We're making memories this year

This is what youth feels like, sounds like. Nothing will ever be quite the same. Moments you wish to standstill

Breathe

Look around

Take it in

Memorize the details

Who are you with?

Touch them

Tell them you love them

Feel your fingertips

Breathe again

Nothing is greater than this moment

~

This is what youth feels like

Sounds like

Nothing will ever be quite the same

Moments you wish to standstill

When you become so aware,

so aware of the present moment

~

To capture what we cannot keep

To document our youth

Our love

Our life

Our euphoria

~

Do not let others make you feel terrible for doing so

For if you feel alive through the lens or without it, does not really matter

But do not regret letting the moments slip past without allowing the gratitude to flow through you

Not sitting in the state of appreciation for long enough is my only regret

To feel those moments twice is my only wish

So do your best to feel it all

Feel everything

See how fast last year passed? You better stop messing with your life

~

Play hard

Take every single chance

Before the end of this year

The ‘good ole days’ are now
