random acts of kindness.

Being at the reservoir always clears my head. 

Last night I walked from my place to the reservoir, as I have done many times over. Sat there listening to music, thinking about things. What to do with my life, what I want out of this life. Where my life is going. If that is where I want my life to go. How to be a better person. How to get to where I want to be. 

I lost track of time and at about 2am a 20-something guy tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I was okay. He said it was not normal for a girl to be sitting alone at the reservoir at that hour; he thought I might have been there to kill myself. I laughed. He asked if I needed to talk. 

I ended up pouring my heart out to a complete stranger for the next hour and a half. 

Sometimes it is so much easier to talk to a stranger. No judgement. No preconceived notions. No prior understanding or biasness. 

And he just listened. "I hope you find what you're looking for. It will get better." A smile. And then he walked me to the main road and left. 

I never even got his name. 

Random acts of kindness and humanity.... you never how much they can help. 

There's always someone who cares.
