Share Your Story: My First Love

From Carissa

Who Was It With?

my boyfriend <3

When Did You Realize It was Love?

When I looked into his eyes and knew I couldn't let him go.

What Did It Feel Like?

It felt real great. I always thought that I had to do certain things to fall in love, but it came naturally. Every day we got a little closer to each other. Then there it was, I couldn’t get him out of my mind, I couldn’t go a day without listening to a love song <3. I found myself doodling his name and mines all over my notebook. I couldn’t stop talking about him; all I ever did was smile. I melted in his arms :) and I still do <3.

What Happened Next?

Love remained the same, we’ve been together for a little over a year now, and I think I’m set for the rest of my life with him <3, We always tell each other everything, every single detail!, we're open with each other, we right love notes :)

Lessons Learned

  • Love comes unexpectedly, I really didn't think he'd be the one I'd fall in love with, he was really not my type, but I liked him. I got closer to him and now I'm in love with him. I learned to be open-minded and not to be so picky, love works in strange ways :)
