She was happy. Finally content with her life and her relationship. This time she thought they were going to make it. It was the best she'd felt about them in a very long time. She was content in her daily routine. They were both working, and seeing each other when they had time. She gave him space to breathe and he did the same for her. It made their time together so much better. He was slowly regaining her trust and her heart. This was good for them, she thought.
She was angry. Everything was supposed to be better now. Why had it not worked? What did she do to deserve this? How can someone that she did every thing for and gave everything to do this to her? She asked herself all of these questions over and over again. It killed her that it had to end this way. She would've wanted things to work, but he made it impossible. She could forgive him but there was only so much she could forget, and she had definitely surpassed that limit.
She was sad. She was only sad for a little while. It was mostly the loneliness. The change from talking to someone all day every day to not at all was big. She wished he could still be in her life but he couldn't, he didn't deserve to and she knew that. It still ran through her head every day; how could he do this to her. They could have been happy. She wanted answers.
She was excited. There was a new boy in her life. She had met him before but under different circumstances. He treated her well, made her feel special, told her they could be together. She finally had something to look forward to everyday. She felt like things were looking up.
She was angry. The new boy in her life changed his mind. He fell for her told her how much he liked her, and made her fall for him just as hard. He got an internship out of state and didn't think they could keep seeing each other. He wanted to end things now so he wouldn't have to then. She was confused; why couldn't they still try? Why didn't he have any faith in them lasting. She wasn't sad about it because they weren't too attached, but she was most definitely mad. Mad about the wasted time and that she rushed into something she thought was solid, when it turned out not to be.
Things had changed for her in so many ways. She isn't completely happy but she's getting used to her new solo life-style. She is confused, sad, and angry, but she still manages to smile.
This is a very interesting piece for me to read. You've done successfully here something I've tried pushing you away from all semester, which is to write in a general, overview kind of way. Usually it doesn't work, but here it does and very well too--because you are so confident in those straightforward topic sentences and what you can do with each of those emotions in the graf to follow.
ReplyDeleteSo, what pleases me so much is that here at the end of the course, you've found a way to write Jordan Larrabee style but a way that also satisfiese Mr Please Be Specific And Give Me Details.
