A moment.
I often find myself waiting for certain things, memories, moments.
The turning of my tassel.
In my head I thought that that moment would be one of the biggest in my life. That in that instant the world as I knew it would change.
I was wrong.
It wasn’t nearly as exciting as I’d always imagined, not nearly as memorable.
What was?
Slip-n-sliding with my friends the next day.
I guess my point is this. That when we plan our “big” moments, waiting patiently until they come, we miss out on what truly matters – life. Because it isn’t the “big” moments that define us but the “little” ones.
In my head that one action was supposed to define me, to start me on the path to my future. In reality it’s not that black and white. I started down that road long before I moved my tassel from one side to the other. It wasn’t in one “big” defining moment but in thousands of “little” ones.
It was in the friendships, the laughs, the tears, the sweat, the excitement, the pain, the heartache, the prayers, the hugs, the kisses, the handshakes, the parties, the sermons, the fears, the losses, the deaths and in new life.
These are the moments I’ll always remember.
These are the moments that have defined who I am, who I’ll become.
A moment.
Some “big” most “little“.
A memory.
A stories beginning.
The BIG moment..
The LITTLE ones.
