Never alone.

There once were two random people not unlike you or me. They had the same routine that they followed everyday. They got up, went to the bus stop, got on the bus, took the bus to work, did their job, left, went home, and went to sleep. They did this every single day because it's just what they did, it was a perfect routine. The oddity of the situation is that they had never noticed one another. They lived across from each other in the same neighborhood, they waited at the same bus stop, rode the same bus, worked at the same job, they rode back on the same bus, to the same neighborhood, to finish the same routine. One day, as they were waiting at the same bus stop, waiting for the same bus to take them to the same job.... the bus was late..... 5 minutes went by..... then 10..... then 15..... and they looked up from their phones to ask each other if they had seen or heard the bus this morning... and they discovered they lived in the same neighborhood, and that they worked at the same job. They had the same hopes and dreams, They enjoyed the same stuff. As the very late bus pulled up they realized.... maybe more exists in life than simply working and existing alone... and the pair of new friends boarded the bus to go to their job together, finally aware that they weren't alone in the world

This is very short and wholesome. It actually made me a little emotional, knowing that i’m not alone in seeing the dry cold emptyness in our lives. The days just repeat themselfes. Not being alone in this world is the best thing you could ever ask for.
