FIRSTS
I wonder if everyone's experiences are the same, if you went wide eyed, heart sinking a little and in complete adoration, the first time you looked out an airplane window and saw the sun with her guard let down..Lounging in a bed of fluffy cotton candy
Or if you were thinking about consequences when you stepped off that platform hundred's of feet above ground,releasing your body and soul into all the things you've been taught to dread.
Or that first time when your swimming instructor trusted you to take your first dive into the depths of despair as the makers of Barbie once phrased.
Or that time when you wished an earthquake would gubble you up, the first time you had an awkward moment in preschool.
Lots of First's are unforgettable
Except being a first child saddled with a mountain of expectations from the moment your umbilical cord is unplugged from your mum
Lots of First's are purposeful
Except being a clueless six year old wondering why you are asigned vice parenting role to an annoying younger sibling. Lots of First's fill you with dread
Especially when there's an invisible poster sign in the living room that instructs everyone to look up to you. Because this a First, it doesn't have a regular ending.
I wonder if every First's experiences are the same.
First time I played in warm summer rain
First time I realized that you are free to truly do anything in your power, and no one can stop you - as long as you're willing to accept all consequences.
First time I realized I was different than everyone else in my neighborhood.
First time I played a 10 page piece of classical music (Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2) from memory at a piano recital.
First time I went skiing (and last time lololol)
First time I saw a shooting star.
those are my firsts to share with you :)
And a lot more amazing firsts to come... Thank you for sharing
First time I went to the beach and felt the taste of salt water.
First time I was thrown off the field and broke my hand for the first time.
First time I saw a naked woman I was scared as hell.
First time I went in and it felt like I was in heaven.
First time I fell in love, I think it was with a nicely tasty chicken 😊.
I've had a lot of first times but it wasn't as burdensome as being the first child. I always had someone to look up to, someone who's footsteps I could follow.
I guess it's different for everybody..the first child thing..but first experiences I think are the same..the nostalgia
Yeah it sure is different for everyone. How does it feel being the first child ??..
Nostalgia no be small Grammar abeg break am down gimme bros 😂😂😂
