This is a quote about making the best of the moment you are in right now. So many people walk through life waiting for the next big thing to make them happy- the next big party, the next big vacation, the next big THING to occupy them and make them feel alive. In doing this, people tend to confuse true happiness for momentary distractions that give them spurts of joy. When people compare these big moments to regular life... their life seems unthrilling, unexciting and rather depressing. It's a warping of the mind and it deludes the meaning of happiness.
Another thing many are guilty of is comparing the lives they live to the lives of movie stars on TV. TV shows are there for one reason- to entertain us. Everything you see is unrealistic. The expectations they seem to place upon us are unattainable in the long run... but once again, we compare them to our own lives and in comparison, our REAL lives look drab compared to the lavish, exciting and constant-moving worlds we are shown on TV. This is a foolish brainwashing of our society and it's a large part of why I don't watch TV. What so many of us forget is that the world around us is everchanging as well... we just too often have our heads in our phones or our faces glued to the TV to notice it. Seasons come and go, and before you know it everyone is posting on social media about how 2015 "flew by" and "disappeared". Every year with technology seems to go faster and faster- because we keep our heads down and just let it fly by. There's so much natural beauty to be found around. There are adventures to go on every day- go hiking, take a drive and get lost, try something new- but you'll never get anywhere sitting on your ass in front of a screen. Take the moment you are living in right now. And make it yours. ~Maddie
