Live for the little moments. It sounds like a cliché, I know. But, how can we call it cliché when half of us forget to appreciate what we have in the moment and walk around taking the happiness of life for granted?

Live for the little moments. Instead of scrolling through your Instagram feed one more time before class, challenge yourself to put your phone down and actually SEE what is around you. You will be amazed at how much beauty life holds.

Live for the little moments. Because one day that silly conversation you had in the car or that time you danced around the kitchen to 80’s pop music turned all the way up will be but a distant memory, and you can’t get it back.

Live for the little moments. Living life in the fast lane is great and all, but slowing down and stopping to smell the roses is just as important. Life is about balance. Squeeze every ounce of happiness out of what might seem like an insignificant walk to class or drive to the grocery store. You won’t regret it.

Live for the little moments. You’re grown up, but that doesn’t mean your creativity and innocence is gone. Remember that time the world used to seem so big in your young, bright eyes? You’re never too old to play. So, don’t be afraid to go back to the simplicity we all used to know so well.

Live for the little moments. One day you’ll realize the time has gone, and it’ll hit you. Life is full of little moments. Don’t take one second of them for granted.



 

 

Hey everyone! I'm Megan, a senior at James Madison University pursuing a double major in the School of Media Arts and Design (with a concentration in journalism) and political science, and a minor in political communication. I am an avid Netflix viewer, obsessed with breakfast foods, and a yogi-- queue the headstand. I love to read news and stay up to date with all things pop culture...and I also love to write, go figure! Due to extreme wanderlust, I am always on the move, and I look forward to traveling the world and whatever comes with it. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you have. Enjoy!
