First love. I don't even know if I ever had one. Not for real, anyway.
There have been a number of "girl friends" which have come and gone over the years.
By and large I eventually became repulsed by the sexual proclivities of some of these women.
They were all pretty much only out for a single thing from me and were willing to become a bonafide spousal unit for regular access to it.
Forget about it.
Today is National First Love Day.
It happens each September 18 and was designed to trigger those head over heels feelings we have all had over initial attractions, first dates, and a spark within which blossoms into love.
It is a time for reminiscing. A time for looking back on what was. The origins of the day remain obscure but the notion is pure and heart warming to a tee. Love and emotion are certainly worth pursuing unless those experiences have proven bad for you personally.
I have loved and won. I have loved and lost. However, I do not recall my own "first love". Perhaps there were so many that I merely forgot who came first !
Anyway happy National First Love Day to you ...
And I hope that your memories of your first love are warm and tender.
