I never believed a stranger could change your life until it happened to me. It was a Tuesday evening. I had just received the worst news of my life. Lost my job, my rent was overdue, and the one person I thought would stay had walked away. I was sitting at a bus stop with no destination in mind, just an overwhelming heaviness I couldn't explain. Then an old man sat beside me. He didn't know me. He didn't ask what was wrong. He simply looked ahead and said quietly, "Whatever it is, you have survived everything so far. Your record is good." He stood up and left before I could even respond. But those words. Those simple, unplanned words from a man who didn't even know my name, something shifted in my chest. I sat there and cried. Not from sadness but from something that felt like relief. I went home that night and made a decision to keep going. That old man will never know what he did. He probably forgot the moment he walked away. But I carry those words every single day. Never underestimate the power of a kind word to a stranger. You may never know whose life you are saving.
