A stranger once shared food with me and talked me down from fear when a snow squall stranded us at the peak of a hike. I think often about this person’s willingness to help and how it completely transformed that experience.

Someone bought me a few dollars in gas. I was paying in pennies and nickels, what I could spare after buying some small food. The lady behind me took notice. She approached me as I pumped my droplets of gas, and said something like “There’s 10 dollars on that pump for you after your done”.
I was so grateful, and even slightly ashamed at my own predicament due to some learned behavior of self hatred.
I pumped 6 dollars and went in to get the difference. I left there with more gas than I would have had, and 4 whole dollars as a small comfort.
Thank you so much to all the kind people that make living worthwhile.
