Reflective essay week 5

Since the last class I have been thinking a lot about writing something completely different than my last essays. I have been thinking really hard on what I want to write and what experience really affected me in the past. Finally I have found a subject on which I really want to tell you about.

It all begins with when I was sixteen years old. I had met this really cool girl who was in my class at the time. After a while I started to get to know her better. We started hanging out more often till a point where we actually were going out together. After a month or so we actually fell in love with each other, at least I thought that it was the right definition of love at the time. We were dating for only half a year when I found out that she had cheated on me. I was devastated about it and broke up with her thinking that I could never trust a girl again. Listening to only depressing music, watching terrible movies and not participating in any social activities I thought to myself that I was still too young to give up on love and decided to have a little fun in my life.

A few years after that I finished my high school, and started with my first education I started working for a bar. After I decided that I did not like the education I was doing I stopped studying for a while and started working more. During that period I met what I thought then was the love of my life. Again I started to hang out with this girl a lot and we felt for each other a lot. She was actually 5 years older than me and came from a different country. We were never an official couple but we spend more time with each other than normal. For some reason I have always considered during this period that we were always going to end up in different ways knowing our background, yet I did not want to realise this from happening. After a year however, she decided to return to her home country to study again and leave her life in Amsterdam behind. This meant for me that I was left alone and since we were never officially together she did not feel like she was leaving anything behind at all. After that I decided again to have little fun with my life.

After the years have gone by I still have not found a new love. Then I went to this festival last summer and it turned and I met this lovely girl who is today still my girlfriend.

What you might think is what the purpose of this beautiful story is, but this actually made me realise to never give up on something even if you have bad experiences with it and am not open to something things may come your way anyhow so never give up hope.
