First Impressions

Earlier posts on First Love and Crush v. Love explored some related aspects of this theme.  4minute's First remains a singular expression of this phenomenon, especially important as one of NJ Kpoppers "first" adventures in K-pop fandom.

There is something magical about the first exposure to any phenomenon, where all impressions are absorbed with a sense of childlike wonder and total acceptance.  Hence those impressions are deeply imprinted on the consciousness and take on an ineffaceable significance.  This bear has had the good fortune to experience many such moments when encountering new things, triggering an extremely sensitive and malleable state of mind -- new people, new places, new music, new literature, and new languages. Sometimes all of those things get rolled up together into a highly intoxicating blend!
