Love is a unique thing. It’s different for everybody. For some people, to love someone means you would cross worlds just to give them a better chance at life. For others, it’s just giving them things. What was your first experience of love?

It would be when I met my family but I would say when I truly found love was when I first met Loki, my dog. He means the world to me.

With books. I LOVE to read. I've been reading ever since
I was a toddler and I won't stop. But I have a problem. I don't have any new books! Any recommendations? I'm fine with any genre but dystopia is my favorite.

I have the same situation, I love books. Here are my favourites: The Ranger Apprentice series, Rick Riordan books (Heroes of Olympus, Magnus Chase, Trails of Apollo etc) but these are mostly for people around the ages of 10-14

So I'm just a teenager, so I haven't really experienced much love. I mean I love my parents, but it doesn't feel super deep or anything. I am in love with one of my best friends, though, and I have been for a really long time. Our parents were friends before we were born, so we've known each other for our whole lives. We've had a few 'moments,' I guess, but nothing like kissing or anything. Other then this, I love books and I always will.

Well... I first experienced love when...well...it was a...really...boring...love? Idk. How do you really tell when you fall in love? Most ppl...kids...like my age 12, would have a crush then not like them anymore. So if that wasn’t love...then what is?

Love knows many forms but I didn’t know the love of a real partner until my husband. I’d had other romantic relationships and had even been married before but in almost all of those circumstances I was more of a convenience to the other person than an equal. That’s a consequence of a very messed up background (I was not unloved as a child but there were some serious and untreated mental health issues in my family that left me with codependent behavior). The man I am married to today has never made me feel as though I am less than him. He also loves me enough to call me out when I’m being stubborn or reckless. I don’t feel as though I’m being taken for granted, and I’m free to explore my own interests. After over twenty years in and out of controlling, manipulative, and outright abusive relationships, it is liberating to learn that love can be as simple as someone just letting me be me.

When I met my boyfriend. I never felt love from my parents and certainly not from my previous abusive partner. It’s crazy to me that he sees me the way he does, if fact he told me that if I could see myself through his eyes I’d understand how amazing I was...I am immeasurably lucky

There’s a back story.
So there was this cat that would hang around our house and we would fear it. Eventually we found out the cat was a girl, because she had 4 babies under our porch. We kept 2, and named them Zippy and Shadow. Shadow was a runt and we didn’t think she would make it, but she did.
Anyway my first love was with Zippy, because she was always there to cuddle with me, and whenever I got in my bed at night it wouldn’t take her long to come cuddle. Eventually we had to get rid of the cats, and I was heart broken. I now know I’m a cat person though

I once met this guy when I was 17, he was 22. I find it difficult to fall in love because I just can't let go enough but I did care for him. He just a gentle giant (6"5), basketballer. He was pretty cute. A perfect guy. He said the cutest things. He did a lot of corny things but let's face it, what girl doesn't like corny stuff (I suspect he did that because he saw my stash of romance novels, and yes he read some of them and did some things). He was one of those people you saw and their eyes bore all their emotions. After a year of dating, I had no more romantic feelings for him, so I decided to cut things off. It was difficult, really difficult. It's one thing to see a grown ass man cry, it's another thing to see a grown ass gentle giant cry while knowing that tiny me caused those tears. It rent my heart in two. I had half a mind to tell him I was kidding, but I realised I would do more damage if I stayed in the relationship while pretending I still cared for him. To be honest, I'm low-key kind of jealous of the girl who is going to fall in love him (hopefully, he'll love her back) because he's a really good person and he deserves unconditional love. Now when people say you never forget your first love, I now understand. He's going to hold special place in my heart. I haven't talked to him in a while now but I suspect it's good for the both of us.
