On First Loves


And Final Flings.

We never forget the excitement and pain associated with our first loves, the ones who – in that moment – got away, until Mr./Ms. Right came along, and the whirlwind of emotions associated with those memories become fleeting and eventually replaced by permanence and compatibility. And yet lessons learned from one’s first exposure to that thang called love - responsible for song lyrics, memorable movie quotes, and keeping Kleenex in business - stay with us through our children’s children first love so that we can, in some way, contribute meaningful “remember when’s” and “one day you’ll realize” in their own moments of despair. Enjoy!

  1. No escaping the 'final fling' that returns to you in a dream, either. Lets you rewrite history-getting it right this time! And thank goodness it's only a dream, because really, it wasn't so great in the first place or it still would be. So much better from a distance.No dirty socks in my dreams!!!! But no warm arms, either, when I'm down and out.
