I'm Making A 1 Second Video Every Day Of 2019 To Capture Forgotten Moments

Holding on to memories has always been something that I've loved to do. I find so much joy in being able to recall even the most minuscule moment that made me laugh or smile because I can feel that moment all over again. I've always been one to love looking through the photos and videos in my camera roll to get glimpses of past memories. To continue to do this, and even have it in a more organized way, one of my New's Years Resolutions is to take a one-second video each day so I can look back and re-live great moments from the past year. I found and starting using the app "1 Second Everyday" to help me create my 2019 video.

I wanted to do this for 2019 for many reasons. One reason is that I will have something so meaningful to watch as the year continues on. I love that I will be able to capture so many different moments full of happiness and laughter and everything else. I'm already 20 days into January, and I love that all those memories are already stored and can be looked at whenever. I'm so excited to see how the finished project will turn out and how it will be such a good reminder of my year. This project will remind me of my 2019, the good and the bad. It will be a collection of my year, everything that helped me grow in 2019 can be documented throughout this project. I will be able to capture really exciting, big moments, but also small moments that have just as much meaning to me.

Another reason I wanted to make this video this year is because it will help me to focus on happiness. Picking a second each day to capture has already helped me focus on the things I am most thankful and grateful for. I want to focus more on everything in life I have to be thankful for, and this video is a great reminder of those people, moments, and things in my life that bring me happiness. Its so easy to get caught up in the difficult and stressful moments of life, and picking a second each day will remind me of all the good moments in times of stress. I can't wait to watch this video in 2020 and I'll be able to be reminded of all the things that made my 2019 and contributed to my happiness.

I've already watched by 20-second video a few times, which might be cheating the video a little bit, but I can't help it because I love being able to see the meaningful moments in my 2019 so far. It has been and will continue to be such a good reminder of what makes me happy and the things I have to be grateful for. I'm really hoping I can continue this throughout the whole year so I have the full year captured to look on to. I can't wait to see what this year has in store and to be able to watch it all over again and the end will be such a meaningful moment.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
