FROM THE EDITOR

Firsts. They have a way of making an impression. That part-nauseating, part-exhilarating feeling that comes with first-time experiences—the intersection where knowledge and wonder meet. First tries, first tastes, first steps, first stumbles, new days, new seasons—new beginnings. Some of those firsts are exactly what we’re exploring in this month’s T8N.

As a new publication, we’ve certainly had no shortage of our own firsts this year. And though all have been carefully steered by experience, a few have admittedly scared the pants off us. And that (minus the visual) is a good thing. As the saying goes, a comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there. It’s those moments of growth and change that this month’s articles explore. From first haircuts and harvests to sex education and buying cars, we’re taking a look at moments and choices that shape our sense of self and place.

As always, we hope you’ll enjoy our take on it.

First page to last.
