ten minutes ago give or take, i ordered a sub sandwich from my local jersey mike’s and the older fellow in front of me asked for twenty dollars cash-back. on his way out he tapped me on the shoulder, opened my hand, and tucked the 20 into it. i don’t have random acts of kindness like that happen to me very often but this made my whole week- i work retail and deal with a lot of bullshit from people every day, so when someone goes out of their way even to just hold the door it means more than you might think. i did a similar thing for a woman last week that i met under a bridge while i was out exploring (i gave her a few unopened bottles of powerade, granola bars, my favorite lighter, and the change in my wallet) and i kind of think it’s good vibes coming back to me- anyone have a memory of someone doing something nice for you (or vice-versa) that has stuck with you? i’d love to hear about it ❤️
