Sometimes the slightest things change the directions of our lives, the merest breath of a circumstance, a random moment that connects like a meteorite striking the earth. Lives have swiveled and changed direction on the strength of a chance remark. Everyone has that one friend who you think is really cool. You meet him or her in a coffee shop but then you realize that they are not super-cool anymore, they are just another average person.
This can be quite frustrating because you stopped being friends with this person because you realized they were not cool. However, this realization may have changed your life. It’s true that sometimes it is not about being cool or fashionable but about being needed in your life.
