Project Overview
The Registry of First-Time Feelings & Fleeting States is a curated archive of childhood emotional firsts: moments of love, joy, pride, secrecy, and goodbye that arrive briefly but leave lasting marks. Rather than presenting childhood as a linear timeline, the book treats memory as fragments: flashes of sensation, small rituals, and intimate experiences that quietly shape identity over time. Each section gathers personal narratives, found texts, and illustrative artifacts to document emotions as they were first felt, raw, awkward, tender, and incomplete.
