The Carrie Diaries

Love is something we wait for.
We imagine our first kiss,
first sex,
or our first I love you.
But we never imagine our first heart break;
Maybe because it's even too painful to even imagine.
But in a way, the pain of love is what truly changes us.
It's the losing of love that makes us who we are.
The lost of a parent,
of your virginity,
of who you thought you might be,
of your innocence.
Those loses are perhaps our first steps into adulthood.
Life gets more complicated.
But it's also filled with promise,
and the possibility of opening your heart to new beginnings,
and new dreams,
and new places.
