For those who might ask "What does that even mean?", this is what I'm reading that triggered the question: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/transformative-experience/

Recent can mean the most recent you can remember, even if it was years ago. Interested in what y'all might say.

Adopting a cat. I don't know how I managed to live without her.

Getting a social worker.

They're like small, bratty but loveable children you don't need to start a college fund for. Definitely game changers for many.

I'm glad your were able to get assistance from a social worker, no matter what the circumstances were.

Dodo isn't even all that bratty. She has her own baggage. We just fit together well.

And seriously the social worker! Without them I wouldn't have moved, I wouldn't have household help for being chronically ill and currently they are fighting tooth and nail to get my name legally changed. Among with all the other everyday red tape germany is so fond of. And there's still loads more to address eventually.
