Nobody can ever forget their first relationship. No matter how pleasant or how unpleasant, no matter how serious or how casual, no matter how lasting or how short-lived, it will always hold a very significant place in our lives. In ways we may not understand, it has shaped us. There are songs about love and there are songs of heartbreak. The point is, being in love as well as being out of love for the first time, has lessons to teach that will see us through our entire lives:

7. All relationships are a two way street. It can't be all about them, it can't be all about you.
