This quote is talking about someone who felt like they had no purpose in life. This person felt lifeless, like they were not alive, and had no direction or purpose. They could still see the world around them, but without the joy and passion of life. Then, someone came into this person’s life and changed everything. This person suddenly felt alive and happy, as if they had been awakened from a deep sleep. This person felt a new sense of hope and purpose, and was grateful for the person who changed their life.
