Star crossed (first) loves
My point is, my life would be a lot different right now if I would have gone ahead and married him. I can say that I would be miserable.
What I once thought would have been a fairy-tale of a love story of “star-crossed lovers,� was in reality the first real wake-up call of reality in my life. The end made me swear off men let alone marriage for a good couple of years. Ultimately, I got over it and it helped me wise up.
I realize now the differences in what I like and do not like in men and can pinpoint compatibility almost immediately. Call it intuition, call it a gut feeling, I can honestly say I know in the first three minutes I meet someone one-on-one if I would have enough interest to see them again in a non-platonic setting.
For those of us who aren’t fortunate enough to find the love of our lives in high school (or college for that matter), hopefully, we can go through a few who at the very least teach us something about ourselves.
