For the most part … I like strangers. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
It’s so nice to hear the “Happy Holidays Ma’am<\/i>” from the store greeter,<\/p>\n
Or the “Thank you dear<\/i>” from the older lady who I assist in her quest to find fried onions ,<\/p>\n
Or the following of the eyes from the guy walking past me with his significant other right next to him,<\/p>\n
Or the complete lack of attention from the hundreds of others that pass by me without noticing or taking a second glance.<\/p>\n
I take hits to my confidence every now and then …<\/p>\n
And I’ve felt that way recently.<\/p>\n
So as I walked the aisles of the grocery store last night, there was a sense of complete amazement, that there I was, just being me, blending in, with no one noticing me.<\/p>\n
The kindness of strangers is such a nice feeling …<\/p>\n
Even when the strangers have no clue they are being kind. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
