Kindness leaves traces

Austin, TX (2017)

I had lunch with an old friend today. We met during a scholarship camp back in 2013 and here we are today in 2018 eating lunch together. This had been out first met since we parted ways after the camp. But amazing thing human being, we can connect with people who we were most connected years back, again. Like nothing had changed and the connection remains.

Since we're both in the workforce now, we talked about how it has been for both of us and what's been happening around us lately. I think the reason why I am still able to let myself out in front of her was because I remembered, when I was in trouble during the camp, she was there helping me. She comforted me and she was kind to me. She might not remember it, but I do.

We were needed to do a physical test at the camp, bleep test it was. I wasn't fit, and I was well acknowledged on that fact. But I pushed myself to Level 3, I swear I thought I was going to die. After the run, I went outside, gasping for air. Momentarily, she came outside to check on me. Y'all had no idea how her presence comforted me. I felt that somebody was looking after me yknow, and it felt really good.

Hence, my thought for today is: kindness leave traces in people's lives. 

 So be kind. Leave good traces in people.

(Update on my life: Week 2 of being an Associate, been binge watching The Big Bang Theory and that's about it. Jk, a few other things are going on in my life but i'd save them for some other time)

Till then, may peace be with you.
