Moments

There are moments in your life that only come once. Moments we experience always remember and cling onto. These moments create who we are, they shape our future and build our personalities; but they are greatly over estimated. Theres the first time you walk, your first birthday, your first words, your first A, your first kiss, your first car, job, love, drink.... The list goes on and on, yet we fail to realize that these moments can be relived, reintroduced with new people and new experiences over and over again throughout our lives. The moments that are overlooked are not the ones that we experience first, they are the moments we only experience once. The moments that come along once in a lifetime, and pass us by like a warm summers breeze brushing along the countryside. Things like your senior year of high school, the birth of a child, finding your one true love, growing old and retiring.... These are the moments that slip us by, the moments we take for granted rather than looking back and realizing the importance and impact they had. Its these moments that change us the most, its these moments in time that give our lives a weight, a story, a beauty that shines brighter than the brightest star. Try to acknowledge these moments and your life as you go through them and relish in the moments as you experience them, because they only come once and they're gone in the blink of an eye; just like your life.
