Went on a random date today to look at ducks and geese in a pond

I’ve not been doing well recently: had a break-up, been feeling financially stressed, went to a show last night that completely threw out all the writing I did for it (the show was very bad), I’m just kinda feeling down all around.

But today a handsome man I met in my neighborhood took me on a date to just sit on a bench and look at the ducks and geese in a nearby pond.

It was so calm and lovely. We made up names for the fowl, listened to a nearby woodpecker, and just..kinda cuddled?

He’s originally from Dubai by way of Jordan, and I’m a white girl from Brantford living in Toronto. We had nothing in common except for thinking the other was cute enough to go watch ducks and geese together. He has beautiful eyes, a kind disposition, and he made my day.

Life is very hard for so many of us, for so many reasons. I absolutely did not want to be seen, but this sweet man was like “hey, I bet you wanna see some ducks and geese today”, and I very much did.

I hope you get to see some ducks and geese today. They’re pretty cool.
