The short-lived moments



It is always the short-lived moments
That bring us joy and happiness.
Those moments we wish to prolong.
Instead they remain in our minds for long.
It is these moments that we find peace,
And hunger to solve a mystery of our lost pieces.
Yet again it is in same moments where we discover who we are, what we want and where we want to be. It is still these moments that hand us a chance to decide who we want to be in this messed up universe.
These are the moments where you either choose to hold on to your past experiences and close every curtain that leads to growth or Learn from each experience, let go and make room for growth.
The very same moments that give us a glimpse of the people we will be in the future, This is a moment right infront of you filled with so many choices. Who do you want to become?
