I was having one of those meh Thursdays like nothing seriously wrong, just that kind of flat, boring ass vibe. I went to the store which is right next to my flat and while I was choosing some stuff for the lunch that I was about to cook, a girl came to the aisle where I was and picked something up right next to where I was standing. We randomly started talking and I ended up in a conversation with someone I didn’t know (wasn’t even planning to talk to anyone really), and we somehow got on the topic of weird comfort foods from when we were kids.
What started off casual turned into a surprisingly fun exchange like so nostalgic, kind of random, but oddly grounding. We went down this rabbit hole of old-school snacks and bizarre lunchbox combos, and it made me laugh way more than I expected. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but afterward, I noticed I just felt full of life.
It made me realize how often those tiny, unscheduled interactions sneak in and completely change the tone of your day. Just wanted to share this very nice (extremely rare for me) interaction that I had today.

Sometimes I wonder how many smiles are sparked by random interactions like that and it’s nice because even in mundane errands we can find moments of connection… it really puts things into perspective, ya know?
