Appreciate that Moment

So, this week I had badminton camp from Monday to Friday. It was incredibly fun and I can't believe that it's already over. I feel like time just passed away so fast, and I haven't had time to process everything. I feel sad that I didn't have time to appreciate every moment during the camp. I know it may sound silly- after all, it is just a camp, but it's a badminton camp. It seems like when you have fun, time is no longer as slow as waiting for that school bell to ring on a Friday afternoon.

Now I think of all the great times I've had in my life, and how I have failed to appreciate them during the moment. I always seem to appreciate it after it happens, which is too late, since the moment has already passed.

Life, and time, are tricky things. I wish I could control them, but at the end, I know that I can only do so much. All good things will always come to an end, no matter how much I try to convince myself that I can change that.

Next time you're having a good time, or if you're just simply very happy, try to remember that moment.

That moment will eventually end, but appreciating it will maybe help you yearn less for it, instead, you just might feel satisfied that you took the time to enjoy that moment.

  1. You're definitely right. And that post sounded very poetic in a way. :) I remember 6th grade was so great that when it came to 7th grade it was terrible and i missed so much of it. :( But I hope I can enjoy 8th grade. :) I suck at sports but it's nice you had fun. :D

    1. You're welcome Becca! You are very right too, sometimes, I wish I could just freeze a moment in time and be able to relive it forever :)

  5. I like badminton too. It is a fun and pure sport. You don't have to worry too much about being injured. Just look at the horrible Hokey. Smashing into opponents is routinely practices. More rules should be imposed for such games.

    1. You are spot on right! Though in my country, hockey is the most well-known and and probably most-played sport... But I still agree that all those blows to the heads, and not just in hockey- football, boxing, etc- are just plain wrong and should not be taken as a way of entertainment.

      Thanks for commenting!
