First love leaves a hard impression on our hearts, but I am not convinced that it is the truest love. When you are young you see the world with such an innocence, simplistic and I think reality is foggy. Regrets are a hard bite to chew, but I think you are right on! Mom and that person are totally different now and she is remembering what they were. I guess the good news is that love can happen more than once.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05489783327030871696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148563114167420638.post-13890454883598007652010-06-11T21:51:30.251-06:002010-06-11T21:51:30.251-06:00Girl, for "life's little musings," t...Girl, for "life's little musings," this is a seriously sweet piece of writing.<br /><br />I feel things, I fear, too passionately, with maybe even too much love. <br /><br />I, too, went to a movie last night with my mom (Robin Hood). My 2 sisters also joined us. And guess who were the 2 people crying throughout it? My mom and I.*https://www.blogger.com/profile/06484208765656281917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148563114167420638.post-21904456937413611522010-06-11T10:14:24.404-06:002010-06-11T10:14:24.404-06:00Beautiful.

I think it is important to realize that Elinor did fall into love just as passionately as Marianne did. The only difference is that Marianne was vocal, and even unmannered, about her feelings. <br /><br />You are like Elinor. Beautiful, smart, wise, and sisterly. You will find your Edward. Until then enjoy the storms, because they really are beautiful.<br /><br />PPS. Col. Brandon was a 'second husband'. Which is not too shabby if you ask me. He is my very favorite of the Jane Austen heroes.Rie Piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09565852086772209109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148563114167420638.post-71956139097632617822010-06-10T14:46:48.043-06:002010-06-10T14:46:48.043-06:00Very good post.

The great thing about that, Brooke, is you will have your first love as deeply and as intensely as anyone, but you will have eyes to see things and a heart to feel things that adolescents have/had no idea about. And that is enviable in its own rite. <br />What a beautiful thing to share an evening with your mom. I loved this post.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14420444706918561965noreply@blogger.com
