I went to the river for a walk on Sunday evening to clear my mind after a bad weekend of events. Once I was done my walk, I decided to sit on a bench and enjoy the view. Inevitably, I started crying, almost uncontrollably, for a really long time until I was interrupted by a kind, gentleman. I asked this man to leave me alone and go away multiple times but he kindly refused and told me that I could talk to him. As much as I tried to turn him away, he persisted. When I didn't tell him what was wrong, he asked why I wouldn't talk to him and I said that I couldn't share details of my life with a stranger so he began to talk about his life until eventually he was able to figure out a general idea of why I was upset. After quite some time chatting, he had me laughing and I am so grateful that he took time out of his day to make me smile. Thank you, stranger! ;-)
