And... just like that... crash.
There are moments in life we know will change us forever - holding our first child for the first time, or getting a drivers' license, or quitting a job...
And then there are moments we never see coming, much less can comprehend how very much they will change us.
Test results from the doctor. Another driver passing on double yellows into our lane. A violent storm that sweeps into our neighborhood. A 3am text message from the other woman.
And then there are those moments which we should know will change everything, but we facilitate them anyway.
Like speaking before we think. Saying words we can't take back. Breaking something that's already been broken so badly that it's barely held together, as is.
You can always try to cram the pieces back together again, but they'll never fit the way they once did.
