Cherish What You Have

Maybe my peers and I spend our days either fooling around laughing, or feeling down for some reason or another. But when you are spending your parents’ hard-earned money on entertainment; when you are falling in love, hand-in-hand with your girlfriend (or boyfriend); or even when you feel completely hopeless about life—do you ever think of your family?

It is always when we lose things and can’t get them back that we realize we didn’t cherish them enough. Are we really that busy every day? I’ve never believed we are actually that busy; it’s mostly just an excuse. The truth is simply that we didn’t cherish or prioritize those who matter. And it’s only when they are gone that we are left with the realization of our own past immaturity and a heart full of regret.
