Last first time

A short time ago I did something for the first time, a reasonably major thing that in the past I'd never thought I'd do.

I was pretty good at it, not great, and I guess if I'm totally honest good at it might be a generous assessment; let's just say, I didn't totally suck at it, and I think that's a pretty acceptable result. The main thing, and the best part, was that I pushed my limits and to some degree my paradigm through doing something I'd previously not expected or thought I'd do which sort of resets my mindset and creates a new reality; I'm pleased with that and the enjoyment factor also.

I've done so many things in my life and have no complaints about the opportunities that have presented themselves and which I've created on my own accord; some have been necessities like work, relationship or general life related things and others I've wanted to do for enjoyment, the challenge, to help others and various other reasons. Looking back on those things, *many of them were "firsts," meaning things I'd not previously done, and in each case I've found value in getting out of my comfort zone, challenging my mind and body, pushing through fears and doubt and generally getting shit done. I believe it's one of the reasons I can look back on the past with little regret and it's also allowed me to create what I feel is a reasonably fulfilled life.

Thinking on the idea of "firsts" I thought I'd put it out there and ask you folks about your own, and your last first specifically.

When and what was your last first?
