They're not special because of what occurs, but because of the circumstances in which they occur. It's not necessarily just about the people or the place or the scenery or the time of day or the particular mix of emotions. It's about a combination of factors, a unique blend of elements that work together to create an indelible impression on our minds and hearts. We are certainly more than the sum of our experiences, but sometimes a single experience is more than the sum of all the rest.
Things that were once special can become mundane through overuse or painful experiences that become tied to what we once held dear. But the cause is not lost; shifting a few variables can reinvigorate our senses and revitalize our spirits. We can rediscover the specialness in ourselves and in our lives. I know that for a fact.
this is lovely and ridiculously applicable to my life right now.
