15 Short Poems To Remind You That Life Is Freaking BEAUTIFUL
Sometimes we need a little reminder of what's really important.
When it comes life, we sometimes have a hard time seeing the really great things that come with it. We could be having a really terrible day, where NOTHING is going our way, and we just can't seem to look at the bright side. Or, we could get wrapped up in the same old boring routine day to day, and forget just how precious each and every one of those days is.
Either way, it's not difficult to take life for granted.
But just because it's easy to forget about the rest of the world, it's important to remember to "look up" and remember where you came from. We need to appreciate our lives and the beautiful world and people around us.
As Ferris Bueller famously said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
And he's totally right. The world we're so lucky enough to live in offers us some of the most amazing sights and experiences. A lot of people just muddle through their day and aim to just make it through the week. But life is more than that — it's about getting out there, seeing the world, making memories, and certainly living with no regrets.

Reading her writing inspires us to become one with the ocean, the wildflowers, and the storms. She reminds us to stop, breathe and look around. To appreciate the world we live in and the lives we're given.
Check out a select few of our favorites of hers here, and remember to love the people around you.
