...How to mend a broken heart Going through a heartbreak can feel like being underwater when you need to breath. Mending a broken heart is not an easy quick process and can be time consuming. The person in this situation can feel there is no light at the end of the tunnel. A broken heart can be caused by one of many devastating occurrences or scenarios in life, such as the passing of a loved one, losing/not getting your dream job or the infamous breaking up with your significant other, which this essay will concentrate on. People build their lives with someone they trust and care for, and then, in a blink of an eye, it can be. This can leave most people angry and sorrowful, questioning themselves and possibly their future. Once a person has past the grieving stage and the hours of crying themselves to sleep, then this person must give themselves some “me time”. They must make time for themselves. People sometimes get caught up in a routine with their daily lives, especially after a break up. They should take a weekend and do things that make them happy, whether it’s hiking, biking, cooking or hanging out with friends that make them happy. Doing things that you love will not only distract a person from the heartache but can help a person realize they can be happy again. Writing down one’s feelings in a journal is a good coping mechanism. It can purify the mind through expression, thus resulting in happiness. Understanding and forgiving are major contributing factors in the...

...Enille Clarisse T. Dela Cruz AB-ENGLISH 3 Mending a Broken Heart Admit that these are the five usual things we do after break-ups, listening to sentimental music, thinking of getting back together, looking at the pictures of your exes, excessive eating and changing lifestyle. Mending a broken heart is never easy but aren’t these masochistic? Don’t they just add up to the pain? Just like what other say “time will heal the pain” but isn’t the meantime turning out the mean time? Break-ups are really disillusionment and a good cry simply can’t allocate the pain and surely, morphine won’t help. And though it can make you numb, even liquors can’t drown your sorrows. But whether you did the break-up or you are the one who gets’ busted, there are ways to make your situation somewhat easier to bear so you can move on. One thing is to never fantasize about your getting back together, remember that assuming and expecting is the root of all heartaches. The first and hardest part of moving on is to dispose everything that reminds you of your ex: pictures, favourite music together, monthsary or anniversary gifts, couple shirts, letters, everything! And cutting all the lines of communication as well as blocking him/her on your facebook. Never mind if he/ she will feel you’re bitter because this is the fastest way of moving on. Next is to make yourself busy. Instead of locking yourself up in your room, spend time doing necessary things like working, sporting, exercise/jog and bonding with...

...stories. However, getting your heart broken at some point in your life is inevitable. For some, it happens more than once. This is the case for our main character in the short story “The Rental Heart”, by Kirsty Logan. To begin with, the reader has no clue as to whether the main character is a boy or a girl. In my head though, I got the image of a girl. The story is about this girl, who gets her heart broken over and over again, by boys as well as girls (she is bisexual). It’s not really a problem for her, because she can just go to the heart rental place and get a new one right away, ready for the next person in line. It’s nothing but a piece of machinery, capable of loving another human being. When you’re done with that person, or the other way around, you just go back the rental place and order a new heart. It’s very smart actually. But just like any other machinery, cogs and bolts get rusty, and sometimes you get a defect device. How many times can you get your heart broken then? If you can just go change it once it’s broken, surely you would be able to get it broken as many times as you would need? That’s not the case for our main character. With her last girlfriend in the story, Grace, she finds out that she has a defect heart, and when she goes to check it, it’s all dusty and empty. She literally has “a broken heart”. This is the main theme in the story. What the writer is trying to tell us is, that if you keep making bumps and dents in your heart, in the end it will break...

...WEALTH AND POVERTY – JUDAISM The Jewish scholar of old viewed poverty as a great trouble and said that “he who is crushed by poverty is as though he were liable to every one of the sufferings of the world" (Midrash Rabbah, Exodus, 31:12). Poverty is a challenge and an opportunity for poor and most importantly for those with the means to help the needy. The bible lays down the brief precept as follow: In the event that, there is a poor individual among you, don't solidify your heart and close your hand. Maybe, you should open your hand and loan him, adequate for whatever he needs. Be careful keeping in mind that you harbor the base thought, with the goal that you are stingy towards your penniless brother and give him nothing and he shouts out to the Lord against you and you have sinned. Provide for him promptly and have no second thoughts when you do as such … the Lord your God will favor you in every one of your endeavors and in every one of your endeavors. For there will never stop to be destitute individuals in your property, which is the reason I charge you; open your hand to poor people and penniless family in your territory...

