Seconds. They all add up to something. Memories, moments, visions, passions, ideas. These all account for seconds within our lives that we truly take for granted. When we begin our day at work, school, etc.. we are constantly looking at that clock, watching the seconds go by, hoping for it to turn to that time that we are deemed "free" from our work. When does a human look at a clock and cherish each one of those seconds. As that clock keeps moving forward, time is moving along with it, whether it be slowly or quickly or however your mind chooses to perceive it. Each second should be cherished like the last one before it because until we learn to cherish each and every little thing in life, we aren't living life to its full potential.
As I look around, I am a victim to this exact thing. I take life for granted, mainly by forgetting about the complexity and the beauty that life has to offer. We, as humans, have almost made life into something that we only want to brag about. We have made seconds invaluable, for those seconds don't matter unless you are doing something that is cherished by others. Social media has only allowed us to share the "amazing" things that happen in our life, as if those are the only cherished moments in life. I have fallen victim to this exact thought over and over again. I believed that life wasn't truly life unless I was "adventuring". But, from the second you are waking up, to the second you are with your best friends, family, brothers, sisters or enjoying dinner, lunch, work, school, etc.. we must learn to cherish each and every factor in our life to truly enjoy life's full potential. Until we don't cherish every single second, are we really living life?
