âŚI almost killed myself
I put on my sunglasses, to hide my swollen eyes, over my tears. I cried all my makeup off. Went inside to have a milkshake. I donât know why. I wanted something to drink as I figured out what I would do. I got a soda and a milkshake. Medium. The cashier looked at me and with a line around the corner of the counter he rushed away from the counter âHold on â he yelled to a coworker.
I filled my soda and went back and saw him looking all over. I go up and he gets close and says âI made it a largeâ.
That was seriously enough for me not to do it. His kindness. Someone went out of their way and as I went back in my car to cry I realized I could muster through a few other days. A few more weeks. Then I came down from that panicky high of anxiety, depression, and pain. I finished my shake. And it was enough time to let me feel better. I⌠Iâm alive. Iâll make it through.
Try and be nice today. Tomorrow. Something as much as a smile. It helped so much.
Thank you man at McDonalds.
The milkshake saved my life
I hope you all can read this and remember to be kind
The smallest of gestures can save a life. My Mum answered her phone when I called and I am alive today because of that.
Iâm glad youâre here.
Itâs a phone call, a milkshake, a friend.
I feel like I shouldnât keep reblogging this but when I do more people see what kindness can doâŚ. I donât know. Love everyone as yourself.
Nah, keep rebloging it. It gives hope.
walked sobbing around a city once wearing a summer dress in mid-september thunder and rain. basically dragged myself into LUSH as the smell of the store always made me smile. the shop was empty and dead due to the weather, just this blonde short woman behind the counter who smiled at me. i stared at her feet and asked âdo you have anything for people who are scared a lot?â (i was so out of it i had no clue). she showed me two bath bombs, one pink and one blue, and said both were good - i chose the pink, paid for it and left. i then sat at a bus stop clutching the LUSH bag in one arm and my prescription meds in the other - iâd lied and ordered a refill so i could just drift away with sleeping pills. when the bus arrived and i was out of the rain, i decided to have another look at my bath bomb, smell it and what not. opened my bag and saw sheâd put the blue one in there for me as well and written on the receipt âfeel better soon :) hope you like xâ.Â
no one had ever been so selflessly kind to me before, i didnât know what to do with it except hang around long enough to use the other bath bomb.Â
Actually Iâm going to reblog this again because of the truth of the inverse: think of any time you have been casually cruel or petty to someone for humor or because you werenât in a great mood.Â
The power of small gestures goes both ways.
