Time and time again we just go through the motions of life and never fully register all the beauty that exists. We never take advantage of all the thrilling adventures that are sitting at our fingertips. But why stick to boring routine when you can make memories everyday? The moments that you grow up cherishing are the times you wish you could revisit. So the question is, why not go out and live every day of your life like that, giving yourself something to remember?
