There's That Moment

There's this moment-- and it happens to all of us-- at different times in our lives. It's hard to describe. It's that moment of huge eyes and panic, brief, silent, hysteria, and a fearful heart. It happens to the best, brightest, and beautiful.

It is the moment right when you are about to jump off of the high dive, or right when you feel like your feet can't touch the ground in the deep pool. It's the moment little kids have when they are learning how to swim-- they are half drowning with eyes and mouth barely out of the water. It's the moment when you've run too far and feel like you are going to hurl. It's the moment where you've gone to bed at 3am and have woken up at 5am and then have to get through a school day. It's the moment where you know that you have screwed up badly and can't make it right. If you've ever been in a vehicle accident of any kind, it's the moment right before collision. It's the moment before you get a test back that you either aced or failed. It's the moment before you have to go on stage to perform or accept. It's the moment before that long race. It's that moment right before you have to take those solo steps into a new life and a new world where you are on your own-- college.
