“Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take; but by the number of times that your breath is taken away.”
At my girlfriends house on the wall.
This is a very great quote that I love to read every time that I go to my girlfriend’s house. I think that this quote is very true and that everybody should think about how true it is. This describes all of the times in life that you remember the most. It can also describe the moments that you meet new people.
I think that in life there are a bunch of times when people have fun, but there are only a couple of times when people get their breath taken away. These times are very important times in a person’s life. When I think about someone getting their breath taken away I think about someone falling in love for the first time. I also think about when someone gets engaged or when someone has a baby. I have not personally experienced any of these situations but when I do I think my breath will be taken away.
In my life personally I have had my breath taken away only a few times. I remember these times very well and there is no way that I would ever trade that time of my life away for anything. The first time it happened was when I was in seventh grade. I fell in love with this girl or thought I was in love with her. I am not in love with her anymore, but I still would not take that moment back for anything.
Even though almost all of the time when a person gets their breath taken away is a happy moment, sometimes the moment is not always good. When a person loses someone that is very close to them I think it will take their breath away. I consider myself very lucky right now because this moment has not happened in my life yet. On the other hand I know one day something bad will happen, so I know I will experience it someday.
