I Bet Your Phone is Within 5 Feet of You at this Exact Moment

Today I have been touched by inspiration. I have been inspired by numerous people to truly reflect on how special life is. Thinking about how technology and our phones have changed us and force us to not look at our surroundings. Instead, they hoard our attention as we mindlessly scroll through our news feed and check our emails. Life is something that is happening around us all the time, and sometimes we miss out on the best moments simply because of that darn device sitting at least 5 feet from you right now. 

All of these thoughts about life have forced me to think about the moments in my life where I have truly felt alive. Moments that are so cliche they seem fake. However, those moments are times where every single part of my body has literally felt on fire. It's moments where I can feel the energy in my soul. Times where I just want to close my eyes and absorb every single sense. I challenge you to think about one specific moment that has made you get a similar feeling. A moment where life has felt so real you wish you could go back just to be able to experience the same thing. 

There have been multiple times where I have been in a boat with the strong wind catching my hair. Times like these I feel like I'm flying. I feel like it's just me and the water that seems to go on forever. Those moments feel so organic and so rejuvenating that no matter what mood I was in before I feel relaxed. I feel the fire in my fingertips and energy in my soul. I feel untouchable. 

Sometimes there are moments where I will be with my friends and looking up at the stars walking in the dark and I just all of sudden feel as if I can't hear anything but the white noise of people laughing and talking. I just look up and smile because I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to be able to experience so many things life has to offer. It's as if I don't hear anything but the sound of my cheeks going up because of how big the smile on my face is. 

Music makes me feel infinite. I feel like I can literally sing at the top of my lungs and drive forever. It makes me go back into crystal clear memories. But also creates new ones. Driving with the radio playing way too loud and the windows done is something that makes me feel more alive than almost any other feeling. 

Regardless of what feeling it is. What memory or moment come to mind.. life is something that is worth living. Every single second of it. Some people rush around life just going one place to the next and never really stopping to breathe and think about that specific moment, don't be one of those people. Treat every moment like it is the most precious moment you have ever been in. Because when you do, life truly is a gift.
