Do you remember your first love?
It’s like being in the wildest dream, except everything you once imagined is real. The fairytale you once yearned for is finally real and it is happening to you. But, it is also a bond that will eventually break you. A relationship that eventually ends and leaves you devastated.
It will make you regret your choices, force you to give up on love and refrain you from falling for someone ever again.
But, that’s the thing about life. It’s random. You’ll never know who you’ll run into. You’ll never know when you’ll fall in love again. That is why, once your second love shows up and you fall for someone who isn’t afraid to love you back, you’ll finally understand why we should never give up on love.
Here’s why falling in love for the second time will be better than you’re first love:
1. YOU BECOME STRONGER
Your first love may have broken you, but it had also made you a wiser, stronger and a better person. You suffered, but you learned what strength is. You learned that life will not always go as planned, therefore it is always important to be ready to accept the changes.
2. THE BOND IS DEEPER AND MORE SIGNIFICANT
You’ve already been in love, but that love was completely different from what you have now. The first love was innocent, naive and childish love. Your heart knew nothing. You were fragile. Luckily, you were strong enough to learn your lesson and understand the dos and don’ts before falling for the second time.
3. YOU FEEL SAFER
Your first love shattered your heart, but the second love is here to mend it and glue all the pieces together. You were in an unpredictable and confusing place in life, but falling for the second time convinced you that you shouldn’t give up on love. It made you feel safer and more loved than you ever felt before. That sense of security and certainty you once hoped for.
4. YOUR SECOND LOVE GIVES YOU EVERYTHING YOUR FIRST LOVE FAILED TO OFFER
Everything you once missed in the first relationship, is simply there now. You fell in love for the second time and discovered that love truly exists. You got to learn how important compromises are. You finally got the quality time with your partner you needed. You finally found the person who was meant for you. That is why the second love is much better than your first. It gives you everything you once dreamt of. It shows you that if you really believe, even those unimaginable, fairytale-like things are possible.
5. YOU FIND JOY IN LITTLE THINGS
You met the love of your life. And this time it’s true. It’s nothing like the first time. And you feel it inside your soul. Because now you are more comfortable, safer and wiser. You can finally enjoy finding happiness in every little thing around you.
6. YOU ARE COMPLETELY COMMITTED TO EACH OTHER
When you lose someone, you realize how important it is to hold onto the person you love more than words can say. And when you finally fall in love for the second time and find that person, the need for commitment and togetherness rises even higher.
7. YOU FIT LIKE TWO PERFECT PIECES OF A PUZZLE
The first love is naive and innocent, and it happens in a blink of an eye. You don’t really know what you need, all you know is that the person next to you has somehow made you head over heels crazy in love with them.
But, the second time around. Oh, the second love is different. You are more mature than before, and you know exactly what you look for in a person. That is why the second love is experienced with a person who is completely compatible with you. A true soulmate.
8. EVERYTHING FEELS RIGHT
Because it just is. You once thought that you’ll never find anyone like your first love, and you were right. Because by falling in love for the second time you found exactly what you needed. Everything you didn’t get to experience the first time.
