All My Life

[First lines]

Jenn Carter: The average person lives 27,375 days. That's all we get, if we're lucky. 27,375. At first, I thought it didn't really seem like a lot of time. But then again, how many days do we really remember anyway? Most days pass by unnoticed, unremarkable, unmarked. Because we only remember the days when we feel something happened... something beautiful or tragic. Most days will pass in a blur. So many of mine did. They were lost in routine or school *or both*. I didn't notice my life was becoming a series of forgotten days. Everything was being saved for later. Live spontaneously, later. Travel, later. Find love, later. But everything can change in a day, and what might be missing become so very clear.
