Sweet stranger
Hello Lovelies...I hope life is treating you well,
So this is what has been on my mind;
About 2 weeks ago I was on a bus,bored with my headphones on listening to the song "Am i wrong" by Nico & Vinz ( Inshort I was in my own little world) then I remembered something from 17 years ago , I think I was 6 at the time ( Did I just openly say my age ,sh***t.lol). This song always makes me feel some typa way... 😌😌
So i remembered this day me and my brother Franklin were coming out of school, tired and broke cause we had used all our allowances. (Wait! i was the one who was broke, Frank was just mad that he has to my bus fair again, hahaha) At time we used to take public transport from school to home. Tough fun times..lol

I remember this sweet , young and very beautiful woman, walked towards us and asked us where we stayed! we told her ofcouse and she said "am going the same way, lets go together " (Dont mess with my memory lol, i even remember what she was wearing) she took my hand and off we went to the bus. She did not only pay for our bus fair but allowed me to sit on her lap from Posta-Sinza( its a long distance for those who dont live in Dar Es Salaam - Tanzania). So we got to sinza, safely! She helped us cross the road and said good-bye!
Until today i still wonder what pushed that beautiful young woman to help us,I wish i asked her name, and where she stayed but i didnt because i was too happy I got on some strangers lap and my brother on those hot sits (bansen bunner) infront of the passengers sits. Sometimes think she was an angel I swear.
What that woman did, was maybe something so small to her but to me she made a very big impact. I still wonder where she is and if she is still alive. I pray she is though...
The moral of this story is, When you get a chance to help somebody please help, dont wait to be asked for help for you give help. Sometimes we come across people that its so obvious they are in pain or need help but we ignore them. Especially kids, help them cross that road, pay their bus fair, ask them how they're doing in school. Trust me these things might be small to you but they will mean so much to someone and that person will never forget and probably it will be like a trend since stupidier things are trending these days, why dont we make this sweet stranger thingy a trend ?!?! Lets all help each other. Life is so tough, show a person that you care, and maybe that person with show another person hence we all become sweet strangers to other sweet strangers. I try my best to be a sweet stranger sometimes lol (i be lying if i say all the time) I swear its the most beautiful feeling. Be that person who brightens somebody's day.
I hope this story will inspire you because as i was writing it i felt inspired myself. Share if possible...
Love
