Life is a very sudden experience.
You are born
And you die shortly after

The average life expectancy is seventy-eight years.
The world has been alive for billions of years.
You could have over 51 million lifetimes in that time.

Sometimes we forget how short our lives are.
One moment we are playing in a sand box,
And then suddenly we have a cap and gown on.

We hear it all the time,
"You only live once!"
"Make the best out of the life you get!"

But most of us don't grasp the concept of these little quotes.
They go in one ear and out the other.
So I will say it again.

Life is a very sudden experience.
You are born
And you die shortly after.
