The beginning

First - what a powerful word. For so many humans, life is consumed with creating firsts. For others, it consists of merely trying to re-capture the experience of past firsts. In trying to find an appropriate way to start my presence here, I decided to visit this land of firsts. A friendship may be carved in stone or simply written in the snow to dissolve with the rising of the sun. A first love can bring memories of elation and giddiness, or it can create a festering ulcer which thrives on every rejection. Even in the worst situations, our firsts can impact our lives for the better. No matter how much the hurt or how big the regret, we can become better. Our misfortunes can be the light to others. Only by helping another across the line can we rectify our own failures.
