Hi Lone Cypress Workshop,
This is a fantastic essay. The title is enigmatic and attention grabbing. It tells the reader very little about what is actually in the essay. They are intrigued and will begin to read to find out more. You launch into the essay without introduction or preamble. This takes all the reader's attention and focuses it completely on the topic and the essay. They will read to the last word. You have written about how to know when you are in love and when you love yourself enough to love someone else. The reader is delighted with the look they get at you as a person as well as a writer. The length is perfect. You completely develop your topic without belaboring the issue and making the essay tedious. You use a formal, organized style that is very appealing to the reader. Great job.
