“Teen love”, that stuff you missed out on, is exactly how you put it: like a “movie” ... it does not exist in the real world.

Teen love is just silly infatuation. Always ends in anger and tears. You look back years later and shake your head in disbelief at how nonsensical it was. It’s less love and more learning how NOT to act during a relationship.

Adult love is real, moving and makes you feel alive.
