There is that moment. Doesn't seem big at the time. But then, because of that moment, everything changes.
You no longer stand the same way. No longer have the same look. No longer have the same walk. No longer.
Is it irreversible. No. But you are different. Can you move past it. Yes. But you are never the same.
Maybe better. Maybe not. Only time will tell if the lesson was truly learned.
But make no mistake, the moment is always present. The choice.
The definition. The consequence. The unexpected result. The reaction to it.
Keep mindful of the moment. It could be a split second decision that sets you on a road never anticipated.
Once there, recalibrate. Get your footing back. Smile. It is all part of the human experience.
Imperfection at its most perfect.
The ageless experiment.
