Marriage is a sacred one. The decision you make to marry would really affect your future. Hence, it is important to choose the best person you spend your life with.

There is a saying that goes “first love never dies” and this was proven by a netizen named Aika Ota Paglinawan who posted her marriage with her first love.

Aika’s now-husband became her ex-boyfriend. They have been separated for 9 years. They started their love story at a young age, but they called it quits. They were separated in their early 20’s, despite knowing each other since 2010.

The split was a mutual decision to “give each other space, grow in their own way and discover their own perspective without each other” as what Paglinawan narrated.

“Thank you for opening the whole new world for me. You changed my life with hardly any effort. You secured a spot in my heart like you have no plans of ever leaving. Thank you for making me feel a love like no other,” wrote Aika.

“Thank you for making me feel that I am the luckiest and most beautiful girl in the world. I love you so much and I cannot imagine what life would be if we hadn’t met,” she quoted.

At the end of her post, she left an inspirational message to everyone to not lose hope because the right person will come at the right time.

When it comes to relationships, there is no way of knowing who you will end up.

Does Aika’s statement give you another perspective of what love is? Please feel free to jot down your thoughts.
