Hello Everyone,
Life is truly full of surprises sometimes things don’t go the way we expect and our day can feel completely ruined but i have learned that one act of kindness even from someone you don’t know can change everything that is why I will never forget a certain stranger who once showed me kindness when I least expected it.
It happened some years back on a very stressful day i was coming back from an appointment that did not go well and my mind was heavy to make matters worse it was raining heavily that evening, and I was stranded at the bus stop i did not have an umbrella and I was already soaked the buses were scarce because of the rain, and the few that passed by were too full to pick up more passengers at that point i honestly felt defeated I stood there shivering, tired and thinking of how long it would take me to get home that was when a woman I had never met before came close to me she was holding a big umbrella, and she simply shifted it so that I would not keep getting drenched she did not even say much just smiled and asked are you heading towards town I nodded and she told me we could wait together until the rain reduced or a bus came.
That simple act touched me deeply she did not know me yet she cared enough to share her umbrella as we stood there we started talking she asked about my day, and I shared a little about what I was going through she encouraged me and said Sometimes life will test you, but you just have to believe that tomorrow will be better those words stayed with me because they came at the right time after a while when a bus finally came, it was already almost full I did not even have enough cash with me because I had spent most of what I had earlier that day to my greatest surprise the woman paid my transport fare without hesitation she just smiled and said don't worry about it just get home safely.
I was speechless I did not even know how to thank her properly when I finally reached my stop I waved goodbye but deep inside knew I would never forget that moment that stranger didn’t just help me stay dry in the rain she gave me hope on a day when everything felt heavy thinking about it now I realize that kindness does not always come from the people we know Sometimes it comes from strangers who simply choose to care that woman taught me that it costs nothing to be kind but the impact can last forever.
Even today whenever I see someone struggling at a bus stop or in need of help i try my best to do something even if it is small because I know how it feels when a simple act of kindness makes a ruined day bearable and that is why I will never forget that stranger and the lesson she gave me through her kindness.
