It's amazing how one text, a medium that people often think to be shallow and insignificant, can truly change someone's outlook on life. A while ago, this very situation happened to me.

I was in a rather low point at this time; I was trying to get over the fact that I was being treated terribly by someone I had thought to care a lot for me. I couldn't help but to fight the feeling that I was insignificant, that my future would turn out to be lonely, and I felt as though talking about my feelings was starting to annoy my friends.

Then one day, I received a text from someone else; in it, I received a message I thought I would never get: an apology for the way they had treated me long before. I was told that I was "an amazing person" and that I didn't deserve what I had been dealt.

Instantly, my future started to look brighter. I realized that I was far from the insignificance that I had thought, and that one day I would be able to find someone who (as a good friend always tells me) "will think the sun shines out of me." I was even finally able to focus on other things that were significant to me, such as the importance of my friends and even some upcoming events.

Although I tried to express my gratitude to the person who sent that text, I don't think they are aware of the impact it had on me. It allowed me to open up to new experiences and that might be out of my comfort zone, and appreciate the experiences and people already around me. I never thought that one text could make me feel so much better about myself, but I'm so glad I was wrong.
