It's like going on a first date with yourself for a whole month'. I really feel meditation is like that - sweet, gritty, exciting, nerve-racking, awkward, possibly boring... The point is that expecting something very specific out of meditation is not a great idea. Being open and curious is the best way to be. Just like on a first date.
