Of course there are opportunities everyday for doing something for the first time.

I do realize that today's the first time I made up a story in my head just by looking at 3 healthy tall trees, 1 dying old tree and a baby tree outside the canteen window, I trully find joy in all that, I really, really do.

But there are always some specific things that we want to try for the first time again, like I said, first kiss or even the first time I bled, etc.

In a way, all kinds of first times are important. First sex experience, first sip of beer, first A you got in school, first time you see a person wearing pink on the street... For the love of Aphrodite, they are first times afterall. Then again I also think they can be so different. Some first times make you smile, some first times make you frown, some first times change your life, but I am not saying the first times that I will forget today next year are not important.

I don't know, in my head someone keeps telling me that there's a difference between first times that I had and first times that I haven't had...

With the memory of other first times we have had already, we encounter and look at other first times in a different way from how we would as a blank piece of paper. It's like looking at things through a pair of coloured glasses, things just aren't the same. Maybe it's the purity of kids who are uncontaminated by the reality or even of animals which are unpolluted by 'civilisation' that I'm looking for.

Eh I'm not being very coherent, hope y'all get what I'm trying to say-
