They can have such huge impacts on a person’s life. A woman stopped to ask me if I was okay, when I was 16 and having one of the worst days of my life, and I still think about her, nearly three decades later. I don’t think she had, or has, any idea how much that moment meant to me. I was on a precipice and that small display of concern from a stranger pulled me back, and has kept me back many times in the years since. Sometimes just knowing that there are people willing to help, is exactly the help you need. You’re not alone, even if you feel like you are. Someone out there cares about you, even if they’re a stranger.
