lingering memories

Have you ever missed something so much, you feel like you're going to burst at any time with just the thought of it? Does it ever pains you to know that it's not until later, or maybe never, that you will have that serene feeling again? When you think about it, do you wonder if there's a possibility of making it reoccur over and over again? I think there are times in our lives that, even though it's hard to admit, some things might never repeat again. In this case, I am not talking about the tragedies in history like the Holocaust or the World Wars, because we all know that those are things we definitely don't want to occur again. No, I'm talking about the moments in time when you want it to last forever, or as long as possible. So what if that's a selfish thought, but it can't be helped. Humans ARE selfish beings. Is it wrong to just wish for a the moment to last? I don't think so. In the eyes of others' it might be unfathomable to them, yet to others, the emotions will still linger like it was just yesterday. And sometimes, when you think about it, it just upsets and cheer you up at the same time. Hence, I think it's safe to say that you should cherish every moment of your life, and reduce the possibilities of regrets in your life as much as possible. It's only a regret when you know you can't fix it. If you can fix it, yet you don't want to then it's your own selfishness and laziness to not bother. Yet, when you can fix the issue, it won't be a regret anymore. We only live once, so live the fullest. I know it's a cheesy saying, but you know it's true.
