Life’s a Beautiful Gift

Life’s a beautiful gift. Whether I realize it or not, I have enough to be thankful for. That includes having my parents in my life, true loving friends and family, opportunities to make mistakes and grow from them, seeing new places, taking chances to be seen by others, and learning whatever interests me. Even the bad experiences are gifts that I am slowly learning to see.

I have a long way to go on my personal growth journey and fighting for my dreams yet that’s the beauty of life. Even as time flies by in an instant, I try to treasure the moments I have with myself and the people I care about as long as I am alive.

On a sad note, I’ll never forget how my friend from 9 years ago passed away from an accident at the age of 19. It’s still hard to believe she’s gone and couldn’t be here to this day to realize her full potential and live a long life with the people she cared about. Life can be unforgiving to those who mean the world to us.

However, we must treasure every moment of life because we’ll never know when our final moment will come. There’s no tomorrow to do what you’re passionate about. There’s no tomorrow to tell someone you love them. There’s no tomorrow to say to yourself that you matter. There’s no tomorrow to see the world and its amazing places. There’s no tomorrow to change the worst aspects of who you are. There’s no tomorrow to forgive others and yourself. And there’s no tomorrow to be the person you weren’t to be in God’s vision.

Treasure every moment of your life because you’ll never know if you have more time to live it.
