A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...Well more like last year in New Westminster, is where my pivotal moment took place. It was a cold winter day, but the sun had not yet set over the horizon. I had just gotten out of dance class, and it was a Friday afternoon so I was eager to tackle the weekend and relax. That day I was wearing converse, and it was taking me awhile to tie them up.
