there are times in your life, whether it be saying hello to someone, saying goodbye to someone or 1:48 at that point when you're completely sober, that you realize that even if it is only 18 summers, they all meant something to you. you realize that the friends you shared your deepest secrets with no longer see you on the daily basis you always depended upon. we all move on and we grow up, even if we grow up into the people we dont necessarily want to be. we think back on the best moments of our lives and we smile. we wish more than anything we could relive those moments, or even, take them all and put them into consecutive order and live that life. a life of all the happiest moments in our lives. it wouldn't be a long life, but it'd be the greatest one we'd ever known. a person never really knows who they are until they turn to those memories and look at the bigger picture. how simple the moment really was. was it that song they'll never forget in the islands under a tiki bar at midnight under the stars? or was it the first time they ever had a real kiss, or their first high, or their first car, or a hug from someone they hadn't seen in years. all of those combined would make someone happier than comprehendable, and for that reason, we wake up every single morning. we wake up hoping to create one more moment to add to the trail. and then their are people. the people you never thought you'd never have to worry about leaving. the ones who you knew you'd be best friends with forever. they leave. you leave. you move on and you never see them again. granted you live hundreds of miles apart, but you never thought that would be the reason. you grow up. you grow up and you move on. and you cry and laugh and regret. but if you can take 1 moment from every day of your life when you remember smiling, and being truely happy, its completely worth it
