History of Remember Your First Kiss Day
The history of this chaotic day remains mysterious as the person who started this is unknown. Even if it’s an undefinable day, this day, April 26, has caught many people recalling their first kiss experiences. Thus, it became a tradition!

Reflecting on our Growth Through Reminiscing Our First Kiss
This day is a form of encouragement for us to reflect on our growth. May it be related to romantic relationships, but mostly to the lessons we have learned from those early love experiences. Although some people are fortunate to still have the first person they kissed sticking around them, others completely separated themselves from their first kiss. Our different experiences are weirdly amazing because they indicate how things circulate differently in every individual. Some people think that their first kiss was funny, some people think that it was really romantic, it was awkward, and some people don’t think of anything at all.
The emotions that our first kiss memory taps are peculiar. However, we can’t deny the fact that it still holds a special place in our hearts no matter what emotion we felt at that time.
