This post is in no way about me, it's just a thought I had.

I think it's easier for people to fall in love when they're young. There's minimal baggage and things are just generally simpler. For example, I have a few friends who still love someone in the back of their hearts and I doubt that feeling for this person will go away, regardless of any relationships afterwards. If someone is your first love, there are no thoughts EVER about loving someone previously, because they just don't exist. There are no temptations to get back that other person. And then there's life, you still live at home, still go to school, you have no career yet so people are generally on the same pane.
This is a very late post, and I am delusional and it's missing half its points but you get the idea :)

au revoir. xo
