If you are reading this and smiling nervously, you already know the feeling. It doesn’t matter if you are fifteen or fifty. When you hear the words “primer amor,” your chest does something funny. It tightens. Not from pain, necessarily, but from recognition. The Royal Spanish Academy defines amor as a feeling of intense affection. But my first love wasn’t just a feeling. It was a state of being .
I would say: “Stay. Feel all of it. Let them break your heart a little. Let them show you the stars. Because one day, you will love again. And the second time, you will be wiser. But you will never be this innocent again. So stay.” Mi primer amor was not my last love. It was not my best love. But it was my first love.
And there is a sacredness to the first of anything.
So tonight, raise a glass to yours. Whether they are still a friend, a stranger, or just a beautiful memory tucked away in a dusty corner of your mind. Thank them for the lesson.
It was clumsy. It was overwhelming. It was, quite frankly, a beautiful disaster. What they don’t tell you about mi primer amor is that it is rarely perfect. In fact, it is usually a mess. We didn’t know how to communicate. We confused intensity with intimacy. We thought that fighting meant we cared, and that jealousy was a form of passion.
My first love taught me my own capacity. I didn’t know I could feel that much joy until them. I didn’t know I could feel that much sadness until losing them. They introduced me to the full range of my own humanity.
