More good news.

I would just like to tell everyone about a fantastic thing that happened to me today.

I was on the bus going into town today and I was rather pissed off about something. (won’t get into what here as I have already stated, negativity is not allowed) Evidently it was quite obvious how I was feeling to others observing me. A girl around about my age who was sitting across from me got up, sat beside me and asked me what was wrong. I had never seen or met this girl in my life yet I somehow got the feeling that she genuinely cared about a total stranger and wanted to help. So I opened up. For around 45 minutes I talked to her about my problems and she shared some of hers. This was all without even knowing each others names. (I still don’t by the way)

This incident ended up leaving me feeling far better, and it put me in a great mood for the entire day.

It got me thinking a lot about the users of this site. I mean, to me, when she approached me I thought it was phenomenal, for an entire stranger to genuinely care about another person whom she had never met before, and to have the guts to approach that person and try to make a difference. The more I thought about it, the more it reminded me of this site. I had never thought about it in this way before. The amount of users on this site that get so involved, that care so deeply about others. Other people whom they have never met. When I started looking at it in this way it fascinated me. There have been two users that I will not mention by name that have had a profound effect on me and have helped me a great deal. This happens to hundred of people every single day here.

I guess what I’m trying to say here is in part, a thank you, and in part a congratulations. Every single one of you have helped build a community based on people helping total strangers. A wonderful community that makes a significant difference to anybody who has seeked help with a particular issue. And you have all done it out of kindness, and genuine compassion for other people. You are all wonderful people that I feel honoured to have been a part of this fantastic community.
