Poetry On Odyssey: Three types of love

In This Article:

The first love is often the shortest

It happens suddenly and without warning

Like a firework exploding in the night sky

It is beautiful and wondrous

I cannot imagine life without it

But it ends

Usually for some silly reason

Or because neither I nor you were mature yet

Looking back upon it I try to pretend it was not love

But it was all the love I knew at the time


The second type of love is most hurtful

This is the love you imagine would last forever

You learn from this love and it makes you stronger

Like all things that become strong

To become stronger you must be broken first

This love will betray you, lie to you, damage you

But in the end, you grow

You find what you truly want from another person

You find your limits

However, this love closes you

You became cautious with your heart


The third type of love is the most unexpected

We were comfortable in our loneliness

In the bleak emptiness, we found ourselves

Love crept back into our lives

Like the silent dawn, its light covered us completely

We could see everything now

Despite every wall, we built

Despite every emotion hidden away in the darkness

Everything came to the light created by love

We no longer hide anything from each other

We can finally see the beauty in our flaws

Because we grow together in every moment

In all of the vastness of the universe

We found each other


True love is something developed

It is not stumbled upon but earned

It is the greatest blessing because of the journey to it

It does not need to change or adapt

It is simply enough

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
