2010: First Loves

Dear Friends,


Todat's blog is going to be about first loves. Now normally, I have not talked about first loves. I'm not talking about food, toys, or any item. This is about women and being in love. If you have not heard the story let me give you the short and sweet version of this:


Back in 1994, I was a 10th grader at my alma mater: CMA High School. I had my first high school sweetheart. Her real name will be omitted but her nickname was Shelly. She was a 9th grader. Anyways, the way we met was I saved her from some asshole. Since then we were doing the high school thing. I wrote her notes and called her. Until I learned my first lesson in love and race relations. (She was white and her family was not happy with her being with a black male.) So basically, I spent my entire 10th grade year being hurt and being sad from losing someone.



I bring this horrible memory up because as I go to college and see so many 18 year olds with their high school sweethearts, I wish them happiness and hope they do not end up hating their high school sweethearts. Do I hate mines? I use to but now, I hope she's happy with her life. However, that expirience did make me question how to love someone and also if they were going to be around forever. If your reading this Shelly, email me and let's catch up on things.
