Something a little different (and a little more personal)

Allo again.
I recently decided that I wanted to seek out some advice (not just "yes or no" this time) about a few things. Mind you, this might get a little personal, and at times, possibly a little emo. Ah well, that's life, right? So, here it goes.
There are times in our lives when we encounter something, perhaps by chance, or by fate. Be it a saying, a song, tune, or movie, something we come across changes us a little, or a lot. I'm wondering if other people have encountered these things in their lives.
This might seem a little confusing, so allow me to provide an example. When I was little, my favorite movie of all time was Balto. I always dreamed of being like him, determined and free, kind and sweet. It changed me to hear of the story of Balto. When Balto 2 came out, naturally, I saw it. There was one scene with Allu and Muru (the little mouse), where Muru starts talking about spirits, and fate and destiny. In that moment, I was overwhelmed with a strangeness. Perhaps I realized I was just like Allu, seeking my own destiny with no idea of who I am. I always felt alone, but the song gave me comfort. It made me realize that I'm not alone, that someone, or some thing is watching me, guiding me, protecting me. At times, they seem invisible, or non-existant, but when you need the most, they are there. We can sense them, but not see them. Such a mysterious light of comfort....
I wonder if anyone else has had a moment like that, brought on by something that shouldn't be significant.
