My own blood is tainted

"I loved him in way you weren’t supposed to love. I loved him jealously and spitefully. But I also loved him wholly, purely, and so deeply that that love, no matter how unwelcome it is, stills runs through my veins...."

"...You will always love your first love; I know this to be true. Something will always bind you to them no matter how many miles, or men you try to fill that space with. But that same love that connects you, also disconnects you and allows you to love others in ways you’ve never thought possible.

Your first love will define you, but it will not doom you; it will not allow you to want for him forever. It will free you to experience a more pure love, a deeper love, a whole love, all with the person who will be your true love."

This gives me hope.
I was beginning to think that M will cast a shadow over all my relationships to come, but maybe he just prepared me.
