Unless I had to

A person I hold near and dear to my heart was quoted as saying something along the lines of "Ryan would tell you the truth, ask him."

I know it's not a very exciting quote, but the fact that I was able to gain that person's trust, enough that they would undoubtedly recommend my say on something speaks wonders about the kind of things they saw in me. I wonder if I'm still the same person today that I was then? I doubt so, seeing as everyone changes over time, even if it's ever so subtly. But I really do hope that I never lose some of those vital traits that I would like to have define me as an individual.
