of its subjective nature. Love exists in many different forms and holds different meanings for different people.…

    Love has the effects of a drug. One can become an addict to love and act irrationally, just like the effects of a drug addiction. In the Elizabethan era romantic comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, William Shakespeare reveals with a motif of the magic of a special violet flower the effects of love make people irrational, and can happen to anyone.…

    Recently, I became ill with an upper-respiratory infection. The first few days, it just felt like a simple cold, so I thought it would be okay to go over to my boyfriend’s house for dinner. He cooked us a meal, then poured two glasses of wine. Even though I was a little under the weather, I drank the glass. Previous to this, he and I had discussed that I would be spending the night there because we had not seen each other for awhile. I looked forward to this because I was sick, and wanted the comfort and care from another person. After I drank the glass, I started to feel worse. My face turned red, and I was burning up with a fever. He quickly assessed me and said: “You should go home.” This offended me. I had hoped he would want to take care of me, not throw me out because of my illness. I tried to reason with him, but he kept telling me I should leave. He offered to drive me home even though I drove, telling me he could pick me up in the morning. I became very closed off from him then. Slowly putting the pieces together, he asked me if I had ever spent the night with someone when I was sick, and I said yes. He responded saying: “I thought it was normal to want to sleep alone when you’re sick.” I had misunderstood that he was…

    Love is endless and come in all shapes and sizes. Most people can say that there is someone in their life that they love, whether it is a parent, sibling, child, or significant other. But there have been some cases where someone fell in love with someone else and that person does not feel the same way as them, rather they felt the complete opposite of love for that person. Occasionally when someone is in love with someone else and they know that person does not feel the same way it can have a negative effect on them mentally. William Shakespeare through the character of Helena, in his play “A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream”, he shows one of the many negative mental effects that can occur in someone lives when they are going through that situation.…

    You have to tell him everything and you have to be honest” Alicia’s advice for me before they dropped me off. I came out of the car and I started looking for Nathan. I saw him sitting in a bench next to a tree. “Nathan!” I called him. “Oh hey Hailey let's go?” “Let's go where?” “Uhm I prepared something” then he blushed a little. We started walking towards a table that has flowers, foods, drinks, plates and etc. He handed me a bouquet of rose, I remembered he used to tell a red rose represents his love for me. I thanked him then I sit on the chair. He put a bread and variety of fruits on my plate, he also gave a cup of tea. “Do you want something else? I’ll buy it real quick” he offered. “No I'm fine, I ate breakfast already.” He started eating so I started eating my food as well. Both of us didn't talk of a good 15 minutes, it was extremely…
