The thing about ‘The Day 1’

The day of experiencing so many feelings at a time.

The day 1!

Stepping into the classroom as a teacher on Day — 1!!

The day you plan in advance but still wonder what it would be like.

You experience it when you step into new school, new college, new relationship, new friendships, new roles, new jobs, or, new aspirations.

When you expect and you remind yourself ‘not to expect’!

When you try to remain open minded but feel hell-a scared about ‘what would go wrong.’ and ‘If you could take it?’

When all of this back of mind thoughts go on, and you try to put on a brave face to show how ready and excited you are for this.

You question if it is correct.

If it is correct path for you to walk on.

but you realise it’s not a good time for that doubt.

You re-affirm your why’s

Why you started this and where you want to be.

You step up.

in Day-1.

Taking a leap of faith.

Believing in the journey

more than in the destination.

Because what is the destination anyways,

As there would be another ‘Day-1’ waiting after it.

You realise, this is not the first time.

This will not be the last.

You have had so many beginnings,

Though every journey has its own path,

The one thing sure is,

There will be another day-1,

‘The day -1' and all the feelings it brings to life.
