Yesterday I was out walking down town with my headphones on like I always do. Unwritten Law made me sing out loud; with no shame. I picked up a parcel containing a few books and then started to walk back home again. The suddenly an old lady in a wheelchair approached me asking for my name.
I was really surprised. One: because she was a total stranger. Two: She spoke to me in english (which is not my first language). We started chatting and she asked me about my life. Where I study, what music I like and where I live. She was a nice little lady and I have never had a conversation quite like it before.
She asked me about my future; what I wanted to be. I told her that I wanted to move to England and study languages. She was amazed by my answer. She didn't say anything for a while, just looked at me like I was the bravest person in the world. And for once in my life I felt proud of myself. I felt like she had brought it out, this sweet little stranger.
She followed me almost all the way home before we parted. I waved and shouted goodbye until I could no longer see her behind the apartment buildings. My heart fluttered in my chest because of one little lady that I happened to cross paths with a Friday afternoon. It's almost like I met some kind of guardian of mine. And I will not forget her in a long time.

I don't do that for quite a time. But then, sometimes talking with strangers feels like talking with someone very close. Quite odd, isn't it?
That's incredible. I agree with Murazrai, strangers can sometimes feel like the closest people in the world.
I remember talking for my one hour journey on a train to a woman, I don't remember her name. We chatted about all sorts of things and gave me some advice I'll never forget.

@Murazrai - It's very odd. I felt like I knew this woman, but I've never seen her before in my life. Very strange but somehow beautiful. :)
@brokenenemy - It's wonderful. I smile whenever I think about it. :)
@NoHeroJustNerd - Meeting such a people is quite amazing, isn't it? I hoped that I'll meet one again.
@Murazrai - I really, really hope so too. It brightens the day a bit.
