yeah fucking kids are convinced theyre so deeply in love at like age 16-17 and dont ever want to let go of each other. that's just an emotional attachment. then when youre older, you look back and think "welp, i was a tool". every now and again people do stay together forever, but it's rare. and not something you should expect out of your highschool relationship. some of the biggest regrets ive heard from chick friends have been clinging onto boyfriends when they hit college and they ended up missing out on a lot of fun times and a lot of fresh opportunities just cause it was too hard to let go of the highschool sweetheart.
in fact, when i think about it, a lot of regrets people have in general are from when they were in college. didnt jump on opportunities, didn't date that person, didn't study hard enough / dropped out, didnt socialize and enjoy it enough, didn't stay active and got fat, didn't this, didn't that. don't let that be you because you feel you peaked in highschool. it's alllll about what you do in college, and it will define you for the rest of your life.. the shit that you do, and the shit that you don't do. so don't let a fucking stupid teenage boyfriend/girlfriend get in the way of who you're going to ultimately become, unless you know 100% that it's real and it's true love - that your lives are going in the same direction and you are destined to be happy together.
