“Ninety-nine percent of the world's lovers are not with their first choice ”
— Willie Nelson
Simplified Meaning:
Most people in the world do not end up being with the first person they ever fell in love with. For various reasons, like personal differences or circumstances, those early relationships often do not last. Think of it like your favorite toy as a child; it was the best then, but as you grew older, your tastes and needs changed, and you moved on to different things that suited you better. This idea applies to love too. Over time, people learn about themselves and what they really need in a partner. Meeting different people helps individuals understand what truly makes them happy and compatible in a relationship. Thus, it's common for one's first love not to be their lifelong partner, but through these experiences, they come closer to finding a relationship that truly works for them.
