isn’t it amazing how life just passes by? milestones come out of nowhere and leave in a flash. there’s not a single moment one can be in for more than just that: a moment. they come and go in waves, a crazy phenomenon that has never happened before and will never happen again. children are born and grow old in a small collection of those moments. there’s nothing one can hold and grasp for a lifetime. there’s nothing one can have for eternity. there is no baby that comes into the world and stays a baby for more than what feels like a single day. we laugh and cry, but only for a moment.
so if today, you’re feeling down, remember. it is simply a moment, one of many more moments that will be filled with happiness and laughter. that might also only last for a single moment, but that is the way of life. we all chase after those happy moments, and while they may not always be with us, while they may pass us by in a flash, slipping through our fingers, these are the moments that make all the others worth it. these are the moments that make life worth living.
so if you’re thinking today that it isn’t worth it anymore, that you can’t chase those moments anymore, remember: this small singular moment will pass on. you will find another amazing moment, one that is only for you, that has never happened before and shall never happen again. keep going for those happy, laughter filled moments.
keep your head up, kid. you’ve got this.
