K.K quotes and connections

1.) Love is like the rain, it comes in a drizzle sometimes. Then it starts pouring, and if you're not careful it will drown  you.

2.) the past is like that on our heads. I moved to New York when I was twelve, but you always have this feeling that wherever you come from, ypu physically leaves it. But it doesn't leave you.



This quotes have really touched me in ways u can't describe. It did not take me long to choose which two I wanted as they connected with me very easily. The first one hit me pretty hard because growing up as a lost child, forced into foster care and put up for adoption, finding "love" was not easy. I always wanted to feel loved. I don't mean love in the sense like, a boyfriend. I just mean love in general. My mother was always touch on my sister and I while growing up, but as a child who never knew what love really was, it was hard for me. I took many Hingis she said to heart and felt I would never be loved. As I got older I started to see the small things she would do to show me she loved me. Then, as I got older I started to like this guy who I grew up with a while back. He was very sweet and has always been there for me. We started dating my freshman year when I was 16 years old.i finally felt loved and I was happy.but soon, I just felt like I was drowning. The more he said "I love you" the less it felt real. It felt like he just kept repeating it to reassure me that he did not loose that feeling. my sophomore year, he cheated on me over five times and I never knew. I felt like my life was sucked out of me. I know it sounds cliché but I really liked him, and he broke my heart. I did not eat for weeks. It's true what they said, love will drown you but hope will keep you afloat. The second quote really  touched me too. I was born in Ireland and got made fun of a lot when I was adopted. I never wanted to accept the fact that I was Irish. I was always so shamed but I will never forget my home. It was where I came from and as I got older I started to embrace myself more. I realized there wss nothing to be ashamed of. Yes, I may have left it behind, but it will never leave me for it is apart of me, and I will never forget it.
