Do you remember your first love? They can exert an enduring hold over us, an emotional legacy that often outweighs the experience of first love itself. Many of us return to our first loves mentally and emotionally (and sometimes physically) at different points in our lives. Their legacy shapes our mature relationships too.
With this in mind, we want to hear about your first loves – why they mattered, whether and when you outgrew them, and if you still think about them now. Maybe the passage of time changed the way you think of them, or maybe you never think about them at all. Maybe you remained friends, or got back together much later in life.
