Well, I imagine to get over your first love, you just have to be determined to do so. Be determined to carry on, to love, to live, and just carry on. God knows what I'm gonna do if my bf broke up with me now, but seeing as we've done the break up thing once, I know last time was horrible and I was so completely destroyed for the very short time of 2 months. And I know if it happens again, I'm determined for that to never happen again, and I'm determined to be happy again, and to live again, and to love again.
I hope I never have to cross that bridge.
And as for getting over my first crush, whom I thought was my first love but turned out he wasn't - can't have been - it took me a year, and to this day I still have a soft spot for him. Actually gonna meet him this week for the first time in two years - now that's gonna be interesting lol. But how I got over him - I dunno - just cried a lot and, well, time. There's nothing that can make you feel better except time, really, and sometimes even time doesn't heal completely.
