Your very First ...

Seeing that I have not indulged in the world of blogging, I thought it'd seem fitting that my first post here would touch on the oh-so-lovely idea of "your first _______". This would be my first post of an idea-centred blog, and I sincerely hope that this post would be your first of many reading occasions on my new blog. :)

I remember each and every (well, most) firsts I've had -

First day of preschool
First day of kindergarten
First day I could ride my bike
First days of many...

But the things that are most ingrained in my memory are probably my first kiss, my first crush, my first love (?) if that's even possible.

Like you, I'm still out to discover what this idea of 'love' means, what 'love' entails and requires of us, and how to go about having this 'love'.

First and foremost however, I feel like one of those defining moments, one of those "rites-of-passages" are ones when we have a sudden epiphany that someone special is near us. Oddly enough, we find ourselves thinking of them each and every day and we do everything in our power to get noticed and hope they feel the same way.

The firsts seem to always be so innocent, so fresh. Will we ever get to that point of naiveté once again? Possibly. But what I'm trying to get at is to never forget those first steps you took, the first kiss you had, the first crush you absolutely went ga-ga over.

These milestones establish your person that slowly unfolds and you'd be nothing without your first.
