Big Love


I think I finally know why people say they will never forget their first big love. Unrequited or not, first love is like a drug. It’s all consuming and all encompassing. If it doesn't make or break you, it definitely does change you. It trains you, sets expectations and if you're lucky, it shows you not only what you're capable of mentally but also emotionally. And when this love is lost, which happens more often than not, you grow the fuck up. Maybe you’ll leave a part of you behind and maybe you’ll take a part of them with you. But you pick up the pieces, pull yourself together and you move on. And you tell yourself the one universal truth - you will be alright. Tough times don't last, tough people do and you will repeat this to yourself till you actually are all right.

  1. I beg to differ here...

    Some "Fall in love", or is it most?

    Once someone has learnt to be ready to soar in all conditions, then love never breaks, nor a loss is felt. This impulse to soar, once it has sunk in, stability rules, agreed it might not be the group(society) norm. Society could tie you down. Sometimes forgetting to forgive yourself can be the root of all pain... Some day when you realize ( in case you have not already ) you might correct me and say most fall in love.

    Usually this happens to old grandpa/granny (experience?) . Love is the condition of mind, like happiness... May you soar with poise at all times.

  2. Found something more apt -- “Love is not something your heart falls into, but something that picks it up and sets it soaring.”

    This is how I have seen, felt and wish it to be. Time/Life validates and corrects our philosophies, it always has...

    Adios for now.

  4. Dear AMS,

    first and foremost, thank you so much for your comments. It's made my day!

    However, I beg to differ, i am not being negative here... all i'm saying is it changes you - once something so beautiful has touched you, you'll never be the same... that is all i was trying to convey here :)
