Eeeeeee! I love this! I'm so delighted to read this and so proud of the absolute badass you are. I found myself touching my own cheek reading it.

Every now and then I am lucky enough to step out of a moment and notice that I am having a formative experience. To get even more meta with it I almost always end up wondering during that moment if it will be as memorable as I think it is. I haven't written these moments down though, and definitely do forget sometimes - at least temporarily. But largely the memories stick.

This phenomenon does seem to happen in both positive and negative moments for me which I find interesting. It almost feels like a form of mindfulness practice. I wonder if it can be similarly cultivated by habit or practice.