...The article by Sarah Jones essentially opens up by explaining Vance's view on the economic crisis affecting not only the nation, but specifically the working class white people of the Appalachian region. She portrayed the idea that if Vance were really from an area at the heart of the economic recession, then he should know best that moving up the socioeconomic ladder is not as simple as just going out and getting a job. While there is complete validity to the argument Sarah makes, there is something to be said for Vance’s view on the situation. JD Vance is from an area in southwestern Ohio that embodies and exemplifies the extent of the socio- economic recession ravaging the nation. The powerhouse factories that once fueled a beautiful and...

...10 tips to mend a broken heart Bess Myerson once wrote that “to fall in love is awfully simple, but to fall out of love is simply awful.” Especially if you are the one who wanted the relationship to last. Mending a broken heart is never easy. There is no quick way to stop your heart from hurting so much. To stop loving isn’t an option. Author Henri Nouwen writes, “When those you love deeply reject you, leave you, or die, your heart will be broken. But that should not hold you back from loving deeply. The pain that comes from deep love makes your love ever more fruitful.” But how do we get beyond the pain? Here are 10 tips I’ve gathered from experts and from conversations with friends on how they patched up their heart and tried, ever so gradually, to move on. 1. Go through it, not around it. I realize the most difficult task for a person with a broken heart is to stand still and feel the crack. But that is exactly what she must do. Because no shortcut is without its share of obstructions. Here’s a simple fact: You have to grieve in order to move on. During the 18 months of my severe depression, my therapist repeated almost every visit: “Go through it. Not around it.” Because if I went around some of the issues that were tearing me apart inside, then I would bump into them somewhere down the line, just like being caught in the center of a traffic circle. By going through the intense pain, I eventually surfaced as a stronger person ready to tackle problems head on. Soon the...

...Breaking up is never fun. The end of a relationship means the beginning of a period of mourning and healing for both people. If the break up was mutual both people will experience a period of adjustment where they are getting used to no longer being together. If the break up was not mutual the person who ended things may be dealing with guilt and feelings that they may have made a mistake. The person being broken up with will definitely have to adjust, first to being rejected and second to life without somebody they still care for. How do you get through those first few weeks? Here we list eight essential things everybody must do in the early days of a break up to let the healing begin. 1. Avoid the former love. Yes, avoid. No, this isn’t being immature. Seeing your former flame can bring out emotions and may cause you do to or say something you will regret. In the first few weeks the best thing you can do for yourself is not be where you know they will be. 2. Talk out your feelings with close friends. Get everything out so that you won’t hold it inside. Your friends may get sick of hearing you talk about the situation but you need to let out all your feelings and thoughts or they may come back to bite you later. 3. Cry if you want to. It’s OK to cry over a loss. Don’t hold back, let the tears roll just do it in a safe and private place where it is unlikely to get back to your ex. You don’t want your tears to be used as a guilt trip. Their purpose is to cleanse you of any pain...

... The food we eat, in the form of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, is used as fuel for reactions in the body that make us 'alive'. To utilise these fuels for muscle action, the body converts them to a common 'energy currency', called adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP), once converted to ATP, it can lose its chemical energy and it becomes ADP. We all need energy to move our body. In order to get energy, we need to eat right, then put ourselves to motivate for every day. If we have no energy in our body, we are dead by now. Glucose is a simple sugar that provides the body with its primary source of energy. This type of sugar comes from digesting carbohydrates into a chemical that the body can easily convert to energy. The carbohydrate is broken down into glucose by enzymes in precise stages that allow energy to be released so that it can be used by the person, when glucose levels in the bloodstream aren't properly regulated, a person can develop a serious condition, such as diabetes. The process involves the random motion of oxygen and glucose from regions of higher concentration First the oxygen must diffuse from the alveolus into the capillaries. It is able to do this because the capillaries are permeable to oxygen. After it...

...When it becomes revealed to Will that Maura had lied to him and Isaac was nothing but fiction, he grows upset. Crestfallen, Will bumps into Grayson and Grayson aid in mending Will’s broken heart.

