And it was through falling flat-on-my-butt in love with him that I realized the most important thing about first love: as deep as it is for you at the time, it’s only a teaser for even more amazing things to come. And whether first love ends dramatically or hurtfully or simply, eventually all the emotional fog surrounding it clears and we can see that first love is so special because it’s one of the few experiences in life when we follow only our heart – not reason, not “rules,” not what other people say. Maybe that’s why we all hold on to our first love in some way – why we miss it or long for it, want to reclaim or redo it. Because first love opens our eyes to that feeling that everyone has been talking about, singing out, writing about. It makes you feel like you’ve crossed over from not knowing to knowing. With first love, everything is new and the possibilities it awakens in you are exhilarating. ~ Jessica Blatt
