Life for all people that live on the Earth is a journey. A journey shared from the first generation to the last generation, from the beginning of time to the end. History teaches the future the mistakes caused by human conflict and how to adjust for future situations. Moments in life shared by individuals can be sad or happy, but that makes life a worthwhile experience.

When one looks at a room, they see it's decorated with furniture, décor, and pictures. These particular things tell a lot about a person. It shows a person’s value and sense of style. Pictures, in particular, are things of sentiment to a person, describing a past event or an honor that the person has achieved, molded into a developed picture that one can reflect upon or relive.

Moments that are captured within a picture, moments that one can remember vividly within their minds are moments that make life worth it. These moments mold a person’s character, and it is important for people to have such moments to create their values and to forge memories within their life.

It is important to cherish moments in life, whether they be good or bad, since they are experiences that one can learn from. One can learn from their mistakes or they can be content with a happy moment that occurred in their life. Holding onto such moments helps mold a person’s ideals and gives them a sense of value for things in life.

The Values of Sentimental Moments

Sentiment adds value to places, objects, moments, or people, thus creating an invaluable experience that one can hold on to. Revisiting such recollections of memories reminds a person that there is something worth fighting for. Experiences that are shared among a lot of people create a bond between those people, further strengthening values of moments in life.

Not having sentiment for moments in life essentially devalues the moments created. So inherently it is important to keep sentiment. All people are different and experience things in different perspectives. People may view things differently than their peers, making a different experience for the particular moment.

Naturally, people have different values from one another. These may have been forged by their culture, race, the way that they were raised, or the way that the individual perceives things in life. Therefore, moments that one may find important may not be important at all for a different individual.

The sentimental things in life adds more each individual's life, accentuating who they are as a person. It would be easy to tell how a person is like based on the things they find important and the things that they do not. A person’s life essentially becomes a complex story book for others to read and perceive.

Life is a short experience compared to the relative existence of time and space. The time that people have on the planet are ones that should be experienced to the fullest within their life. Don’t dwell on past bad experiences but learn from those experiences to further enhance the past positive experiences and the future positive experiences that are sure to come.

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.
