“When was the last time you did something for the first time?”I read this a while ago and it stayed stuck in my head ever since. It resonated with me because when I asked myself this simple little question, it had been a long time since I hadn’t tried something new. But what is it with first times that make them so fascinating anyway? Kids try new things every day, it’s part of their day-to-day lives. Then we grow up and it’s so easy to get stuck in a routine that we know everything about. Nothing’s new, nothing’s surprising. It’s all about that comfort zone again. It feels safe to stay in it. Trying something new means stepping out of it and thus taking risks, making mistakes or failing.It actually hit me when I was sitting with my thoughts for distraction in college. I was totally out of my comfort zone there. I was exhausted, jet lag, lost in translation and making things without anyone to talk to (I am a very talkative person so this was a 24 hour challenge). But it was the first time, going to that particular, making my thoughts to go positive, taking frequent changes and forgetting people who doesn’t deserve. If sitting in an college alone could bring so many positive feelings, what could trying other things for the first time do? I got the answer to this question during my college hours because i spent My time there which were full of new experiences like exploring my inner self, not thinking what others will say.And this was all because I had looked my fear straight into the eye and kicked its ass. Because, yes, every new experience was scary and sometimes uncomfortable at the beginning, but what came after that was so worth it. Fear is just smoke and mirrors. Once you face it, it instantly disappears.
So come join me on the other side. The view is amazing.
