We love love.

New love, young love, mature love, the love of a mother for her child and the love between best friends—in all its forms, love brings us joy, hope and happiness. 

First loves can be particularly memorable. The newness, clarity and intensity of a first love often make it very special. 

Some experience their first love in their teens, others in their 70s. Some find first love with the birth of a child or with their best friend and soulmate. 

Today, we’re inviting you to share your first-love story with us, whatever it looks like. 

Tell us how you met, how you felt or why you love them. We want to hear every detail. Just drop your story in the comments below. 

Don’t want to share your first-love story? Feel free to share your new love, current love or best love story instead.

(We may highlight some of these stories in a future post, so please share with that in mind.)
