Have you ever met a person accidentally who has completely changed your life and your look at life? I never believed in it, it seemed impossible until it happened to me.

Have you ever met a person accidentally who has completely changed your life and your look at life? I never believed in it, it seemed impossible until it happened to me.
When I was 18 myself and two friends moved to Virginia Beach. We lived in a tent since it was a last minute decision on a random weekday night. Packed out stuff that night and drove down all night from New Hampshire. We were parked in a spot on a die road across from the beach, laying on the car at night. A random guy walked up to us and started talking about how nice of a night it was. We ended up talking to him about our random move and how we had just gotten jobs at the tiny carnival on the boardwalk with the water slide. so now we were looking for aparetments. So he offered us a place to stay for the night at his hotel. So we could shower and sleep somewhere decent in doors.
He took us out to breakfast in the morning and offered to fix the coolant leak in the car we had gotten. Then he offered us to stay at his place in richmond until we got on our feet there instead and at least we would be in doors. We wanted to stay at the beach so we ended up saying no.
He was probably the single most kind person I had ever met at that point in my life. The decency of him was above and beyond what I would have ever thought to be possible from a stranger. It actually changed me for the better and becoming a better person.
We were strangers on a bus and never saw each other again after that night. But he changed my life. I was returning to Los Angeles by bus from Las Vegas, a 5-hour trip. I’d gone there to reunite and visit with friends from back East. I sat in the back of the bus, infront of a guy in his 20s who was mostly on his phone throughout.
My seat mate couldn’t hear me as I cried quietly, holding my phone to my chest as I read message after message from my ex. I went onto discord, and starting venting on a server. And then I got a delightful tap on my shoulder; A simple, “Hey, what’s up? You okay?” And that was the start of a beautiful friendship. The start of seeing how caring and beautiful someone’s heart and soul can truly be. I talked, I vented out to this person and he became the closest person to me ever. I shared things with him, I grew to love him and we were so happy. I never did expect anyone to come to me, I never expected to make a brand new friend. To confide in a complete stranger, I never expected to meet someone I could grow to love more than anyone else in this world. But I did. He changed me. He helped me grow. He helped me move on. And I will always be thankful for him. Thankful that he took the time to help and care about some random girl on bus.
And I will be forever thankful. And I appreciate the hell out of him.
