Riding to work one hot summer day in Prague on a tram with no AC—crowded, hot, and miserable. I was sweating rivers, but couldn’t even reach my handkerchief because the car was so packed.
I was just standing there, feeling miserable, when an older woman smiled at me and handed me a napkin from her purse. I thanked her profusely.

In high school, passing between classes, I was having a really dark, bad day. A girl walking past smiled at me. Every day after that, we’d pass each other and smile, then started saying hi—but that was it.
We never had time to really talk.
I saw her at a hockey game once. It was funny, actually talking for a few minutes and then telling my friends she was a friend from school—even though I didn’t know her name. © Living-Rip-4333 / Reddit
