It's weird the differences in intensity and length of relationships affects the influence that a person has on another (or at least in me)...

Though I have close friends that keep me sane and grounded on a daily basis, a brother and sister who I see on occasion give such wonderful advice and listen so thoroughly that I'm left forgetting what I was stressing about earlier.

then there's a boy who makes me forget what I was thinking about 10 seconds before...
