Raise up your hand if you are here waiting to read about an actual fart🤣…When they say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, this is what the author exactly meant.
But why the first fart? A fart in essence, is an emission of a gas from our bodies, where most of the time it’s accompanied by an unpleasant smell. The producer of this gas when in their own company normally doesn’t get embarrassed by their own fart smell, in fact, they would go on about their duties and tasks as if nothing happened. The downside of this is when one emmits this gas, when with an unknown company, then what follows next is the levels of discomfort and embarrassment between themselves and the company in their midst. People in long term relationships, have come a long way into accepting their partner’s farts, and they too, no longer feel embarrassed to do this act when in their midst. This article just seeks to exemplify the levels of comforts in different relationships and what it would take either of the partners to survive the first fart and move on.
The write up of this article focuses on the firsts of many, and the word fart here is a pun that is used to explain the different unnerving things we get to do for the very first time.
When we do something for the first time, or when we accomplish a unique task for the very first time, often, we are unsure and uncertain of the outcome, then as we keep doing it over and over again, it becomes too comfortable of a mission to accomplish, even with your eyes closed, it gets done perfectly. When you probably took on your first bicycle ride, from afar, it looked like a simple task. Until when you got to try it, its only then when you realized it wasn’t as easy as you perceived. You tried balancing and fell down, not once, not twice, but severally where you got injured and almost gave up learning. Luckily, with numerous trials and a few too many falls, you eventually got the hang of it. Looking back today, from the time you had your first bicycle ride, you can’t help but wonder what was the worry all about, was the fear necessary? But the moment you learnt how to do it, the skill was home and dry, where it has been for all these years. Was it hard at first? Yes, did it get better ? Definitely yes. And this is our first fart introduction. Doing something the first time, is always fearful, but once we accomplish that task, it becomes bearable and manageable through and through. And you even keep getting better at it as time goes by and especially with more practice. Same explanation goes right with your first driving experience.
They say every dog has its day. And so its true for anyone trying to get something done for the very first time. Sometimes, we may actually accomplish it out of sheer luck, or by hard work or maybe, we actually put in some little effort in order to get some good result. When we try something for the first time at times it gets harder by the day, what we need to remind ourselves is we need not to give up but instead keep the discipline of being committed to wanting to do better. Take a trip down memory lane. Remember when you first asked her out. I can bet that none of you was sure that she would agree to go on a date with you. You might have had a couple of fears. Like fear of being rejected, fear of being turned down, fear of not knowing how she may accept your offer or even fear of not knowing the exact words to say once you approach her. But somehow, just despite those fears,, amidst the jitters, you still went ahead. In your mind, you probably already worked out the possible counter answers or developed reactive absorbers of how to handle the situation should she ignore your request. Some of you were lucky to have her accept at the very go maybe the feeling was immediately mutual. Some had to put in a little effort by doing constant follow ups. Some got the hard to get type ones that gave them some little trouble to breakthrough, who eventually warmed up. The best part of it all was that none of you gave up, you still went ahead with your pursuit despite knowing the outcome, of either a possible rejection or a warm acceptance, you still went ahead for it. Lucky for you, the acceptance came in quicker than the possibility of a rejection and with time, the two of you became inseparable. Some even had to travel miles to get the audience of a beloved. Look at you now, would either of you even remember the butterflies and jitters back then? Would anyone of you remember the fears you had before asking her out? Because you tried it, no matter what uncertainties lay ahead, you tried it and made it. Was it hard the first time? Yes. Did you doubt whether she would accept your proposal? Another yes. Did you eventually win? Another big yes. And this brief love hunt narrative introduces us to our second fart…
A first fart essentially is something we get to do for the first time, learning the loops and ropes of it until we become comfortable. The most important thing that hold this “fart” together is the ability to “let it” out as loud as we can, move on quickly with the uncomfortable reactions of it instead of holding “it” in making you not explore that which you have always wanted to simply because, you are afraid of the outcome, you are afraid of failing or you don’t want to be embarrassed. Once the ” fart” is out, all we are left with is the feeling of relief of how glad we are that we did it, tried it , and all that’s left of us is to keep putting in the work day in day out untill we become masters of our first “farts”……….
