^{I'm writing about the first times.}

^{Here's why.}

(That photo is the very first photo I've taken of New York City.)

I've had multiple attempts in the past to write something under a "theme." I thought I'll do one about the early days when I move to a new territory, about landmarks that I see, about being an introvert but things happen and I couldn't follow through.

This is another attempt to do just that.

The Splice Newsroom team asked me to write about attending a media festival for the first time, especially when you're an introvert for Splice Beta. They've also asked me to moderate a panel discussions (yes two), which is something I've not done for the first time.

So I figured, why not also write about it. And all the other first times.

And ultimately, to constantly answer this, "When was the last time you did something for the first time?"
