It’s the moment you're at the beach watching the waves crash on shore

It’s the moment you drive to get taco Bell with your best friend at 12am

It’s the moment when you are sitting in class, and realize that this is what you want to do with your life. The teacher is lecturing on on, and all you can think is “yeah I got this.”

It’s the moment you are leaving a friends house and that say, “text me when you get home, so I know you're safe” and you realize that she is your person.

It’s the moment you fail your first class and realize that you need to try harder.

It’s the moment you're having dinner with your mom, and you realize that she has given up so much for you, and that she will continue to put her life on hold so that yours can move forward.

It’s the moment at the end of a good movie, when you're sad for a split second because it's over.

It’s the moment you start a good book, and suddenly you find yourself 10 chapters in and can’t put it down.

It’s the moment you're getting ready with your best friend for prom.

It’s the moment you walk across the stage, and all of the sudden you graduated High School.

It’s the moment you get you college acceptance letter in the mail.

It’s the moment you stop to look at the lovely flowers they are selling at the farmers market.

It’s the moment you see your dog for the first time in a while and their excitement and love for you is so overwhelming you never want to leave again.

It’s the moment when you and your best friend make up after a long and awful fight, and you're sitting at Perkins until 2am talking.

It’s the moment you look up at the stars because you can't sleep and you see the beauty of this world we live in.

It’s the moment you you're moving out, and look back as you're driving away.

It’s the moment before you move back in to your college apartment and you're grabbing breakfast with your grandparents, talking about life and learning more about them.

It’s the moment you call your aunt and uncle and sit on the phone for hours and hours.

It’s the moment you wake up before your alarm and get to see the sun rise.

It’s the moment you're sitting at the coffee shop down the street and meet him.

It’s the moment after the storm and its calm.

It’s the moment before you fall asleep and everything is peaceful.

It’s all about these little moments.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