...Young 1 Whitney Young Troy University Oct 3, 2014 Young 2 The Academy Award winner Mel Columcille Gerard Gibson also known as Mel Gibson, father of 8, has had many accomplishments. He played the lead role in the movie Braveheart, directed Passion of the Christ, and recently starred in a the box office hit, Expendables 3. He has had a lot of highs and lows of his career and has done everything from winning multiple awards to receiving DUI's followed by public outbursts. You did not hear much about him being a “bad boy” during the 80's or 90's, but in the last 15 years his behavior has gotten progressively worse. What could have caused this Oscar winner to have so many issues? [Gibson, 2014]. During a documentary, Mel Gibson announced that he was bipolar. He said, “I had really good highs, but some very low lows. I found out recently I'm manic depressive”. [ABC News, Marikar]. Mel Gibson has been accused of being a homophobic, racist, and misogynistic pig. While fans and critics may blame his behavior on substance abuse or accuse him of being a megalomaniac, he has been diagnosed with bipolar I disorder. The difference between bipolar I and bipolar II disorder is mania which Gibson suffers from. Mania is only found in bipolar I disorder. (Comer, p. 245). During his arrest for his DUI, he made remarks about Jews being responsible for all the wars in the world. He then came back and apologized...

...I recall that nine-year-old me, hoping someone could provide any solution to my relentless torment no matter what it would take. It felt as if my body was testing how irrepressible I could be and how much I could work past my physical and emotional pain. Nonetheless, I continued to attend school as often as possible, disregarding any ailment I was forced to deal with. The defeat wretched my heart, until I finally got a diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis right after my sweet sixteen. I felt blessed, as if a miracle had come to save me. All my pain stemmed from a milk allergy-- under the radar to any test-- that could be avoided and alleviate the lesions in my esophagus; just like a spider, I mended my body with patience and care. While taking medicine daily and altering my entire diet, I felt resilient. After all I had gone through, I was truly a spider; having my web be broken, I reconstructed it with even more competence and dexterity than I ever had before, solely to be even stronger. Without question, I am a spider, and University of Richmond is a web I would be happy to be tangled in. I intend to stand out despite my stature. I intend to extend outside of my typical boundaries. I intend to make my body and mind more durable than ever, and University of Richmond is the school where anything and everything...

...College Comp 2 Research Paper Simply Masterful “Most of us would prefer to look at cartoons in a magazine than read a poem," says Kooser. Poetry reflects life in a way that even big movies, cannot do. Kooser’s poems invite the reader to reflect on everyday items and to notice the small details and beauties of the world. He has a talent to express emotions in a way that the readers themselves will experience. He has been referred to as the master of the short metaphorical poem (Gioia). Kooser has lived in Iowa and Nebraska all of his life. His decision to remain in the Midwest has resulted in a limited audience for his work, but Gioia concludes by observing that Kooser “has written more perfect poems than any poet of his generation” (Gioia). “Kooser wants a poetry anyone can read without shame and understand without labor, because he thinks poetry has too long been in the hands of poets who go out of their way to make their poems difficult if not downright discouraging” (Logan). Although many authors poetry is extremely hard to understand, Ted Kooser’s well-constructed poetic language and simple eloquent style, conveys a heartfelt message toward subjects like loved ones, everyday items, and rural America that are effortless to comprehend throughout his poetry as a result of his tone, imagery, personification, and the uncomplicated metaphors. Kooser has always been identified primarily as a poet. “While I was at work, I did everything that was required of me and kept getting...

...their respective households. In some respects, Little Women is also a child-rearing guidebook. When Marmee's harvesting time came, she had three happy well-rounded children and a fourth with God. Each lesson she taught was not just told to them, but demonstrated, and enforced with kindness and with love. She inspired her girls to be the best they could be, and did not try to change them even if they were as awkward and tomboyish as Jo. Most importantly, she let them make the choices for their life and did not sway their decisions once the girls made them. Little Women today remains a classic because it shows that every young person goes through trials and decision points. Death's of loved ones, family crisis's, and the mending of broken hearts are something all young people go through and are acturatly portrayed in Alcott's novel. Most importantly, readers today remain inspired by Jo's commitment to her writing, Meg's devotion to her family, and Beth's willingness to help the ones she loves.
