Day 3

Day 3:  My first love...

Hmmm.... this is going to be a difficult subject to write about.  Only because I can't exactly pinpoint my first love.  And does first love mean the first relationship I had where love was returned?  Or does it mean MY first love-- the person I first loved, even unrequited?  I'm not sure.

Even so, I often go back and forth in defining feelings I've had for boys in the past.  I suppose this is why I'm having such a hard time deciding who my first love is. After relationships I've always questioned myself.   Did I really love them?  Or did I just think I loved them?  Was I in love?  Or did I just love them as a best friend?

For as long as I can remember, I've been the girl that falls for the guy best friend.  And while I agree with Emily (that you should marry your best friend and most great relationships start with friendship), I often found myself in relationships that just weren't satisfying.  These guys were my best friends and we always had a blast, but most of the time it was missing that spark.

I had several crushes and one-week-relationships during the middle school years.  Was one of them my first love?  I dunno.  My first relationship or real-life boyfriend was in 9th grade with a boy named Alex... who remained one of my best friends throughout all our high school years.  I know, imagine that?

We had a dramatic 15-year-old break up and my heart was broken.  I suppose I'll give him my first love credit. :)

Well all loves are different, and each love story is unique. And a "first love" is usually something that, at the time, you thought was a first love, but looking back (after years and many lessons learned), you realize that you didn't love them--at least, not with the love you know now.

I always say, when referring to my "first love", that I loved him as much as a 15 year old could. Is that the same as the other, more meaningful relationships I had after that? No. Is it the same as the relationship I'm currently in? No. But it was love nonetheless.

So, give Alex credit, and give yourself credit. I know you, and so I know that you must have loved him to the best of your ability back then, because that's just what you do. =)

Texture - there is no such thing as a pearl with a perfect surface.
The beads come in many different colors, sizes, materials,
and even shapes (you'd think that all beads are cylinders, but you'd be surprised
to find bead shaped like dragons). Have your necklace design embrace your creation with carefully chosen
color and balance.

Polymers in the cleaning product used in this process encapsulate or "crystalise" dirt particles into
dry residue after which will be removed at the end of the
process. As can be seen from the above applications, cleaners of
this type have a wide variety of uses. The only weight setting on your carper at the roller brush is
the weight of the nozzle itself.

Matching to the pin buckle design and the unique
square hour marking with dazzling metal light, it created a confident and fashionable design of rock and roll music, magnificent yet
personalized. They choose brand name designer watches that double as status symbols.

length of your arm and to compliment delicate dress styles and fabrics.
