The Friendship That Changed Everything

How One Relationship Shapes Who We Become

By: Cole Peterson

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

You're thinking about them. The friend who saw you differently. The friend who saw something in you that you didn't see in yourself. The friend who believed in you when you didn't believe in yourself. The friend who changed everything.

You think about who you were before you met them. Who you thought you were. Who you thought you could be. Who you thought you couldn't be. And then you think about who you became after you met them. Who you are now. Who you know you can be. Who you know you are.

And you realize: They changed everything. They saw you differently. They believed in you. They helped you see yourself differently. They helped you believe in yourself. They helped you become who you are now.
