My first kiss I regret. My first date I regret. But I do not regret the choice to say I love you for the first time. Even though that was the melodramatic story. Even though that one ended badly. I don’t regret it. Because that time .. that night, I was myself. I found my feelings and honored them. I loved myself enough to trust what I felt and say what I needed to say. And I chose to be myself. I was present as I delivered my awkward speech and felt each pound of my beating heart. I had never been more of myself than in that moment. . Stephen Lovegrove
About This Quote

Acknowledge your past mistakes so you can move forward with grace and humility. Acknowledge your failures so you can try again. Don’t let past mistakes or failures hold you back. When you realize how great it feels to say “I love you,” don’t let that moment slip away. That is the best first kiss, date, or first time of many to come.
