One Step Forward

There are too many moments in life we wish we could remember, lock away in a secret place only to pull them out when our hearts grow heavy. A reminder that there are things to smile about, good people, wonder in the world. But we tuck these instances, these moments away and forget. Forget that despite language barriers, you taught a girl to whistle, had a full conversation, found your destination, had an amazing day. One simple, simply amazing day. And tomorrow, or one day down the road, when the monotony of life hits hard and fast, you can pull that out of hiding, feel the warmth and happiness, accomplishment, wonder. Remember that you made that happen. You made it happen simply by taking one single step forward. And remind yourself there are many more to take.
