No.
I got thinking about young people and love and don't get me wrong, I strongly believe you can find love young. I, myself, am a product of very young love and i've watched it succeed and stand the test of time, so yes I believe it can work.
In today's generation however, it seems to becoming increasingly prevalent to find the "partner of your dreams" before you even begin actually living. To some extent, I can understand why having your heart broken or complete at a young age is appealing and it all contributes to your words of wisdom in later life because in a way, you started experiencing more at younger age. Having said that, I believe thats the major flaw in young love. You may look back at those times with a fresh perspective as an adult and learn from those experience and carry them forward in life, but I feel like this aspect of our young lives are way too concentrated on that aspect of life experience and as a consequence we waste our years of youth on people that are also trying to figure themselves out.
I guess what i'm trying to say is that we need to focus more on ourselves and how we feel about ourselves rather than on what others are feeling for you or about you. I'm a strong believer that time tests friendships and relationships and the people that are just passing through are just that. It's the people that stick around you need to focus on. The ones that want to keep you around. The ones you want to keep around. Those are the people you grow to love.
I guess this probably sounded bitter and I guess this did come from a bitter place, but i'm content in the fact that I didn't "miss out" on valuable life experiences because I had my fair share - just maybe not in that particular aspect of life experience.
I'm still growing as a person. We all are. I don't want to rush love, because I know that it will soo be worth the wait when it finally arrives.
For now, i'm going to be selfish and focus on myself.
Bub-bye for now bloggers <3
