If you’re continuing on from yesterday… welcome back to the blog! If you’re new, then read my first blog from yesterday to see what this is all about.
Today I just wanted to spread a little bit of happiness. It’s Friday after all (as I’m publishing this it is, anyway), so it makes sense to put up something that will give you a good feeling for the weekend.
So, this video... I think this video sticks with me because I know that a little bit of kindness can go a long way, and that kindness doesn’t have to come from the obvious places, like your family or your closest friends. In some ways, having a complete stranger reach out to you can mean even more, because they’re the ones that have no obligation to you. They don’t have to ask how you are, or even look at you, but they do it anyway. Yeah, maybe they are just bored… but maybe, just maybe, they do actually hope that everyone else is having a good day.
What I’m trying to say is that no matter how bad your day is, or how rough things might be going, sometimes it means a lot for somebody, anybody, to be there for you; even if they have no idea what you’re going through or even who you are, just having someone in the background (or, in this case, the middle of the street) saying “Hey, I’m here if you need me” can be enough to cheer you up.
You can ignore them if you want – hundreds of people must’ve walked past these guys without a second thought – but I bet that at least 90% of them looked back on it at some point later that day and it made them feel that much happier, and made their day just that tiny bit brighter.
So anyway, today I just wanted to show you something that would do just that. Hey, who knows – it might make you want to spread the happiness around a few random strangers too.
