1. It makes those who aren’t in relationships feel unloved.

When these characters fall in love, they fall hard — their story lines aren’t glossed over. They aren’t paired off with unattractive characters in an attempt to appease the audience. Their love trysts are followed intensely, rather than just mentioned briefly in passing.

A person has multiple soul mates meant to come in and out of his or her life over the years. Each serves a purpose, and once that purpose is served, the two go their separate ways, just a brief intersection on the infinite plane of life.

Do not get into a serious relationship when you’re young — I cannot stress this enough. Learn to be yourself first.

You have to pick those pieces up eventually, because the longer you leave them on the ground, the more time they have to disintegrate, and soon, they’ll stop looking they way they used to. You have to glue yourself together again, because if you don’t, soon you won’t recognize who you are anymore.

But first love is not only love. It’s not the best love, or the last love. First love is first, and it’s wonderful and amazing and new, but first is not synonymous with forever. And first is definitely not connected, whatsoever, to final.

It will be different loving you because you are not him, and he is all I knew. You’ll teach me to love loving you.

I wanted to always fall asleep next to you and wake up there too. I wanted to feel your arms wrapped around me and I wanted to lay my head on your chest and follow the beat of your heart as you slept.
