We all have memories, good and bad and if You really take an honest look nothing beats the first time We experienced anything. Your First car, your first apartment, your first job earning your first paycheck, Your first kiss, your first Love. The first time You had Sex. It might not have been the best but it’s the one you’ll always remember.
Remember Your first Car, chances are it was not the nicest or the last but it gave You the most important thing a car can, Your freedom. Your first pay check gave you options. The world was now at you feet, or so we thought.
Remember Your first Love, the first time another human besides your parents or grandmother entered your heart. The first person who gave you that dull feeling in your chest when you were apart. The first time you heard the words ” I love You” from someone other than family. The first time your lips met, your tongues swirled and the first person to see you naked since your mom still gave you baths.
Unfortunetley when We experience most of our “firsts” We are to stupid to realize what we have. We are after all just learning life. We often waste what we do not yet realize will be a life long memory and thus often live with regrets for much of our future. That’s life I guess. All to often the excitment leads us to wanting our “second” and we toss aside what is.
In today’s world it seems many of us are on a quest for “More” we reach a point where nothing is ever enough. Nicers cars, better jobs, more money, bigger TV’s, houses and lovers. It’s like a drug, We are searching for that “first” high. The feelings we remember of the “first”. We so often end up “happier where we were than where we are. We cast aside our loved ones when they no longer give us that high, the feeling of “the first time” when our heart no longer aches when we’re apart. The quest for the rush makes Us forget why we loved them to begin with. We are Human, basically selfish by nature. When something seems to loose it’s value to US, we cast it aside. When the rush is gone we feel a need to replace it.
My point is to all this is as we get older and time seems to just blow by, We start to realize it has been Us, ourselves that was the problem. We look back at fond memories and realize we lost the rush because we failed to see what we had , we had all that we needed but were to busy wanting more. Now that time slipped past and we ended up almost completing the circle we find ourselves back where we started. We came to realize what was and still is important, our own happiness. That is all we ever wanted. We just wish we would have learned more, taken the time to slow down and enjoy what was, realized that now, the moment we are in needs to be cherished, kept a fond memory rather than someting we will regret to our dying day.
We are at the point in our lives time seems short, things we used to take for granted now have a sense of urgency. The time has come to clean the slate, make amends, make peace with those we loved and our inner child that still waiting for the “first”. One thing we all have in common is Time, we all get 24 hours in a day, once gone it is gone forever. The difference is how we all spend that 24 hours. How many of those hours we live to regret. Now is the time to enjoy them again. Forget what you were taught, what others want. Follow the golden rule, the ONE commandment ” do onto others as You want done onto you” than go out and enjoy life. Do what You have long wanted but have let “their” rules keep you from. Do for yourself fore once You are happy it will effect those around you. I find it hard to believe that the God many of Us worship is so trivial that he will condemn as easily as organized religion leads you to believe. He gave You life to enjoy, just as You gave life to your children. You would not condemn them for loving life, why would God be any less compassionate ?
Now get your ass up and live again and this time around appreciate your “First’s”
