Good morning! It is time again to get out of bed and make sure that today is another great day! May be a day were you can see that your next love deserves more credit than your first one. We all make a big deal about firsts when it comes to romance, first kisses, first dates, first times, and don’t forget that wistful, reminiscent sigh of remembrance old people let out when they recall their first loves. Don’t get me wrong, your first love is great, but it also generally leads to that first gut wrenching, soul sucking heartbreak. Everyone knows it sucks to get your heart broken. Maybe you were naïve with your first love. Maybe you had no real understanding of the fact that essentially, all love stories end and many of them end badly. So, maybe your first heartbreak caught you off guard. Maybe you were so innocent and so pure that your heart actually ripped out at the hand of someone you really trusted. Or, maybe you were like me, who fell in love completely by accident and felt like an idiot when that heart smashing sledgehammer finally did its dirty work. And then, well, shit. When your first love (or any other) ends, insecurities are abound. Are you undesirable? Think you have a bad personality? Though none of those are true. The truth remains that you weren’t good enough for that person to love you any longer. Regardless, there’s a reason this love is called your first love, not your last. So, here’s a toast to the next love as it really never get due credit in our romantic timelines. Cheers to the next love because is the ones who really matter, even more so than the first. Your next love is the one who came along and saved your heart after it was smashed. When you thought you were tragically imperfect, impossible and perhaps, unloveable, your next love gave you the opportunity to love and be loved once more. The great thing about next loves is that they are often unexpected. Perhaps you swore you would never love again or were timid about finding someone new after things went sour the last time around. All loves are different, of course, and your next will surely be different from your previous one. Perhaps your next love will pale in comparison to your first love. Then again, maybe your next love will feel like so much more than your first. It doesn’t matter, what does matter is the fact that you have had love and heartbreak but have been able to love after heartbreak. A second love gives you reason to continue to believe in love, but more importantly, it gives you perspective. Love is not only about having someone or about being in a relationship. Love is an ability that you have and no person or heartbreak, no coming or going of a significant other, can extinguish that ability. You fell in and out of love once and survived, then, you found the ability to fall in love again. So, if and when that next love passes, you will know that heartbreak does not destroy, you keep going. Remember, being in love, or not being in love, does not make your heart beat. Others do not define your ability to give love. You, and only you, do. And that’s a pretty powerful thing. youtu.be/96MiYk9VYvc
