IS THIS PASSAGE ALL RIGHT?

Can ever one moment completely change your life? You would obviuosly say – yes, it can. But I wish the moment I’ve had in my life had really changed it. But it hasn’t. It’s smashed my life to pieces – to tiny pieces. And this is now impossible to collect them together. Strange the way you slowly realize that everything you tried to achieve is nothing. And frightening to apprehend that your life, in that case, is nothing too. It’s shocking and immediate – like someone had thrust a dagger into your heart and left him in the wound. And your wound festers as time goes by. My wound was words and then their proof.

IS THIS PASSAGE RIGHT GRAMMATICALLY. I mean CAN EVER ONE MOMENT..., why not CAN ONE MOMENT EVER CHANGE... and so on. You got me right?
