Toa Heftiba

My first love happened when I was 16 years old.

He was older, funny, and charming, and be became my very best friend.

There was an instant connection when I first met him.

There was a spark that could immediately cut the tension of meeting each other for the first time.

I loved the way he presented himself as the leader jot down.

I loved his approach to life.

He was the strongest boy Ive ever met, physically and emotionally.

He loved his family so much, and he could cook a feast with a snap of a finger.

He had everything I wanted in someone I could plan a future with.

But we would also fight like cats and dogs.

When wed argue over the little things, it would become World War III.

There would be moments when Id be tempted to instantly throw in the towel.

Our arguments seemed never-ending.

A year and a half later, I decided to break up with him.

No matter how much I loved him, I knew it had to be done.

I knew that I couldnt take another day of my energy being drained from the countless arguments wed have.

I knew it was for the bestI wasnt his person, and I had to be okay with that.

The truth is, I will always love that boy.

I put others before myself; reading and writing bring my life peace.
