(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

A few years ago,

when I was going through the deepest point in my depression-

my living situation was abhorrent¹,

I had no car,

no license²

and barely³ enough money to get by.

All of this was because of the choices I made

but I couldn't seem to find my way out.

I was riding the bus home one day from work

when an older woman sat across from me

and struck⁴ up a conversation.

She asked me

if I took the bus often

and I replied with a yes.

She told me

how she had just lost her job

and that she wouldn't be needing her bus pass anymore

and offered it to me.

This woman had zero knowledge of my current⁵ situation

and on one of her worst days,

she still found a way to be kind to someone else.

It touched a part of me I had forgotten about

and it's an experience that will stay with me forever⁶.

I think about her sometimes

and hope she is doing well.
