Have You ever thought about „firsts” of your life? In this world of never-ending firsts at this very moment someone is taking his or her first breath. Someone is saying their first word, taking first step, smiling for the first time, crying, falling in love, having their heart broken. Someone is enjoying spring for the first time, hearing their first song, starting their first day of work. Someone is saying: „I love You”, for the first time and someone is hearing it for the first time as well. Someone is having their first cigarette, first drink, first drug. For the first time someone is feeling week, disappointed, lost, misunderstood. Someone is meeting their first real friend, but have no idea that it is happening. Someone is leaving home for the first time and someone for the first time in their life finally feels like they have come home.
How many „firsts” have You experienced and only realized it after the moment was gone?
How many times have You said: „ This is happening for the first time in my life”?
How many „firsts” ar still in Your future?
Whilst the world is busy having numerous „firsts” I am starting my week of „lasts”.
My last week in Geneva. Last time picking up James from school, last walk through the streets of the old town, last sunset by the lake, last basketball game, last „white night”, last sarcastic joke marathon, last hug from a friend.
Those are just few of the „lasts” I have to face before I can move on and have a whole new set of „firsts” in my life.
No matter how we choose to live our life, „firsts” and „lasts” are gonna be there every step of the way. So I say embrace it and don’t let it scare You. Life is fleeting and I for one want to experience as many „firsts” and „lasts” as I can. After all thats what life is all about, isn’t it?
