I want to tell you about a timeline when a special, dispensial person gave me something that I really wanted for a long time. If my memory serves me right, it was in the afternoon when there was no special occasion happening. I was riding my motorcycle around my hometown. Some random guy just stopped me and gave me a bouquet. I was like, I’m not going to lie. I’m a type person who really loves presents. I love everything called presents if they really meant it. I don’t care about the value, I just care about the gift they gave me. They care about me. I was pretty surprised because it’s a rose bouquet and it’s pretty expensive because roses are expensive these days. He’s a stranger. I want to talk about him. He’s a stranger but he just made my day at the time. I feel really happy and cheerful. I feel like I’m still important somehow. It really just light up my day a week later. It’s a simple action but has a big meaning to me.

I want to tell you about a time when a special, inspirational person gave me something that I really wanted for a long time. If my memory serves me right, it was in the afternoon when there was no special occasion happening. I was riding my motorcycle around my hometown. Some random guy just stopped me and gave me a bouquet. I was like, I'm not going to lie. I'm the type of person who really loves presents. I love everything called presents if they really mean it. I don't care about the value; I just care about the gift they gave me. They care about me. I was pretty surprised because it was a rose bouquet, and it's pretty expensive because roses are expensive these days. He's a stranger. I want to talk about him. He's a stranger, but he just made my day at the time. I felt really happy and cheerful. I felt like I was still important somehow. It really just lit up my day. A week later, it's a simple action but has a big meaning to me.
