Very interesting topic, First love ^^
Part 1: Learning corner: FOR WRITING PURPOSE ONLY
Our life has been always predictable; we went to school, we came back home, did homework and fell into sleep serenely. But one day everything goes awry. Strange feelings creep into our once imperturbable world, our cheeks blush, and we cannot help thinking about someone’s sweet smile. How ridiculous it is! And it is when love has found you for the first time.
The first love comes to each person at different periods of their lives, some in their twilight years while most in their teens. The first love- as many people believe- is just a puppy love and leaves nothing but inscrutable feelings. Is that true? The expressions of those in the first love might swing like the pendulum from this extremity to another, sometimes shockingly crazy romance to sudden silence; the awkwardness, ambivalent feelings and naivety are, however, all shared among the so-called love novices. The first love can be occasionally one-sided love, leaving in us emotional scars for awaiting an unrequited love in vain and weaving the idea of further rejections into our later life. If luckier, we might have the first love coming from both sides. But then again, the result, more often than not, might be the same. Once the realization - our partner is not always the perfect one we envisioned in the inchoate stages of love- crops up, our passion for him or her turns from wax to wane. Bitter split ups may come naturally and our used-to-be strong belief in love suffers, undeniably.
As painful as it is, the first love is cherished by most of us, though. It is known as the depository of sacred feelings, platonic but still strong. “Nothing can help us become mature as quickly as a love does!’’ Ending in either sorrows or ever-lasting bliss for lucky lovers, the first love proves a well of strength to help us move on in life with aplomb; nostalgic memories to lift us out of mundane worries- a reminder of the good old days; experience to avoid childishly hurting others and appreciate more those we might love later; inspiration to enable us to see that the world is really beautiful when love is all around. So many good things are the relics of the first love, and so why don’t you bathe yourself in love right now? Let’s love and be loved, guys!
2. Questions to ponder:
•Share your first- love story or other people’s impressive first-love stories you know? Have you or they changed lot since then?
•Children nowadays love at very young age. Why is that? What do you think about this tendency?
•While some think first love is the only real love; others say it is just the puppy love. What is your view on it?
•Do you think the first love will influence your next love and your spouse?
•Do you believe in the idea “Every love is the first love”
•It is believed that first love is purely platonic. Is that true?

I think, Rachel ^^ understood everything you did write her, understood the reasons made you do like that, you tried to keep her.
Just my own idea but there is one thing i know surely, we can not change the past. Even though our memories about something are incredibly beautiful, except only tiny thing, they all passed away. Maybe, God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting only right one to make us know how precious he(she) is in oder to keep them to be by side us forever...
For me, i haven't found out my real love
Anyway, love always is interesting topic. It makes our life be more beautiful, be more worthy and it's also the reason why we have to live, have to work and have to exist
Hope you did have a nice day, John. See you.
