iām thinking of all those videos on tiktok where someone asks a restaurant owner for food ābut i have no moneyā and then BAM āactually i do have money and here is $1000ā in suchhhh a good person. i just saw a girl in manhattan with a āfree helpā poster sign and my first thought was āoh god where is the cameraā and lo and behold there was a full camera crew hiding behind her. do good things for people ! buy that drink on your tab and donāt tell anyone about it. just be nice in silence !

this is such a good practice, so long as itās done, in my opinion, for altruismās sake, rather than self gratification.

šAt my local shop , there is this one shopkeeper who works alot during the weekdays . We compliment and smile at eachother every so often whilst he scans my chocolate and energy drinks. I once went into the shop with a 50 euro note. i only bought food worth maybe 8euros , so i had alot of change. walking home that day i lost the money , it must have fell out of my pockets whilst i took my phone or keys out . I only realised when i got home and was running around my local area following my route trying to see if i could find the money . I went to the shop , queued up again and asked him if anyone handed in any money, he said no and offered to help me search , he pulled this massive unit out from under the cashier to see if the money had fallen below . It wasnt there :( . He walked me home to see if we could find it on the street. Anyways we didnt find it , i was so embarrassed but he now has this recurring bit where he gives me my change in a plastic baggy and makes me zip it into my trouser or coat pocket . I do not even know this mans name and i highly doubt he knows mine . Spread kindness with those in your locality , there is nothing better than catching up with your deli woman or favourite shopkeeper .
I love knowing that those who know fairly much nothing about you can care for you , and that you care for them .
Peace and love to all

š«¶I love to be surprised by a stranger offering kindness out of the blue.
Just now I was jogging to the train, as I do because I always leave things last minute - so I was on time to make it. But a guy in a car just stopped by me and asked if I was going to miss my train and offered a quick lift to the station
I declined because I was still on time (nothing against him) but I love how that random guy just decided to stop for a moment to offer kindness, such a nice little interaction to enter the weekend with :)
thereās still lots of love in the world, despite the richest trying to force barriers between strangers
Also reminds me of the times working in the supermarket where I saw strangers offer to buy things for others if the other person was just short, people they might never see again but decided to give money to.

listen, walks rock. and i donāt care if you are on your smart phone or your little walkman doing your hot girl walk. i think itās sometimes beautiful and really relaxing to do half of my walks with no music and my phone put away. i tend to notice people more.. their weird annoying mannerisms.. i find more buildings and flowers beautiful and iām reminded for better or worse iām not the only one on this earth !

!!! i am so sick of spotify rn. i donāt know if iāll ever leave spotify - but i feel like, itās almost impossible for me to discover new music. i could create a classical flute playlist and spotify is like ālets add charli xcx nextā - NTS radio has two djs spinning at all times. almost always itās a hit very seldom is it a miss. sometimes iām like yeahhh i donāt know if german hardcore rock at 9pm on a tuesday is a move. but itās where ive found a lot of my recent music. i love this movement of getting away from AI suggestions and allowing humans to choose for me what to listen to

ši cold call all day. hearing weird / interesting voicemail greetings instead of the robot is so refreshing - someone sang their voicemail intro . one guy was like āpress 6 then press 5 and then turn around and touch your noseā one girl did a dominitrix voice and was like ādonāt even THINK about leaving me a voicemailā¦ simply text meā¦ā so wonderful when ppl get creative w the mundane things in life
