Cherished Memories Overshadowed


Twenty-four hours in a day. Sixty minutes in an hour. Sixty seconds in a minute. Frequently, an abundant amount of time still appears little to us. This massive world is packed with engaged crowds of people in all directions. With precious time ticking on the clock, we tend to neglect the trivial and often times substantial things in life. It is beneficial to value these moments considering that they lead to the pleasure gained by our heart. Cherished memories overshadowed will never be relived once more. Seize the day and capture those split seconds so the future accompanies no remorse. Recollections such as the following…

 

Everlasting encouragement and teachings of morality arising out of parents

Attached high school occasions among friends

Insight bestowed through teachers

Sharing inside jokes from childhood with cousins

Obeying older brother’s convenient recommendations

Lengthy evening family gatherings brimming with meals and conversations

Celebrating Indian holidays with enthusiasm

Encounters with diverse individuals and witnessing sparkling smiles on unfamiliar faces

Restlessness during the first tennis match

Butterflies fluttering in the stomach in the course of class speeches

Relishing subjects of science for an enhanced perception of the medical field

Revealing sentiments of emotion through words of poetry

Walking for the sensitivity of serene surroundings and a stimulating mind

Accumulating cards for the flashbacks of past recollections

Searching for cloud configurations in the sky resembling multiple objects

Mastering the long-lasting staring contests

Lights going out and forsaking the area with complete darkness

Startling reactions from approaching storms

Unexpected snow days with no school and vigorously awaiting extended weekends

Summer vacation in magnificent Switzerland identical to heaven

Adventurous thrill of skydiving and zip lining

Black, lavish future car of Mercedes situated outside on the driveway

Purchasing a marvelous house visualized in dreams

Wishing at the sight of a shooting star

Praying to God early in the morning and thanking Him for the gift of a remarkable life
