Before there were favorites

How awesome would it be, to go back to a point where u had no favorites. I mean most of us have favorite things. Whether they be color, sports team, movie, song, or whatever, it doesn't matter. And, for the most part most of our favorites were decided upon a long time ago.

Man, how awesome would it be to see your favorite movie for the first time again. Completely enthralled and so into it you may be sweating with excitement or crying out of sadness or joy. After then it will never be quite the same. You will feel those same emotions again, but not with the same intensity as you did that first time. That goes for any of the favorites I explained. For song, book, whatever, man, nothing beats the moment you knew. The moment you knew that was YOUR favorite and no one can love it as much as you do.

So now, how much does it suck to know you most likely won't feel that way about a certain thing again. One word. HOPE

You have to hope, as much as it pains yourself to think your top song ever can be de-throned, you have to. Because, after all, what if a new song was sooo good that it could take your old one's spot, how awesome is that.

So, from my heart, thank you my favorites. A movie like American Beauty, or a book story like His Dark Materials, or a game like Final Fantasy 8, or a song like My December. Thanks for being there now, I will cry with both joy and sadness if and when you are no longer my favorites.
