Before I knew my first boyfriend, I was dying to finally know what it was like. My first “relationship” I’d had being 10 years old. I had been so convinced it was necessary to connect on new levels with other kids I was “attracted to”. BULLSHIT. Enjoy not being in a relationship unless it’s the absolute right person.
Aged 16 I had my first real relationship. I wouldn’t say it was too early, but back then my definition of love was different than today. What I was searching for, was appreciation and maybe attention. We all look for someone to be loved by. It’s just that sometimes we forget they should love us for who we are already, not the potential they see in us. After 18 months of extra high highs and very low lows, I still was convinced he was the one. I had accepted, that this would be my reality in life, even though I felt deep down, that something was off, like really off. After graduation I flew to Mexiko and 5 days of perspective shift changed my whole life.
