<\/a><\/p>\nAlthough it is amazing to realize when you are in a moment, sometimes the best realization is after it already occurred. When everything is running at a million miles an hour and you are too busy having the time of your life, you will get to your bed that night and find yourself staring at the ceiling or gazing out a window. Reflecting on recent events, you will avoid sleep because it means the day must end and the present will soon become a fading memory. And that\u2019s when it hits you; the whole day as the world turned you forgot it was turning.<\/p>\n
Memories and moments are stories to be told and listened to for the rest of one’s life. It’s what leads you to laugh with your friends and say “I can’t believe we did that!” and as you look back at those memories you remember the instant it became special. It was no longer just a vacation,trip, holiday, adventure; it was something that had a significant impact on the rest of your life. You weren’t just standing on top of New York City with your four best friends, you were experiencing the world for the first time after graduation.<\/p>\n
As we travel and learn, our mind slowly starts to comprehend what it means to live. No two people have the same means of living, and no person will share the same moments as you. The world and you are infinite, and first experiences make lasting impressions called moments, which turn to memories that will stay with you for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n
Disclaimer:<\/strong><\/p>\nUnexpected surprises along with blissful internal and external cheering may be side effects to living in the moment. Do not live in the moment if you are boring, sleep walking or blacking out. Consult your local travel agent on how you can begin your moment and take steps to a happier lifestyle.<\/strong><\/p>\n\ud83d\ude09<\/strong><\/p>\nInstagram\/Twitter\/Facebook:\u00a0 ShaleeWanders<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"My toes curled in the warm sand of a hot January summer day.
