What is love?

I recall some lines from Stuck In Love movie. I kind of like this kind of movie. It is far from grand or complex plot twists, yet it offers you a meaning, of course in understanding more about love. But I'm not going to talk about the movie. You can always enjoy Nat Wolff and Lily Collins anytime you want.

"You've never been in love?"
"If love is setting a place at a table for someone who’s never coming home, I think I’ll pass."

In that line, Lily plays a daughter whose parents have been divorced, but her dad always places the table as if his wife would come back home and have dinner with all of them. It is kind of sad. When you think you have love, acting so arrogant because of it without realizing whether it is unrequited one or not. 

So yeah, common sense is important. The reason why people come with ratio and stuff is because we should use it. What is the function of your love towards someone if it turned out unrequited? What would you do with it? 

As for me, burn it. Never look back. Get out of that kind of unhealthy situation that would explode in no time (if you keep it longer). I have always been in the middle of giving it all or not. Some of me thinks it would be wise to keep it in between where you don't get higher hopes of your love would be bounced back or go big for it. It is pretty hard, you know. Feelings are not merely toys we can easily play with. Feelings are our souls. They live within us. They build us up. And if we keep piling negative feelings, we would be the most pessimistic person in the world, and vice versa. The best way is moving on. Keep in mind that life does not stop for anybody. So you should keep chasing it. Life is like an empty book. You have the right to make your own story. Do not be ashamed of the black tint of it, where you use for writing it on. Keep writing it in colorful tints. 

And to talk about love itself, it is a great feeling a person could possess. People who are in love always look the best as if all of the kinds of happiness revolve around him and help brightening up his smile. And we should appreciate ourselves when we are in love, and yet with the same gratitude feeling, we should know when to leave from the situation that would crucify those aura. And I'm telling you, your own self is precious. Do not let your soul sinks into the Black Sea. Move out. Get out. And keep standing. 

If you really appreciate love, start from keeping yours red. Do not paint it black. You have to be in condition where your love is in the red-est state whenever you approach someone new. Don't give them the black part of it. It is not wise.

My Star by Robert Browning  Poem Analysis Today, I'd like to present my poem analysis; My Star by Robert Browning . This poem analysis would be divided into three parts, namely: introduction which will tell a brief background life of the poet, then to the content where there will be summary and intrinsic elements of this poem, and then move to the conclusion as the finish line. But more importantly, you need to know why I choose this poem, which belongs to Men and Women (1885)  poems collections of Browning. It is because this dainty love lyric is just beautiful and simple, in words-chosen and easy to understand too. More importantly, this poem shows us how the beauty of a person is different depending on its beholder. Yet, we should respect the differences.

Since it is holiday already, so I have more time to gather the data and publish this article, which is entitled Gender Stereotypes and Performativity in Frozen movie . I analyzed this movie in order to complete the assignment given in Children literature class. But it turned out interesting! I focused only one theory; performativity from Judith Butler. Check out the analysis from my paper! The writer analyzes Frozen movie by focusing only one theory; performativity from Judith Butler. In order to not broaden it into some theories that may be found in the plot, the writer thinks the misconstrued-performances of the main characters, Anna and Elsa are easily seen and become vast majority start from the beginning until the very end of the movie. But it doesn’t mean other theories are forgotten. Something that the writer immediately thought about when finishing the movie was that Frozen is perhaps the queerest animated film ever produced by Disney–queer as being a theoretical practic
