Cherishing

Idk about you, but my whole life I’ve heard people say “cherish the moment, it goes by so fast!” I’ve heard this quote so many times, I might think about it for a second and then it kinda goes in one ear, out the other. 

Obviously, there’s really no way to go to the store and pick up some “cherish now juice” so how do we know if we’re really enjoying a moment or letting it slip by? I think this quote of “cherishing or else” can seem negative if we’re not careful. 

I think it’s honestly a beautiful thing that there’s no way to really know how much of an impact a certain moment will have on our lives until it’s done. I think this keeps our lives from being boring and redundant. Don’t get me wrong, fear of the unknown is a real and valid thing, however, I think there’s more beauty in the suspense of moments than we give credit to! 

Imagine if you knew every single outcome of every situation you were put in? Like yes, on one end that could work in your favor, but on the other - how boring! There would be no surprise (and you know I LOVE surprises). 

This photo is a moment in my life I don’t think I’ll forget. My friend MJ and I randomly went to this hidden waterfall that barely had a location on google maps, and it ended up being one of the most special places I have seen (shameless plug: link in bio to that video btw hehe).

I guess what I mean by all this is, if we never take the risk of the unknown, we’ll never be surprised. And that’s truly what makes life fun!
