For better or worse. Small scale or large. Personal or shared. What is an event you've experienced that changed the way you act, live, feel, etc. It could be short-term or long. Share what you feel comfortable with. Triumphs and tragedies alike.

Covid. For the first time I understood that a lot of people simply do not care about anyone but themselves. I've come to understand that more and more recently. On the bright side, I now value the people who do a lot more.

I learned this at a much younger age thanks to my step father and mother. Though it never really set in or was actioned on until much later in my 20s when I was out of their reach/strings.
