I had no idea that a single dismal night could have such a profound effect on my perception of others. I'd always focused on myself, building strong walls around myself, but that all changed when I met someone else. To be honest, I was apprehensive about making small talk with others. After years of being told they'd hurt me, I finally trusted someone with all of my heart and let go of my preconceived notions.
