Is it normal to still miss your first love?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to still miss your first love, even years later. Missing them doesn’t necessarily mean you want to get back together or that anything is wrong with your life now.

First love can leave a big mark because it’s often tied to so many firsts: first deep feelings, first heartbreak, and a whole era of your life. You might miss the person, or the memories and version of yourself from that time—or a bit of both.

People do feel this, even when they’re happy in a new relationship or have moved on in other ways. A memory can still matter without being a sign that you should act on it. And if the feeling comes and goes, that’s normal too.
