That is the age when everything changed for you. Every lifetime contains pivot points—sometimes flukes of destiny, sometimes seemingly preordained—that shape and eventually cement one’s path. These moments, as unique to each individual as strands of DNA, can at their best cause the sensation of a catapult into the shimmer of stars. At the opposite extreme, they can feel like a descent into quicksand.
Oh, we worked really hard on this passage. We venture that most people can name a “pivot point” in their life - a moment that changed its course forever. For some, it might be a wonderful event, such as falling in love, which we equate with “catapulting into the shimmer of stars.” Or it might be something negative- “a descent into quicksand.” When we worked on this section, it made us to think about the pivot points in our own lives. One of our most positive ones was certainly when we decided to collaborate together as a writing team!
