Summary

This quote suggests that experiencing first love is like a protective measure against heartbreak or disappointment in subsequent romantic relationships. Just as a vaccination provides immunity to a disease, the intensity and lessons learned from a first love can serve as a shield that prevents one from experiencing the same level of hurt in future relationships. The initial experience of love can provide valuable insights, emotional growth, and resilience, leading to a more cautious and guarded approach in subsequent romantic endeavors.
