1st

After many futile attempts to import my old posts, I’m throwing in the towel – for now – and finally writing a post.

With this being the first post, I’ll try to start off on a positive note. I think doing the first “right” is an obsession that many people share – the first time will always be that definitive event that we will always remember, being the make or break as to how we’ll interpret future similar events. Whether it be the emphasis we place in witnessing a baby’s first tooth, first step, first word, to recounting your first crush, first kiss, first love…and so on, we generally don’t forget these moments in our lives. The firsts are always remembered because it opens up a whole new world for us to experience, exploring a realm that was previously unknown. In turn, we build up so much expectation for the first (think first date, first performance etc) to be perfect, memorable, special, that we forget the first is only a sign of many that will follow, when our repeated exposure hone our experience. The truly special events will always shine through in the myriad of memories that we’ll build throughout our lives. So on that note, I hope I’ll have plenty of goodies to share on the blog, and not get judged based on this first one!
