One of the most difficult experiences in life is losing our first love, the first person we felt a deep connection with.  You finally after so many years of searching, hoping, praying, wishing and dreaming found someone that you feel just gets you.

Now all you’re left with is endless questions, pain and a shattered heart of how this could have possibly ended and not been it. You are constantly left wondering how and why, but nothing serves as a good enough answer or consolation.

You wish for your love to come back, for things to get better, and everyone around you promises you that you will find this love again one day.  But whenever you hear this, you know it’s not true. You know that you will never, ever find this love again. You just won’t.

Well, darling, you will most definitely love again. You will meet someone else, and you will love them deeply, but yes, it will never be the same love as you had for the first time.

The love you shared with your first love is a unique one, that only the two of you will ever understand.  But that’s ok. You are not the same person anymore who loved that person. You are now loving your new partner in the present, in this very moment.  You both have changed since then.

We can’t stay the same, so it makes complete sense that our love will grow and change together with us.  They may very well have been your biggest love until love, your favorite, but rest assured, there will be so much more to come. It will never be exactly the same, but that is so alright.

Enjoy living in the present, don’t let the past stop you from that. Embrace new love as it comes your way. Don’t waste your heart wishing to have your old love back. It came in your life for a period, for a reason, it changed you, it helped you, but now the time has come to carry on and see what else is out there for you.

It’s time to turn the page to the next chapter of your beautiful life.
