Moments of Impact

"I have a theory. My theory is about moments, moments of impact. My theory is that these moments of impact, these flashes of high intensity that completely turn our lives upside down actually end up defining who we are. The thing is, each one of us is the sum total of every mount we've ever experienced, with all the people we've ever known, and it's these moments that become our history. Like our own personal greatest hits of memories that play and replay in our minds over and over again. A moment of impact. A moment of impact whose potential for change has ripple effects far beyond what we can predict. Sending some particles crashing together, making them closer than before. While sending others, spinning off into great ventures, landing where you never thought you'd find them. You see, that's the thing about moments like these, you can't, no matter how hard you try, control how they're going to affect you. You've just got to let the colliding particles land where they may, and wait, until the next collision." -The Vow
