But when he listed the times when I had been of huge influence in his life, it was like my 20s just flashed before me and the emotions swelled up.
Moments like these... I think they're as powerful as keni's favorite kind of moments --
butterfly moments
I don't have a word for these moments, but I know exactly them. I know them when it strikes me and likewise when something I do strikes in others.
They happen infrequently enough that I somehow always forget to optimize for them. In a day to day... when I'm not reflective enough I may think that such moments are stupid and nonsensical... way not worth their
ROI
... why optimize for something that happens once in a blue moon?!
but then one happens to you. and then you just know.
Ah if there could be one point to life universally. this is one point.
