A Treasure Trove of Human Moments

article image placeholderUploaded by @SeekingPlumb
I was very grateful, even just for that small human interaction, because it was a really lovely moment. About an hour and a half later, my buzzer rings and I'm not expecting anyone, so I don't know who this is, but it turned out it was the same woman who had delivered my food, and she was standing there on the other side of the locked door with a slice of birthday cake she had gotten at the grocery store with a little sign on it that said Happy Birthday

Please help me collect moments of meaningful human connection.

3 nice moments, for you!

Hello, Christina Zak from Switzerland. I don't have such touching moments to tell about, but not it's not exactly as touching as that. Yes, I had a drink with two guys once and they just were so happy to meet up with me because we had been playing football many years before. So they invited me to a restaurant next door and it was quite expensive and they insisted for paying

@dzakyem Thank you!

And I think that your stories showed just that. Right. They were all moments of unexpected surprise. I suppose that's a repetitive thing there, but a bit of Disclaimer. I think that my post above, I think the rawness of my week. And then you add that to remembering this beautiful moment and it just was a lot and it overflowed out of my eyelids or my eyes. So perhaps there was an abundance of emotion that there was more behind, I think, than just that moment

@SeekingPlumb Vulnerability makes us human..., so they say...

I didn't try to be tough with them when I felt I wasn't good or wasn't leading the class in a strong way. It wasn't necessary, actually, but I felt ill at ease and let it be that way. That's it

Hearing you talk about your students makes you think of all those different images where you know, you whether it's the baby bird leaving the nest or the full learning to stand or, you know, you prepared them, you've taught them, and now they have to make those decisions and act on what they've learned. And that can be exhilarating and difficult. It's funny how society has all these weird ideas about emotion

I love this story. I could just imagine, though, if I had been in your shoes and someone came up to me that way. So thoughtful and caring, I probably would have started crying more. In fact, now that I say that in one of the instances with things that went down the sweet for me, that's exactly what happened. Someone was very thoughtful and checked in on me. Just a blubbering mess

You also made her day special

Even the universe made sure you said something about your birthday to give her the opportunity to do something great for you. Winwin. That's the beauty of life, how things work. So yeah, good for you. You did mention it. And it's such a beautiful story. Thank you. Because I'm about to go to bed and it's so nice to finish with a story like yours. So thank you, Christina. You're an amazing person. Bye

And I was an extra on a soap that we have here in the UK. There's this whole thing. We have access to the extras. The actors don't really mix with the extras much. They don't at all. Sometimes some of us ignore the extras like they're not there. And I was an extra on this TV show. And this plain as actress walked up to me and offered me half of her sandwich. You get two sandwiches in a packet

Here she is! https://youtu.be/IeojIw4J1gA

Awhanist. I can't say it. She's a sex offer. In this video, you'll see her playing life. So this is her. How cool. I found this video, man. But it would be really cool to see if I could find or something by calm

Becky, I can't. I can't change it. That. That's the automated. That's the automated text supposed to be. I was struggling to say the word tax openest. Oh, my God. I don't know. There's nothing I can do about that now
@SeekingPlumb

@UnityEagle Thank you. πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜Š

Thank you, Sylvia. Right back at you. And thank you for the reminder that sometimes it's good to bring these things up. I'm not so good at that. And I think I need to somehow find a balance of some sort to practice. Thank you for that reminder

I love these stories, too, because I think it highlights that it doesn't matter our age, it doesn't matter our background that we can have that impact on another person. And again, it doesn't matter what age they are, either or their background. And I loved that. It's the little things like each of these stories, it's the little things. It's the intention. There's so much more behind it than simply I don't know

@MarkR @DBPardes We should be able either to correct the txt or to delete it!...

That's what we could forward to the app developers shouldn't we just wanted to mention it as a funny thing? I had noticed, but you seem to be embarrassed. Don't worry, don't speak about sex offense anymore

Hello guys. Just to let you know, this will be a feature coming in. Matters of the Heart is definitely on a road map. A lot of transcription programs do things like this and it comes with the package, package. But we will be able to edit it in a few versions down the pipeline. Thanks for thanks for pointing it out
