We all have moments in life that we wished could last forever. Those moments are full of joy, astonishment and uniqueness.

In those very moments, we understand why it is a gift to be human. Also, these moments leave a dent in our brains by creating our fondest memories.

Upon reflection of these moments, we often ask ourselves the question, what if these moments could last forever? It would even be wonderful to be able to bottle up the feelings we had at the moment and carry them with us throughout the rest of life.

It is often because of these moments we live life in a cycle. We are always trying to relive the moments we have had in the past. Trying our best to feel the same again, but it never seems to work.

Whether we like it or not, our lives are more than just moments. Our lives are a constant battle, through good and bad. But those great moments do give us a reason to keep moving forward.

Our Greatest Memories Keep Us Going

On second thought, we should be happy those moments do not last forever. We would lose appreciation for them and never be driven to experience any more than what we have.
