Adventure and Discovery

Imagine it is the first time ever seeing your hometown. Imagine seeing specific roads you may take and specific places you may spend your time. Imagine seeing them again for the first time, and try to imagine what your first impressions of these places may have otherwise been. Now, try to foresee how a different first impression would change your current opinions of those roads or those places.

So many different factors contribute to the act of becoming attached to a location. This applies not only to places, but to things, animals, even people. First impressions are extremely important, but not in the way where the mindset is to be absolutely perfect. Decorum and proper etiquette are not always the correct way to approach a meeting. No, it truly depends on both of the people who are meeting; their attitude, their demeanor, and how they harmonize at the precise moment of meeting one another. First impressions, in large part, help shape our relationships, both with those we love so much it hurts, and with others whom we despise as deeply as we can.
