Strangers’ Small Acts That Changed Lives Forever: Stories That Will Restore Your Faith in Humanity
On the flight though, he pulled out a snack and offered me some. This was his way of initiating conversation with me. He said he had overheard the call about my dad and repeatedly expressed a genuine desire for him to pull through. He also told me that I’d be okay no matter what happened. We hugged it out when we deplaned and he again expressed good wishes. If this stranger had not engaged with me, I would’ve spent the flight silently crying and being in my head. He made that two-hour flight bearable.
Maybe my rock bottom moment?
I was moved from Los Angeles to New Jersey in the middle of winter to get thrown into rehab.
My family lied to me to get me to move. Said I’d have the place to myself, they had a condo right on the beach that I was going to stay at rent-free to get “mentally healthy again”
Oh no.
So just throwing it out there now,
Rehab is something the a****t needs to choose for themselves.
Anyway, it’s my 2nd day there, I’m losing my s**t because not only am I going through withdrawals but I’m there against my will in someplace I’ve never been, so I escaped.
I packed my bags. Walked right out the door, not even knowing where I was in the state… and started walking.
I was hoping to figure out which way the beach was, but I was in the middle of the snowy woods with no sense of direction.
I realized that if it took an hour to drive here from the condo, it’ll prob take a lot longer to walk, so I decided to play my luck further and stuck my thumb out to hitchhike a ride.
