So often, the discarded love of youth is desperately yearned for in maturity.

So often, the discarded love of youth is desperately yearned

Summary

This quote reflects on the longing that many people experience as they grow older and gain a deeper understanding of love. It suggests that the love that was discarded or lost in their youth holds a special place in their hearts, and they may yearn for it again as they mature. This could be because youth is often characterized by impulsive choices and fleeting passion, making the love of that time seem more spontaneous and exhilarating. As they age and face the realities of life, the nostalgia for past love intensifies, leaving them longing for the passion and freedom they once had.
