The Pain of my First Love

He was the thing I loved the most, but the thing that also broke me. When we met, I was instantly swept away. His eyes penetrated my heart and I was memorized by their dazzling green color. He brought out feelings in me that I never knew existed. 

He was fearless when he approached me. In fact, he confidently brushed up against me multiple times and left me wanting more with each encounter. We quickly began to spend a lot of time together. After school we would sit on the porch and cuddle together. He would put his head in my lap as I sat there in pure bliss. He was all mine and I was unconditionally his. 

But then my body broke. Each time we were together, my body would shatter in pain and feel horrible. He would touch me and my body would automatically reject him. He tried so hard to make things better, but the damage was done. My body could not handle the pain that he brought. My eyes would swell up each time we were together and I would have to run to the bathroom with barely enough time to regain my composure before I completely fell apart. Our days were over....

Until I took Zyrtec! My dad, a doctor, recommended that I take Zyrtec to stop my cat allergies. Sure enough, it worked! At last, Charles, my first cat, and I were reunited.  We could cuddle all we wanted without me breaking out in hives. He could sit on my lap for hours without making me sneeze. Our love was unbreakable despite its pain.

    Hi Olivia,

    This post reminded me of my friend who was also allergic to cats but also love cats. Whenever we found a cute cat on the street, she would cover her mouth and nose with clothes, and still pet the cat though I tried really hard to stop her each time.

    Your cats look super adorable!

    Your connection with animals runs deep. I still can't forget your corgi article! One of my dogs is on his way out right now so seeing these posts really hits home. I'm glad your relationship found a way to work.

    Haha this was such a sweet post. The picture gave away the fact that you were talking about a cat which was hidden in the beginning. Even so it was super cute!

    Hahaha this is hilarious but sad at the same time. That's quite a sense of humor you got there.

    It almost seemed like a Zyrtec commercial and I was completely convinced for a second that I also needed some Zyrtec. I'm glad you can cuddle with your cats now!

    You seem to have a very strong connection with your cat! I haven't seen my dog in a while and reading this has made me think about him.

    Lol I'm glad I read this. My sister finally convinced my dad to let her get a cat a couple years ago, even though he's allergic. Nowadays when she brings the cat home, he can't wait for Finn to jump up onto the couch and sit on his lap. Crazy what Zyrtec can do!

Corgi Expert Article

SHORT LEGS, DON’T CARE An in-depth look at the cutest dogs in the world: corgis. Long before corgis were known today for their bodacious butts, a warrior tribe of Celts brought the corgis in their aboriginal form to Cardiganshire, Wales around 1200 BCE (AKC). This early breed was a member of the Teckel family of dogs that went on to later include the dachshund. The Celts trained the corgis to nip at the heels of cattle to herd them. Corgis’ low height off of the ground and their innate agility helped them to avoid the hooves of cattle but keep them moving. The name “Corgi” means either cur dog or dwarf dog ( cor = dwarf, gi = lenitive of ci , dog) in the Welsh language, which was not intended as an insult to the dog's size, rather as a purely descriptive term (AKC). Folk legend says that corgis were a gift from fairies. Two types of corgis: Pembroke Welsh vs. Cardigan Welsh Now there are two types of corgis that you need to be aware of. First there ...

Random Blog Post - Song Review of "Seventeen" By Sharon Van Etten

“Seventeen” by Sharon Van Etten https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7sTHoeH0eA "I see you so uncomfortably alone, I wish I could show you how much you’ve grown." Those lyrics plunged deep into my soul as I listened to Sharon Van Etten tear apart my heart the first time I heard her song “Seventeen” off of her latest album Remind Me Tomorrow . Sharon put to words thoughts I couldn’t even articulate about my adolescence. She poured out the most intimate thoughts about her life that were so personal yet relatable for many of us. Her vulnerability in Seventeen taps into my own insecurity I had at that age, yet strength I have now for the person I’ve become. Oh how I wish I could go tell my seventeen year old self that everything would be okay. I was wide eyed yet confused and desperate to find certainty in life. “You’re just seventeen” would probably sound so trivial to hear at the age of seventeen but I needed someone like my twenty two year old self to remind hi...
