Rites of Passage

Everyone is born, and eventually, everyone dies. These can be emotionally complex, difficult experiences, but they can also be the pivotal moment in someone else's life, too. The milestones which mark a path through life can be powerful, illuminating, funny, sad, terrible, warm, or comforting, and we want to read about them.

Here is a sample public card, chosen from a list of seventy-five possible rites of passage.

tying a necktie	choosing a gift	first legal signature	first word	getting a license
killing someone	first library card	first crush	wisdom teeth	first paycheck
first insult	death	???	carrying fire	first flirt
parenthood	school dance	first homemade meal	new disability	walkabout
first kiss	loss of parent(s)	marriage or handfasting	discovering your orientation	first residence

Feel free to use the sample public card or generate one of your own (instructions are in the introductory post on 1 January 2015). There are no minimum fills, no requirements for form, genre, or medium. PRIZES offered!
