What First Love Teaches Us

What first loves teach us 

I write about all kinds of things, but no matter what I am writing about, all of it comes from my heart. It is what I am passionate about. But this topic touches my heart more than any other than I write about because I am such a romantic at heart.

I believe in happily ever after, in Cinderella and Prince Charming, in flowers, cards, slow dancing, and soul mates... Yes, I am Tinker bell, I believe…

And I definitely believe in first loves and how they hold a place in your heart forever and the things they teach us. How do I know this? Because my first love was my high school sweetheart, and it was the most real love I have ever found in my life.

It shaped my life so much that I wrote a book about it. It's been a lasting love story throughout my life. Why, you may ask? It is because he taught me so many things. He taught me to love, to believe in love at first sight. He taught me to try new things, to open up my mind and my heart. He taught me that I could do anything and that with love, you can overcome any obstacle. He was sweet, kind, caring, romantic, and loved me like no one has ever done before or since.

But I wanted more... I wanted the good life with money and traveling and a bigger lifestyle than I had growing up. This small town and this country boy didn't fit into my grand scheme of things, and so I left looking for a better life. Somehow, I thought I could see the world and still come back to this man who held my heart.

But life is strange and doesn't always work the way you want it to, and to my dismay, he had moved on.

There was never a day I didn't think of him, of us, no matter how many men I had in and out of my life, he always held my heart.

He came back into my life years later while I was in the midst of my horrible abusive marriage and he said he didn't know me anymore, that the girl he knew would never give my power away like I had done in this marriage. Who was I? Who did I become? He didn't know me anymore. 

That statement changed my life forever. His words and his belief in me gave me the courage to take a stand and take back my self-worth.

I began looking for my old self and realized that I liked me, the real me, not the me my ex-husband wanted me to be. This moved me into finally leaving and getting divorced. We still kept in touch, and even now, he still holds a piece of my heart. 

So today, my friends, I know that this love was for a lesson I needed in my life. Like so many other lessons I have needed to learn over these last 11 years. I also know that when the lesson is over, and I learned what I needed to, it is time to move on.

I am grateful for his love and support and for being a part of my life.

Yes, I believe that one day I will find a true love like this again....because no matter what, I am a true romantic at heart, and I know what true love can teach you. Don't give up. Don't close your heart because you've been hurt. There is true love out there.
