Young love is uncomplicated, irrational and all consuming.
A source of powerful new endorphins (the feel-good chemicals that our bodies release when laugh and bond with a new partner). Oh how optimistically we can love, when our hearts have never yet been broken.
We don’t tend to inform young adults about how hard breakups can be and how to act appropriately during that time. No one ever says hey, I know it feels great now, but love is an incredibly powerful drug and once you’ve had your first hit, you’re going to find it excruciatingly painful to crash into a sea of heartache.
