My "First"

Have been putting off the "momentous" occasion of writing the first post for my blog for quite a while now !! The "first" everything is always special in one's life, be it your first walk, your first crush, your first "true"(at least thats what one thinks at that time) love or a more mundane, your first making out(special nonetheless). Funny though how it didnt matter as much back when you had no idea how special a "first" is in your life. For example I don't think you jumped up with joy and a truimphant grin on your face when you managed to walk the first few steps as a 2-year old kiddo. The joy was reflected more on your parents face, grown up enough to appreciate the so called "first" factor of the moment. But as you grew older, things changed, and the sheer potential that is attached to a "first" in your life made you pause and think twice before deciding to embark on it. You want it to be special, one of a kind and something you can always look back to with pride. You don't want to ruin the occasion by doing something stupid or "uncool", something that you might come to repent your entire life. Forgive me for being perhaps a little too dramatic on this but believe you me, for almost everyone in my age group it is as much as dramatic, as I make it out to be, perhaps even more.

Anyways, as I said you dont want to spoil things by doing anything stupid do you, so you start putting it off for a time when everything would be just right for "it" to happen, when all the conditions would be perfect, but sadly the "ideal" time almost never comes. In fact the ideal time will never come, unless you want it to, cause lets face it guys this is not an idealistic world and there never will be an "ideal" time for anything. You can always decide on where to set the bar, and be content when you cross it, or you can always set it a little higher and start all over again. That's what I decided to do with this post of mine. "What the heck!!", I thought, lets get over with it and then I can go on and post the thousands of other things I have always wanted to post. You see, this "first" was keeping me from all the "others", and it is only when you realize how important even your "others" are, that you will be able to set the bar I was talking about and be content with it. The "first" always stops you from getting to the "others", and the sooner you realize that and stop waiting for an "ideal" time the better.
