I was thinking - what if I'm the only one in the history of the world to think a certain thought? And, what are the odds that me, the only one to think that thought, realized I was the only one to think it? Surely people have "first thoughts" all the time, but don't realize it. First thoughts or occurrences (holding this orange baseball while wearing a 1994 WWF shirt) are noteworthy for sure, but so are "big" first thoughts/discoveries, like analyzing a long-standing institution (correctly) a certain way, or (also correctly) breaking down how something important/academic played out in the past. To make things even more confusing, you may be the only person to have discovered something about something that was in itself a “first,” or “only.” Perhaps you also discovered the entire thing itself.
So, do you ever think "I'm the first to think or do this," and then, "Am I one of the only 'firsts' to realize I'm a 'first'"?
My final answer is, first (or realizing firsts) shouldn't be looked at with INCREDIBLE amazement (just some reasonable level of it). There are seven billion people on Earth, firsts happen.
You may be a first!

Nah, I'm just some schmuck. I try not to get too hung up on the idea of being first at anything.

Editing my instagram caption, Cutting and removing the caption with hashtags from it, pressing done. Editing it again, then pasting it back and pressing done. It bumps your post back to the top of the feeds of the hashtags you're using apparently, because more likes will start appearing, thus expanding your audience.
I've googled this and searched it on Twitter yet no one else seems to mention it.
Maybe I've discovered this! Not sure if that's something to gloat about though haha!

George Carlin had a bit about this. He said some random thing and said he was the first person to say it. Anyway. I wouldn't mind taking Alexa Bliss and covering her in chocolate sauce and Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer and driving her all around Novia Scotia on the back on a tandem bicycle screaming on the top of my lungs that I'm the greatest toast maker in the whole entire world and that everyone needs to get on their knees and kiss my smuckers while "Blitzkrieg Bop" plays in reverse through a hello kitty boom box on the handle bars as we ride into the sunset to live happily ever after in a B&B that only caters to sexy women wrestlers dripping with chocolate and Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer. Boobs. WOOO HOO!!! I'm the first person EVER to say that!!!! USA! USA! USA!  |

I like your thought pattern. Yes I have thought the same, but not exactly sure I am the first to think anything, well, not at the core element. Doing certain things on the other hand, I am the first. I am sure a lot of us have those uniquenesses, and we should at least personally celebrate them. Even if you come up with something independently and someone else does it before you, know that great minds think alike, and you had the capability to think it up, and the majority of folks didn't. Creativity is a beautiful thing.
