My First Love and First Kiss - DWC Day 9


I'm not positive that I remember specifically who was my first love or first kiss. Who really counts? The boy I had an extreme crush on in third grade? The boy that would walk me home from school in fifth grade? The boy that gave me my first gift from a guy? The boy that...whatever?

I think that it would be more realistic to say that maybe that's where I am now. Or maybe it hasn't come to me yet. By that I mean that I loved them all in their own way. Each person that has meant something to my heart was a first love. The most important relationships that I've had mean nothing to where I am now and who I'm with now and how we interact. The firsts of X number of years ago mean nothing to the firsts of my current relationship or to any possible future relationships.

Love is a unique incarnation with each person that you love. Watching how that love forms and grows is the magic of being in a relationship. Yes, relationships can be difficult because it is the folding together of two unique people to create something new together. Often the battles that rage in relationships are the refusals of one or both parties to allow that other person to still be themselves within the new formation of “WE.”
