i had my first kiss, and it's not what you think

Media always portrays your first kiss as something so incredibly intimate and emotionally charged, with the average expectation that it's supposed to be reserved for your special someone. For a long time, I wasn't sure if I was someone who could see that in myself. It's partially a self-esteem issue and also what I would consider some subgenre of aromantic thought process. I just have a really hard time considering the concept of romance and its implications. All that being said, I had my first kiss! It was a little peck on the lips from one of my close friends. It was a really nice feeling, and my chest made a little spark and my face grew really hot. I can kind of see why people do it so much, because it does make me want to do it more, though not enough to brave the world of dating currently. I'm quite pleased that my first kiss was very gentle and not scary at all. Kissing your friends is fun! I think everyone should do it more. Just a nice little entry as a break from the sadder…
