As the days change, so do people and our perspectives. The people that come and go in our lives are unfortunately some of the most influential. I know that at one time or another we’ve all been in love, and then at some point heart ache. Luckily for some of us, there’s usually someone there to pick us up when we’ve fallen. Sometimes that’s our second love.
Our second loves are the people who teach us some of the more valuable lessons in life, whether we like to admit it or not. These are the people who teach us to love again, and what it means to be loved. By no means am I saying that a man or a woman should be the reason for internal happiness, but I am saying that you tend to find yourself once you find out what you truly deserve.
These are the loves that surprise you. The ones that make you wonder what you’ve been doing with your entire life prior to being with them. They make you crazy and irrational, but they also show you what you believe in. They save you from having total meltdowns and blasting John Mayer. Instead they make you scream Taylor Swift in your car and brag to all of your friends. These are people that give us confidence again. My second love changed my life. He made it possible to realize what I deserved. He was the one who understood me and allowed me to heal. He taught me who I truly am as a person and what it means to be loved. My second love made me rethink what love really was. He allowed me to become the person I am today with no repercussions or judgement.
I guess what I’m really trying to say is who cares about our first loves. So let's give it up for our second loves. You made it possible to believe in love again, and we’re all forever grateful for you.
