I would say: “Stay. Feel all of it. Let them break your heart a little. Let them show you the stars. Because one day, you will love again. And the second time, you will be wiser. But you will never be this innocent again. So stay.” Mi primer amor was not my last love. It was not my best love. But it was my first love. We were wrong

That first love is the anvil upon which we forge our future hearts. You learn what it feels like to give too much. You learn what it feels like to receive too little. You learn that love does not automatically equal understanding. if you hadn't loved them first

My first love taught me my own capacity. I didn’t know I could feel that much joy until them. I didn’t know I could feel that much sadness until losing them. They introduced me to the full range of my own humanity.

For that, I am grateful. If I could go back to the sweaty-palmed, nervous version of myself standing at that locker, I wouldn’t give them a warning. I wouldn’t say, “This ends in tears, so run.”
