First things - Past

Remember your first day in US, first date, first time before a computer, first kiss, first child, first day in your college, first love........., all the things you did for the first time in your life.

The excitement we feel for all these first times takes us to the top of the world. Everything looks so perfect, nobody/nothing can dampen our spirits at that point. Past can neither be changed nor be felt again. That is the beauty of first things, it can never happen again and it would be either perfect or completely wrong, there is no changing that moment/day/period.

In the movie 'Fifty first dates', Drew Barrymoore keeps repeating "There's nothing like a first kiss", it is so true. There's nothing like a first time. People soon become indifferent to the very things which took them off their feet when it happened for the first time. That's life. Its no wonder that people who have been through too many wrong relationships become indifferent or rather scared of love/relationships.

Imagination plays a big role in this excitement. Rather than the action, the thought of doing the action itself lifts our spirits. As life goes on, there will be very few 'first time' things left in our life to do. That is why people are scared of getting old, not bcoz they lose the energy in their body but bcoz they lose the energy in their mind.

Past can never be fogotten, it is what made us the people we are. History is everything, it happened bcoz it is to be remembered. We never know what happens in the future but we can always be proud of that one day when we lived a life. We can always smile coz there were days when life was beautiful, the days when we knew what true happiness was. We never know whether there is a tomorrow in our life but we always know there was a yesterday and we did something for the first time on that day,
