First Love And First Heartbreak

I wish I could tell you my first love was the girl next door with purple hair and ripped jeans.
But My first love was myself at age 8
When I looked in the mirror and didn't see anything wrong with the way I looked, when the only scars I had were from scraped knees and drugs were just jelly beans and back then if a girl didn't like me back I'd forget about her in a week.

I wish I could tell you my first heartbreak was when I turned eighteen and the girl I fell in love with fell for someone else. But my first heartbreak was when I turned thirteen and realized how the fat hanging on the side of my stomach bothered me and the scars I had were self inflicted and drugs meant smoking weed at 2am just to feel happy. And when I found out that the girl in my class didn't like me back I started not liking myself too.

I was my first love and
sadly my first heartbreak.

Tell me about your first love and heartbreak... 💔
