first
fərst/Submit number 1. coming before all others in time or order; earliest; 1st. "his first wife" synonyms: earliest, initial, opening, introductory I was talking to my friend earlier today and (not too surprisingly) we wound up talking about relationships and love. Before I go one step further with this post; I'm going to ask you to not automatically rip into me for being 14 and talking about this. Age is a number and I try to live by the stanza that age doesn't define maturity. In any case, while we were talking she said something quite interesting that got me thinking. "Your first love isn't really who you first give your heart to, it's the first person who breaks it." I've never really thought of it that way, you know? I think it's simply because first is classed as- well, you can read the definition. Coming before all others in time or order. I guess you just assume that your first crush is your first "love", since love really isn't something to be defined until you meet the one you TRULY love. But I suppose that your first heartbreak would be a good way to class that. Now, despite the fact that love is something hard to pin down- I wanted to talk today about something that IS. While love may be hard to put in a timeline fashion, kisses are not. And while some people may think this is really freakin' stupid, I don't. I honestly don't think your first kiss should be considered your first kiss, you know? I mean yes- in the timeline sense, the first person who kisses you is technically your first kiss but for sentimental purposes, I think your first kiss is the first kiss that is genuine. And by that, I mean the first kiss that isn't completely awkward, forced, and un-enjoyable (as most first kisses tend to be, according to many of my friends and my own experience). By genuine I mean that it should come naturally and should be shared lovingly with someone you actually care about- not grudgingly done with a friend in the back of a crowded car. As of now, I've had my first kiss in both senses- and neither of them have any idea that I have this philosophy OR even who they are. But I know. And at this rate, that's all that matters. - Maddie
