Life is the culmination of fleeting moments. Dare to blink and one disappears. Try to hold on to them and they pass by faster.
The past few months have been filled with these fleeting moments. Moments I’m aware are soon going to feel so far away; moments I will long to get back the next day.
Over the course of my last semester of college, I knew I was living in moments I would cherish. And they still went by in the blink of an eye. The more I tried to be present, to soak up every second, the moments fleeted faster.
Now, they’re gone, living in the past forever. Studying in the library for the last time. Standing in the student section with 90,000 people in the Swamp, simultaneously swaying to ‘We are the Boys.’ Hearing my name called in the O’Connell Center as I cross the graduation stage. Momentous moments, gone in the blink of an eye. Moments I will hold onto in my memories and yearn to live through again.
If I learned anything in college, it’s that life is full of these fleeting moments – enjoy them while they’re still there and try not to blink. I want to see it, feel it, live in it all, grasping at the moments as they become what once was.
