My First Time

Now, usually I wouldn't share such personal information...but I feel like this is the right place for me to get this off my chest.

My first time was today, and it was incredible. It was the realization of a moment that I've dreamed about almost as long as I can remember and it was perfect. Being inexperienced, I had some doubts and fears about whether or not I would do it right...but once I started it came naturally. It wasn't too quick, or too long...just the right amount of time for me to savor it and hopefully remember it always. I'm guessing I had a better first experience than most, otherwise all the kids my age would be doing it, but I think part of my joy was in the anticipation of the act, not in the act itself. I have never felt quite so grown up as I did right then. I have to wonder if everyone else's life has changed because I almost feel like a different person. I can't wait to do it again...

That's right, folks. Today I voted for the very first time. (Hi, Quill!!)

LOL...but on a serious note...I've been waiting for this day since 1991. That's the year I campaigned in my first Presidential race, this year has been so much more important for me just knowing that for the first time I would actually get to cast my ballot, not just encourage others to do so. I almost wish I could relive my first vote over and over...
