Do you remember your first love?
I do.
For years, I was stuck, clinging onto the dream of being with him.
God helped me to let go.
I came to realize something. Sometimes, we are not in love with the person, we are in love with the memories.
Other times we are in love with who someone was and not who they have become.
We change.
Imagine if someone was in love with who you were 3 years ago. You might tell them, “No, I’m not that person anymore.”
I was in love with what had happened, the conversations we used to have, who he used to be.
It’s time to let the first love go.
I hope you find a stronger and better love. You will. A love that will overcome change, challenges and celebrate all the way to the finish line. A love that is filled with action and makes the choice to love every day.
Now, we look forward, with our heads held high.
With love
P.S. I have a question for you guys:
Are your past love(s) meant to occupy a space in your heart forever? Yes/No and Why?
@Tumi Pare This is true and interesting perspective: we should love them. I see a debate coming up on this one, on the difference between love and acceptance, we have to discuss this :-)
@britleywathen7 This is actually such great advice, I cannot 'unlove' someone, but that does not mean I have to be a part of their life. Thank you for this.
The love a mother has for her child never ceases. From the time of conception to the time of adult hood. The child has developed and changed drastically from when he was a child. Yet, in most circumstances, the mother still loves her child, despite the change. This same love we should have for our brothers and our sisters whether they change or not.
I think to love is human nature , so once you truly love someone you can’t “unlove” them . So if they occupy a space it’s fine if they don’t it’s still fine . Just find a healthy way of loving them from afar if he/she is no longer a part of your life 🤔. Ps this is just my opinion based on my experience , not claiming to be a love guru 😅.
