One Moment

Is that all it really takes? One word, one phrase, one call, or just one instance to turn everything around in your life. I think so. The biggest changes in our lives, well at least in my own, usually occur in the blink of an eye. Sometimes we can pinpoint when it all changed and other times it becomes lost in the shuffle, but it was still there. Yet, its those moments that define us.

My lowest and highest moments all began with one sudden change in my life. That one instantaneous change would spark something incredibly great or truly devastating. I'm just in awe of it all really. It's really marvelous.

It has been a variety of moments for me, both good and bad, throughout my life. Most of which I'm not going to name here because a) I don't feel comfortable telling the world and b) some of these opportunities have not come to fruition yet and I have a tendency of talking about things before they become a reality and ruining them; therefore, I'm not going to discuss them now.

However, though, I will blog about some hypotheticals that hopefully someone can relate with what I have to say.
- Saying goodbye to someone you care about and knowing that your life will go on without them.
- Getting that call and hearing on the other line that what you've fought so hard for can finally be yours.
- Seeing her face for the first time in a crowded place that you shouldn't have been at to begin with and believing in something you thought only existed in our own imaginations.
- Realizing that there's something bigger than you ever thought before out there.
- Losing it all and accepting that you are at your lowest.

We've all heard or talked about defining moments. Those instances where opportunity stares you in the face and we can either take it or let it go. We may not always be able to simply reach out and seize it, but we can embrace the change it brings into our life. That's all we really can do, embrace what comes our way.
I don't really think I put forth a very clear idea in this blog, but my general feeling right now is one of hopefulness. Hopeful of the moments that change us in such distinct ways. This feeling is very fragile right now, but I feel that things generally work themselves out. It's what makes life worth living.
