Experiences are what life is made of. To make it even simpler, our day to day experiences taken together make our lives. The different experiences we have in our lifetime makes our lives complete. Of all the various experiences we go through our entire life first experience of everything is memorable. It may be good or bad these are those special moments of our lives that we cant forget because there never can be a second first experience of anything.
One can never forget the joy of getting their first bicycle. When one fine morning we wake up to find a brand new cycle waiting for us. The experience of happiness joy, pride of now becoming a owner of a bicycle. To be able to tell all our friends with a glint in our eyes that we have cycle also now. The first ride on the bicycle. Even though we all are grown up to adults now, whenever we think about that experience we always have a smile fixed to our face unknowingly. We still feel happy about that incident happened in our childhood. We feel nostalgic.
Remember the first crush in college. A moment spend with them. First love letter written, received. First love. First date. First kiss. The very first time we said I Love you to someone or someone said the same words to us. We still could feel the butterflies in our stomach remembering those moments of our life. We still blush thinking about it. The person may or may not be any longer in our life but that experience will always remain with us. We can still feel the excitement, nervousness, the panic etc we felt during that moment. These experience will always be special to all of us. We may be happy or sad remembering those moments but they will forever be part of our life.
The day we received our first job letter. We may not have been happy latter in that job or may be satisfied with the job but nothing will beat the happiness we felt at the moment when we first held our offer letter in our hands. Fresh out of college or still in final year college or after lot of struggle it does not matter . The thing which mattered the most at that time was the fact that we have a job now. We proudly told everyone that we will be officially be a part of the earning community now. We would have called all our relatives friends whomever we know just to give this news. We would have partied late that night. Some of us would have gone to temple to seek blessings and express gratitude . Many of us would have now changed many a jobs but none of the later jobs letters could ever possibly give us the joy satisfaction we experienced by holding the first job letter.
The day we got our first pay check our first salary. We were so happy that we started making plans as in how to spend the money, whether to spend entirely or give it to our parents or do some savings. The happiness of becoming now capable enough to mange our expenses and that of our families. The excitement of that moment when we held our first pay check is unbeatable. We would have jumped in joy. We still feel happy when we receive our salary but the happiness we experienced when we received our first salary cannot be expressed in words.
There are so many first experiences we have already gone through in our life we ourselves have not kept track of . There are many more first experiences yet to come in our lives which we are yet to live. But still First Experience will always be special.
