Teen love? What would be sweeter? We are all familiar with William Shakespeare's infamous play, Romeo and Juliet. It was a perfect example of young love. As Juliet, the main female cast has not yet reached the age of fourteen at the beginning of the play. Romeo's age however, was not disclosed. Many believed he was older than Juliet. Unfortunately, their love story ends in tragedy.
These days, we see people as young as twelve and thirteen in love. However, just like in marriage, there is no perfect relationship. Loss of first love can be a very devastating experience to most teenagers. Pain after break up can be very crushing. It is important that teenagers learn how to cope up with failed relationship. One way to agree up is by reading inspirational quotes about moving on. Following are top choices for teens.
"Loving someone is setting them free, letting them go." By Kate Winslet
Kate Winslet is a famous Hollywood star that many teenagers looked up to. For people who are not familiar with her, she was the female leading actor in the popular film "Titanic." The film also features love between two people of different state of life. Going back to the quote, she stated a very basic rule on love. People should never be selfish especially with love. If you love, do not keep the person to yourself. Set that person free. Holding the person you love in bondage can only make him or her go further away from you. Moreover, this quote by Herman Hesse has a resemblance with that of Winslet. Herman Hesse quoted, "Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go." Certainly, love is unselfish.
"Time heals griefs and quarrels, for we change and are no longer the same persons." By Pascal
As they say, there is no permanent thing in this world except change. We all move on, we all grow. Every time we grow wiser and tougher. In due time, all wounds would heal. In life, people experience different things that would change the person's perspective and attitude towards life. If we are dramatic last year, we will be less dramatic and more practical and sensible.
"Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. Unknown
Kids love to play with monkey bars. Crossing over can be a bit painful. Similar to any failed relationship, when you want to move on with life, experiencing pain and suffering is inevitable. You can cry a little and even get depressed. Neverheless, at the end of the day, you will surpass all of it and be able to move on with life, as you should be.
"Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on." By Les Brown
Learning how to forgive is a breath of fresh air. It helps you to unload and move on easier. Having negative thoughts can only slow you down. You will see that negative thoughts will make you bitter. Surely, you are more than that.
"Every exit is an entry somewhere." By Tom Stoppard
Yes, this is true. It means that breaking up is not the end of the world. Perhaps, you will meet someone better along the way. Do not stop believing in love.
Teen love is a memorable experience for everyone. We all went through it. However, we all have different coping mechanism. Do not be too hard on yourself. Perhaps, this is a chance for you to know yourself better. Having supportive family and friends can make moving on easier. If you want to be inspired, read the quotes above and surround yourself with positive things.
