Is there a friend you aren't as close with now but who taught something so impactful, it still affects who you are today?

Kudos to my college best friend.

We're still close and care about each other but she has other priorities now. Still, meeting her changed me. For the better, I believe.

Some of the words she said, I still remember every once in a while in unexpected circumstances. I wasn't even aware they stuck to me so much I remember her sharing them.

I was already kind. But she taught me to be better and nicer.

She isn't perfect but she tries. Her life isn't perfect either. But she tries so hard, and that right there is what makes her awesome to me.
