First love.
The reason why we think first love is beautiful is not because the people we first loved were actually handsome or pretty. It’s because we were unconditional, innocent, or a bit stupid at that time of first love.
And because we know that we can never go back to that young, passionate time of our day.
First love is a bit rash. Without any calculation, we throw ourselves with passion and finally come to face failure. But it’s at the same time dramatic. It comes with inexplicable feelings that we never get to experience again. So first love becomes the most dramatic moment of our lives.
It’s okay to fail. Tragic stories stay longer than happily ever after. It’s nice to have that wonderful story as one chapter of one’s life.
After the romance, the real-life comes in. Innocence gets impure, passion gets cold, and youth gets old with cleverness. So first love becomes part of one’s exhausted daily life. That’s why first love looks like can’t be accomplished. It’s because no one talks about a successful romance when first love.
