That’s it.
Crack a random tiny joke then you’re chattin’ away.
I love all the characters I meet when I volunteer because we share a lot of the same values.
I feel like it grows my brain and proverbially fills my cup.
It’s nice to remember that the world is brimming with kind people. I by no means have lengthy conversations with them, but even a joke or an observation to the store attendant makes me feel like I am the sort of person who is casual about things. It’s fun and reminds me to get outside my (sometimes claustrophobic) bubble.
I was volunteering at a film festival and talking with another older guy that was also volunteering and found out he went to the same college and lived in the same dorm as me 40 years before. What are the odds. People that volunteer a ton love to talk and it usually ends up being about something interesting
If you’re within an hour walk from home, you should just walk home.
I understand taking public transit or an Uber there to be on time, but you’re not rushing to get home. Thus, walk.
