Things can change so quickly in life that it's important to remember to keep your eyes open long enough so to not miss anything. Nothing ever happens in the same way twice, so be sure that every time is noted and experienced...every time is the first time. The future always seems so far away, yet it's always at our fingertips. We spend so much of our lives counting down the seconds to when something will arrive when we don't even care about what we have in the moment. Then it's gone and we're devastated...it's because of that that we must learn to appreciate things as they come and as they go. That way, nothing is ever forgotten or unnoticed.

We often don't notice that things are becoming more and more different. We wake up one day and everything is changed. The small amounts over time that have evolved never seem to alert us. Therefore we don't always notice until it's over or gone. While it'd be nice to say that "looking harder" would fix this problem, it's not the answer. I don't think that there is an answer other than to live today like it's your last and to not take anything for granted...you'll never know if tomorrow everything will be gone.
