Heart It
The first relationship you have is both the sweetest, best thing in the world, and the hardest, most soul-crushing thing in the world. Your first real relationship usually has a profound impact. It's hard, if not impossible, to forget the first time you love someone and they love you back. It's also a period in which you learn about yourself, about other people (well, usually a lot about one person in specific) and what means to be in a relationship.
When it comes to your first relationship, everything is brand new and because of that, it's intensified. And while you're in it, you may not see just how much learning is going on, but when it's over you can look back and realize every little bit of it was a lesson in life and love. You are forever changed after your first relationship, and changed in a good way. You have a better idea of what you want not just from a relationship, but for yourself. Your first relationship defines you in many ways and prepares you for what's ahead. It also teaches you what it means to feel the pangs of heartache for the first time, too.
Every relationship has a phase and not every relationship is meant to last for ever. Break-ups in a relationship is part and parcel of life and coming out of a bad break-up is your responsibility at the end of the day. Let us go ahead and look at these lessons to learn from your first love.
It teaches you that life is not a fairy tale
No matter how much we hate to admit it, life is not always a carbon copy of our favorite fairy tale. Couples don't live happily ever after all the time. Unlike in movies, relationships in actual life are hard work. Falling in love may be effortless and spontaneous but sticking up sure is not. As princes turn into frogs, you learn to embrace life and hope for the best.
