Have you ever, given someone a major step up in life, been a mentor, and measurably altered the trajectory of their life for the better? (lemmy.world)

I don't think one could consider me as ever having been a mentor in the sense one is looking for, but someone I remained friendly with despite her being an outcast among everyone else made me happy when she implied I gave her hope that someone could be proud of her, her finishing by saying "and that resonates more than even some questionable romantic companion might". She says she thinks of me whenever dealing with anything, "like an internal Jesus".
