Remember Your First Kiss Day
Remember Your First Kiss Day is observed annually on April 26. Almost everyone has a first kiss story. This day serves to remind us of who we had our first kiss with, where we had it, what led to it, how we enjoyed it, and what transpired afterward. It also allows us to revisit the past and rekindle our relationships, or remember that special person who first made us feel lost in romance. However, the first kiss might not always be as romantic as many proclaim. Some loathe it due to certain circumstances that surrounded the moment.
