Love

What is love if it is the hardest thing in the world for us to find. People spend years of their life searching for the one person that completes them. We often try and fail repeatedly but without attempts you would not know what type of person you are looking for to complete you. In a quote by Andre Brenton he states “All my life, my heart has yearned for a thing I cannot name.” This is something we all can relate to. A personal example of myself experiencing love but being unable to express it still haunts me to this day.

I found the most beautiful girl and someone I can see myself spending the rest of my life with. Her name is Laura Cote. She is tall, tan and gorgeous. She is a year older than me, and is also my best friends cousin. I know she is special to me because, she is one of a few people in my life that I remember in great detail the first time we met. It was whenni was in sixth grade and my best friend Anthony asked me if I wanted to go to his cousins basketball game. I agreed, but unannounced to me that I was going to be introduced to the girl of my dreams. From the moment I laid eyes on her, I felt an instant connection. Unfortunately for me to this day we are still friends and I am struggling with expressing my feelings to her. My problem is that I do not want to lose her.

This whole situation has turned into basically a joke for my two best friends. This was until last weekend when we reunited for the second time since school started. We meet in Rhode Island at our friends beach house and were discussing our love lives. This is when the topic of Laura came up and I proceeded to take control of the situation by expressing to them how I really felt but this time I didn’t let them turn it into a joke. I told them I can’t stop thinking about her and for the first time they truly understood how I felt and began to provide me with some confidence. Hopefully this confidence can translate over to action. This action would lead to the girl of my dreams and the girl of me dreams leads to love, which is what we are all searching for.
