Life doesn't happen to you, it happens FROM you.
~ Gregg Korrol
This is what storytelling gets you. You make things up that aren't real, and then get upset when they don't turn out as expected.
In that moment I understand that I have the power to create the situation right here, right now. I could walk past and say nothing, I could stop and talk, I could do whatever, and create a moment. Every moment is my moment to create.
