Kindness of Strangers

The day I left my fiancee was a hard one. I needed some more boxes for my shit, I had been up all night crying, I had no interest in showering, wearing makeup or even clothes that weren't 5 sizes too big for me. I was a disgusting, pitful mess. I was miserable.
I went to the grocery store and got some more boxes and as I was loading them all into my car, I noticed this older dude walking towards me. Kind of looked like a slightly chubbier Kevin Bacon, actually. He just watched me as he walked in my direction kind of smiling.
He stopped about 10 feet in front of me and said "Hey, I just wanted to let you know that you are beautiful. Never let anyone ever tell ya different!" And he turned around and stared to walk away when he had an afterthought. "I'm not a weirdo or anything, I swear. I just wanted to see ya smile"
I just kind of stood there like an idiot. Speechless, watching this Kevin Bacon stranger walk away. I will never, ever forget it. At my very worst...no less. He gave me a little reason to smile when all I wanted to do was go to sleep and never wake up again.
He probably didn't even realize the impact of his statement.

The secret to being funny is to say smart things stupidly, or is it stupid things smartly? Whatever..it's not rocket surgery...or something like that.

zippoz "in times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings - artists, scientists, clowns, and philosophers - to create order. In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption" "People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."

i've gotten through many a hard time due to the kindness of complete strangers.
also had the greed/assholishness of strangers fuck me over.
but that's a different story, and has occured far fewer times than they've helped me out

He probably did, and that's why he did it, 'coz he meant it. Been there, done that. Just if someone would do it to me for a change

I love you Deepman. You're truly an inspiration, never let anyone tell you any different ok? Not even that one girl with the milky cateract eye and the gym sock titties.

yeah it's always grate to be right 
there's this one girl i met january this year... we had a short conversation and i nearly made her brake into tears, i knew exectly what she was feeling and why and i knew just what to say! i could tell she was shocked and befor i went on my way i asked if i could give her a hug.... we huged and i could feel her heart race...
i keep wondering what happend to her and hopfully i'll run into her sometime in the future (i thought about tracking her down many times but i didn't know what to say and i thought it was a little over the top to actualy track her down)
i hope i managed to help her though...

You're such a pimp man. Why do you have such low self esteem? You should have all the STD's by now... 
I was being serious with the first two statements.
