Tweenage angst.

A first sexual awakening. So many hopes and so many regrets. My first kiss was about to happen and - stupidly, stupidly, I tried to outsmart it. Because I felt so smug, being able to spy through some holes in my straw sunhat. Oh, how I regretted doing that. I would never have this opportunity again. I thought immediately after the moment was gone. I was 12. And of course, I did have that opportunity again. And while it hurt so deeply for so long that I'd sabotaged a potentially profound moment - it taught me two things - 1. know an opportunity when it arises and 2. realise that sometimes a missed opportunity is not that, it's just the timing isn't right.

Trust that I'll know when the timing is better.

Trust that instinct to help you know when you're ready. I learnt so much about accepting that sometimes it's better to wait.
