I Only Date Men With Glasses

Elle Diaz

Project Description

There is a theory that some people believe to be true. Which is that we fall in love three times in our whole lifetime. These three pivotal moments are called: Puppy Love, Complicated Love, and The One. In my work, I wrote about my three experiences with each type, while also seeing the foreshadowing problems, each relationship had before they ended. My own goal is to dedicate my work to my future daughters, or nieces to have almost like a guideline of what to look out for in relationships or friendships. In other words to not make the same mistakes I did.

What Form will your Final Project Take?

I am still working on the illustration parts on this I am still working on the illustration parts on this manuscript, because it’s multimedia. I would hope to one day but I don’t know yet.

I'm wearing a black dress, in front of a white wall and I'm looking into the camera. My hair is half blond and half dark brown. And dress is also long sleeve.

Who was supporting you in your work?

Alison, classmates from the capstone class, my parents and friend who would read my work. Yes Alison, my capstone professor.

Research, Creative

How has this project has been impactful or transformative?

It made me realize that when you write out an experiences, or my case stories about our relationship. From day one to the final moments of when the relationship ended, you can clearly see the moment and where the relationship foreshadowing where it was going to fail. what is comical about that experience is, that in the moment you don’t see it happening because you’re blinded by “love.” It’s not until you’re done with everything where you beginning to look at the situation more logically. You begin to realize everything you had let yourself get put through.

What would you do differently?

Honestly, I wouldn’t do anything differently, whether somethings may have not gone my way during the writing of my manuscript, I take it as a form of learning, and not letting it get to me. Good or bad situations are still experiences.

Short summary of your experience:

It was honestly great, I learn a lot about myself through writing and texting different style. I can’t wait to see what in the works for me and my future with my writing journey. Truthfully I’m excited for this project as well on the illustrating parts of my work.
