I Live For The Moments ...

It's the little things in life.

Given all of the madness that is going on in the world today, it is easy to get caught up in the chaos and forget about the things that make the life we live so beautiful. There are so many unspoken times where I just sit there and think, "Wow, this is what I live for." Many of these moments are simple, silly things that don't seem important, but to me, these simple moments are what deserve the most recognition, yet receive the least. I would like to share a few of those moments with you to shed appreciation on some things that make me feel truly alive.

I live for the moments my family is sitting around the dinner table laughing and talking about life.

I live for the moments it is chilly outside, and I am drinking hot cocoa next to my fireplace with slippers.

I live for the moments I'm dancing with my girlfriends and in that second, thinking about how grateful I am for them.

I live for the moments I see two people in love, the kind of love where you can feel the happiness radiating from them.

I live for the moments I'm on a long car ride blaring music and singing my heart out.

I live for the moments I see God's plan, and finally recognize that even when I doubted it, everything truly did happen for a reason.

I live for the moments I eat an obscene amount of ice cream with not a care in the world about the calories.

I live for the moments I see people embracing their 'weirdness' because it inspires me to embrace mine.

I live for the moments my dad calls me just to ask how my day is.

I live for the moments an old song comes on that I forgot about and it brings up so many memories that I had back in the day.

I live for the moments I lay in bed all day, relaxing, watching youtube videos, neglecting all my responsibilities because who cares?

I live for the moments I realize how proud I am of a hard decision I had to make that turned out for the best.

I live for the moments I witness karma doing someone good.

I live for the moments that I mess up and then realize that it is OK.

I live for the moments I get excited about something little like wearing a new outfit.

I live for the moments I get to look back at pictures because I find it so cool that I get to relive whatever memory I made in the second that photo was taken.

I live for the moments someone tells me their appreciation for me when I had no clue the effect I had on them.

I live for the moments that I miss my mom, thinking how I am lucky enough to have someone I care so much about that I am affected when they are not around.

I live for the moments I catch myself getting scared of something like a little kid does because that means that I'm not that grown-up after all.

I live for the moments I see someone doing a kind act that inspires me to do better.

I live for the moments I get caught up in a passionate, deep conversation with someone.

I live for the moments I'm laughing at nothing with people that bring out the best in me.

Most importantly ... I live for the moments that make me feel alive.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
