So touched
An incredibly sweet woman wrote a ficlet for me all because I made her something pretty for one of her stories that I liked.
Its odd, this niceness coming from a perfect stranger when so many non-strangers in my life could not be bothered.
And I'm touched deeply.
She writes and I love what she writes and I was moved to show my appreciation in some small way... hence the banner I made for her. I just wanted to show my appreciation, ya know? And in turn, she was flabbergasted that I did what I did and in turn, wrote me something special.
Just for me!
And now I'm sitting here, with tears no less, because someone out there did something thoughtful for me.
On one hand its so sad that something so simple could touch me so much because it just goes to show you how little that happens in my life with friends and family, let alone someone that doesn't even know me a fraction as well.
On the other hand, its spectacular that people still have that kind of kindness inside them to do something for a total stranger and it makes me all mushy inside and wishes that everyone would commit random acts of kindness all the time, because look at what I did and how it snowballed. Lila made me smile so I wanted to make her smile and then she turned around and made me smile again and now I'm gushing about like a lovelorn teenager and hopefully what I posted to her journal will make her smile as well.
It snowballs. All you have to do is commit a random act of kindness and they in turn do the same. Pay it forward and it comes back to you tenfold.
Or maybe I'm all gushy-girl because I'm hormonal?
Nah. Hormones aside, I'm still incredibly touched to tears. :)
