Dont Forget To Breathe

In this modern age, everything is fast-paced. If you can't keep up, you'll lose a great deal. More often than not, this society has created a timeline for us and we are all following it, willingly or unwillingly. Because of trying to keep up with the world, we often forget about what really matters. We forget about actually living.

I took this photo one relaxing afternoon, when I visited my friend who just gave birth. We spent the day keeping up with each other's lives and laughing about anything. It was a peaceful and quiet afternoon.

The only sound heard was the crashing of the waves, the laughter of children nearby playing in the seashore, and a cry of a baby seeking a mother's warmth. I realized, this is life. Maybe this is what really feels like to be living.
