First things first
In a life that never gives you a second chance for a “First Impression”, that constantly tells you to do the “first things first”, it becomes vital to do as many “First things” as you can and make ‘em count, always! First cry, first try, first smile, first touch, first impression, first kiss and .. first love, they all last longer, because they come just once. So virtually every first thing is the last thing as well.
It feels so different, so wonderfully different, to do something for the first time. And you can never get that first feeling again. First things are the happiest part of anyone’s life, some people take it literally and wish (and strive) to go back in time and re-live those happy moments again. But those can never be regained, can only be remembered, since there exists the single “first time”. Pleasure of living is in doing new things rather than repeating the first things you’ve done (and enjoyed doing) in life however it doesn’t take away the pleasure of remembering previous first things. Life’s at it best when you’re doing new things and remembering previous ones.
“Remember the first time we met?” This single line’s been my best tool to resolve any issue, no matter how severe, with any friend. It puts a big smile back on the face and takes us back in the time that can only be remembered.
Get on with it … think of new ways to live the life. Nature helps us with it by blessing us with the gift of aging. The chances of doing new things are always there if we keep up with your age. If we could feel, there’s something new in every new day. Its just that we don’t realize the first things while they’re occuring, mainly because we’re lost in a first thing that once happened for the first time. Not realizing is missing all the privilige the first things have on offer.
Concluding it all, first things are once-in-a-life joys that can only be remembered, can NOT be repeated. It doesn’t end here, every first thing becomes a unique memory, a pleasure for life. So, doing first things first in life helps you getting new memories from old first things every day. But as you enjoy old memories, never miss a new thing that could be a wonderful memory of tomorrow. While every missed first thing becomes a regret and when number of regrets exceeds number of memories … its suicide!

Hi Rish,
your writing verstality is making you somewhat uniqe and prevailing onto your personel imbibe of knowledge and prestige towards ignored childhood days that embark you to revive them again with same splending shines of motivated and excited vigour of a child, fearless, bold and attentive to colors that remind you the past which is just a past now.

It’s always difficult to comment someone.. never find the right words to say exactly what you want to… so I’ll just try! What you say is so true! Remember when we first met? I am glad it happened, but I’m also glad that it isn’t past… our friendship i mean… You are really one of a kind!
I definitely remember when we met.. we had loads of fun… now we’re grown and got older.. but we still have so much fun… it’s good not to live in past.. so i hope a lot of people read it and listen you and try to find those new “first” things.
