"People Can't Know We're Going Out"

Share Your Story: My First Love

From Cristie

Who Was It With?

Aaron

When Did You Realize It was Love?

When we were laying down with each other in my room.

What Did It Feel Like?

It felt amazing. Every time I'm around him I get happy. He is all I think about. Being in love is putting their feelings and what they care about before yourself. I've never been in love before until now. It's the best thing ever and I couldn't imagine life without him.

What Happened Next?

It's kinda weird, we both said we were going out before we really started going out. We are always together until he has to go home because his house curfew. We were just friends for a while and then we started going out. My mom knows we are going out and a few other people. Where he lives he isn't allowed to talk to me or have nothing to do with me but he still does. A lot of people can't know we are going out because of the age difference so we have to wait till I'm 18. Which sucks. We want everyone to know, but it is what it is, my mother is okay with the age difference but not a lot of people would be. When he gets off parole he is moving in. I can't wait. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Lessons Learned

  • I'm so glad I'm in love.
  • Fall in love with someone close to your age so she/he don't get in trouble.
  • Falling in love with someone older can be a problem cause she/he might not feel the same way because she/he don't want to get in trouble.
  • If you are falling in love with someone, go for it and don't let no one stop you or tell you different unless it's a situation that can hurt you or the other.
  • Being in love is the best thing ever, once you got him/her don't let go or leave the one you love for the one you like 'cause the one you like will leave you for the one they love.
  • Stay strong and keep holdin on.
