There's something about being reminded of something you said to someone that was life-altering for them, or gave them the slightest bit of direction in their life when they needed it the most.... and you had no clue you had had that effect on anyone or anything... or even that you could.

I feel on top of the world because a friend I hadn't spoken to in years popped up from nowhere just to tell me how I altered his life with my words and helped him survive through one of the worst times in his life.

Hassan, you just altered mine (:
