I was laughing with my friends today when I realized something.
Life is nothing but moments.
That fight you had with your best friend is just a moment.
The time you were up all night finishing a project was just a moment. The night you watched the sunset with the boy you thought you'd marry is just a moment.
The championship you lost is just a moment.
The road trip you spend with your friends singing to throwbacks is just a moment.
Every up and every down and everything in between is just a moment that passes with time.
You may remember these moments and you may not, but what you will remember is the people you spend them with and the way you felt.
The way she made you laugh, the way he made you cry, and the way they made you feel like you were on top of the world when you were nowhere but with your best friends.
All of these moments and feelings and people combine to make up a bigger moment that we call life.
In all of eternity, our life is just a moment.
Appreciate the moment you've been given and the people you've been given to spend it with, because no matter how beautiful or tragic a moment is, it always ends.
So, hold a little tighter, smile a little bigger, cry a little harder, laugh a little louder, forgive a little quicker, and love a whole lot deeper because these are the moments you will remember when you're old and wishing you could rewind time.
Not a single thing lasts forever, so you better damn well enjoy it before it's gone.
Live a life you will remember.
