My First..


In every situation, 'first' always makes us nervous. For me, having the first thing or facing a new condition at the first time might make me feel excited and afraid at the same time.

Just like the first time when I went by plane to Yogya. I didn't know how but I felt so happy and so scared. Happy because that was my first flight and scared because I didn't know the situation yet.

I kinda had this feeling again when I went to Arau Open Debate in UiTM Perlis, Malaysia last week. It was my first time going abroad and feeling a new atmosphere of debate competition. The night before I went there, I could not sleep well.

Some might say that it is weird, but I guess we all feel the same thing when we have our 'first'. Some might work hard to deny the feeling they are having in this situation, but hang on friends, it's normal, very much normal.

However, some people feel afraid of having their 'first'. They prefer to stay still rather than having a new thing, in which they think that they are not ready for that. Somehow these people think that the new condition will bring them to a worse situation that they cant stand. Infact, this new thing will actully bring betterment for them.

Let's take an example: a friend of mine was in relationship with a man for 2 years. My friend started to complain when her boyfriend became possessive that she could not stand, but she is afraid to break the relationship for she would not ready to loose him. Infact, she realized that this couldn't go longer. Then, she made a decision with all consequences it takes. She made up her mind that she was ready for a new life with a new status. And at the end, she broke up with her boyfriend.

Finally, I want to say : "First is not always easy, but it is never that difficult though". Just be ready and prepare ourselves for every new thing we will face!! Cheers ^_^

  1. The most fear is when we are not ready to accept everything that lays ahead cos when we look back, we see how convenient our life is, and makes us choose to dwell on that instead of moving on...looking at the closed door is our human side to seek comforts. Having first time to start everything new, we think we cannot do as well we could in the past. Thanks for sharing such writing.
