I saw one of my favorite bloggers (Monogram Meredith) blog about this video she saw from one of my other friends, Hallie on some social media some other day about jelly beans. Honestly, the only reason I watched this video was because I really love jelly beans.. They're so good.
But after watching it, I never stopped to realize how much time we spend doing things that, in the long run, will be so insignificant to who we are and who we become, like watching TV, "grooming", and preparing food/eating/drinking (which I know my number is WAY higher.. It's a never ending process). We spend much smaller amounts of time serving others.. 2,676 days spent watching TV compared to 564 days dedicated to serving others.
It put a visual picture to the short amount of time we have here, and how much time we've already used.. Which is scary enough. Sometimes I get so caught up in raising my ACT score 1 point or getting a good grade on my test, that I seem to forget that I have so many more days to worry or stress, and I am only 17 for so long. Senior year is quickly approaching and going our own ways is beginning to seem more and more real. I can't wait to finish out these last two years of high school well and with my best friends at my side. I hope I can invest my days in new ways, ways that impact others and cause others to feel loved and important.
I hope to use my jelly beans for good :)
Happy Tuesday!! All my love, Ash
