~:[CH13 - Day 141]:~ Life in 30 Frames per Second
One of the first things they teach you in video editing class is that each second of standard video has 30 frames in a second. In our lives, we think of the future, where we are headed and where we want to go, but do we ever think of this very moment, down to the frame within that second? This single moment captured within that second will be something we look back on and remember for a lifetime. It's easy to look forward to a birthday or graduation, but it's the frames in between that sometimes we overlook and cherish. As we count down the years, the months or the days, maybe we can view life by frame. Thirty frames per second, which equates to over 2.5 million moments within a single day. They often say appreciate the little things and while we don't have the ability to realize the 2.5 million variations in the day, I know we can find a handful of moments to appreciate. Tonight, there were so many moments to appreciate. From looking back on old memories, to saying goodbye to the seniors, and being together one last time, within the time we had over 400,000 moments we can select from the cherish. If there was not a second you were happy today, I hope that you can at least start by finding a single frame where you found some type of joy and happiness and work from there. I wasn't sure how this season would turn out, but by season's end, the team came together and found success. We survived through countless number of frames sheltered together under the canopies away from the rain, many other frames fighting off colds because of it, other frames of our lives trying to survive the heat just a few days later, to this moment where all those frames passed within a blink of an eye. Appreciate all of the moments you have on this earth, as each of them are precious and while you can acquire more wealth or new things, the one thing you can never get back is time, so treat each of those frames like the precious things they are.
