There are so many beautiful things in life. So many beautiful things. A sunset, a photograph, a smile, a wink, a special glance, a warm blanket. But so many sad things, too. Saying goodbye, death, the fear of death, the knowledge that things will always be a little less happy sometimes. That some things aren't meant to last. Oh, nothing is meant to last.

What if every moment of your life was a picture? Every single one would be so precious, so precious. Every single minute you breathe in, breathe out. Every click on your computer, every wrinkle of your face, every push of your feet against the earth.

If I had one wish, I would want every moment of my life to be special. I feel so mundane sometimes, so ordinary. Like I'm wasting my time. If I had one wish, I would wish for courage.

Here's to life. It is so beautiful. Every minute should be filled with love, delight, compassion, freedom. Every day should be celebrated like it would never happen again. Because it won't. Every minute is another chance. An opportunity to live.

I want to stop asking for chances. I have so many. I just need the courage to take them.
