Defining Moments

Defining moments. A friend of mine and I were talking today about defining moments. Points in a person’s life that they are changed forever. A time when someone is forced to find a “new normal”. The mere words “defining moment” allude to the thought that one day one specific thing happens and a person is suddenly changed. That their new “definition” is clean cut and easy to discern. That has not been the case for me though. My defining moments have been a process. A long drawn out process that seems like a whirlwind with no definition whatsoever. Only in the last few months, as I am years beyond my “moment”, am I able to see the definition that was supposed to come of it.
