What, or who, has saved your life?

Opening my eyes and looking for something more saved my life.  I used to be much less interested in what is happening around me and in the world.  I knew that I didn't like it, so I tried to shut it out in many ways.  Learning more and in turn wanting to learn more and more changed who I am and allowed me to become more fully me.  It saved me from apathy and unchallenged discontent.  I am still very unhappy with the world, but I understand it better now, and I hope it can be changed.
