You know the age old saying, "Take only pictures, leave only footprints"? Well, I realized today, when someone asked me about my favorite adventure, it's not the photos that I remember. It's not the images that I've printed or posted to Facebook. It's not the albums I've made or the pictures I framed. It's the memories that I remember the most. It's the moments that took my breath away, the ones that made me feel invincible. The smell of pine and the wind blowing against my skin. Those are the things that can't be captured in photographs. But it's what we take away inside us that really makes it memorable. And no one else is able to feel what we do. It's a personal and intimate experience. And some moments aren't for sharing. They're for our own telling; a way to keep the experience alive. Because no one else is ever going to feel the exact same way you do. And that's why those moments and those feelings and those memories are so special. It's because they're unique.
So venture outside and create those moments that you will hold inside of you forever. Remember the way they made you feel and you will always carry with you a gift of a moment that can never be replaced or repeated.
