Experiences

It is Feb.6.2013 and i really want to start blogging again. I meant to say *start blogging, i don't really think one post counts. I have grown so much as a person since my last post, i have had so many more experiences in life that i can look back and see as important. Experiences, it's a very abstract yet very much tangible term. Abstract in the way that it's all but a memory nothing that you can touch. But tangible in that experiences can be felt and are very much real. Experiences are what make a personality and a human grow. I went to Cherry Laurel a old age community the other day to volunteer, and the old man there told me as i was leaving "make sure you experience as much as you can". He told me as though he felt as though there was something that he felt like he did not experience. I'm sure this is a common feeling at the end of a life time to think about all the things you "didn't " do instead of all the things you "did". Well let me just come out and say this, every single person on this planet has different experiences and different ways of interpreting them(except maybe conjoined twins?(naahhh!!)). You think about the things you lost out on but it's hard to think about the things you gained at the same time, experiences which many people at the end of their lives wish they had. I for one love the fact that i get to spend so much time with my family, something a lot of people at the end of their lives wish they had done. There are other people traveling the world right now at my age and i know that's not an experience i am having, but i am content with where i am, and feel as though i have done nothing i will look back and regret upon. In the next post i will talk about how experiences are made and what really makes them special. I have recently been caught up in thinking about how important moments are, single moments of life which we need to appreciate more.
