‘What’s something that feels amazing the first time you do it?’ – 21 brand new experiences that blew people’s minds

If you’ve ever taken up jogging, or started going to the gym, you’ll be well aware that the first time you go it feels like torture, and it takes a long time before you have even an inkling of enjoying yourself.

However, that’s not true when it comes to every experience. Over on the AskUK subreddit, ggssmm1 asked ‘What’s something that feels amazing the first time you do it?’ and followed it up with this:

‘Some things in life aren’t so wonderful the first time around, like beer (my opinion)… even driving can be more stressful than entertaining at first. But then there are things that are just brilliant on the spot the moment you do them, like the first time you hear a song that speaks to you immediately.

‘What’s something you ever did for the very first time that was just instantaneously amazing?

And there were lots of people who wanted to add their thoughts about the things in life that are instantly brilliant.
