In a beautiful story that highlights the importance of living every day like it could be your last, 26-year-old Jamie Parker just remembered to live in the moment, something she does every six months on the dot.
Nice! Don’t let life pass you by… some of the time!
“I was just walking down the street when I passed a rosebush and thought to myself, ‘You know what? I have got to live in the moment more,’” Jamie told reporters gathered at the scene. “So I stopped and smelled the rosebush. Me! Can you believe that? It’s so important to be present.”
Jamie is hoping to apply this small reminder to be present to the rest of her life, but sources close to her are pretty sure it won’t last long.
“She makes a pact to ‘live in the moment,’ like, twice a year,” said Jamie’s roommate, Tyla McGuiness. “It’s a sweet idea and all, but then she forgets by the end of the day and returns to being on her phone 24/7.”
Meanwhile, Jamie was busy smiling at dogs passing by and tilting her head up to the sky to bask in the rays of the sun.
“We only get this one life,” she continued, pausing to lay in the grass. “We simply must cherish it. What are the odds that we’re all here, together, at this very moment in time? Near-zero. We should be so grateful for every second we have on this planet! I’m going to go buy groceries for my neighbor.”
Sources confirm Jamie simply does not know who her neighbor is or where they might be at this time.
“It happens every time she forgets to charge her phone,” Tyla continued. “The second it boots up again, though, she’ll forget she was ever trying to catch bubbles in the park.”
Despite this mentality never having “stuck” before, Jamie is confident that this time, she really will alter her life for good.
“I can tell this is going to be a lasting change,” she continued. “This is the first day of the rest of my life!”
As of press time, Jamie’s phone rebooted and she promptly forgot she was trying to live in the moment, instead choosing to spend three hours rotating through four social media apps.
