You ever think that your life can change in just one moment.

No matter what else happens, you know that that one moment held so much significance that you will never be the same again.

It can be tiny. Just a second, but you know in your heart that everything has changed.

You can't escape it.

You can't reject it.

You are just different.

And everything else is to.

It's just scary to think that we are created each moment.

We only have one direction.

We can't turn around.

Once we have decided something, then we carry on that path and each moment after feels like a new beginning.

Because it is.

Every thought unspoken, every breath not taken, every touch not given, every love not shared is one more moment that we can never get back.

We live too many minutes thinking about what we're doing and how it will affect us, that we miss our opportunities.

Can we not just jump?

Dive into the unknown?

Fall into the impossible…

For in only one moment, one second, we can all change.

Exist for those moments.

The ones that challenge you.

Scare you.

Define you.

The moments that make you who you are -

For they come at any time and there is no way to prepare.
