A First

There’s nothing like acknowledging a first time and savor its uniqueness. Most often than not, I take for granted a thing or a word that I have seen or heard for the first time. A ‘new experience’, in all the sense of that word, needs to be savored and cherished since it would no longer be a ‘first’ the next time you encounter that experience. It would be a completely new story.

Another shebang.

Another ballpark.

And in circumstances that you’ll keep on encountering that experience, it became ordinary and just a part of the background.

Ignored.

Neglected.

But when it’s suddenly gone, you’ll begin to wonder why. You’ll be literally taken aback of what’s amiss.
