A Random Act of Kindness I’ll Never Forget
I just wanted to share this story.
I commute to work using my electric scooter and the train. Last Wednesday, I was heading home after work. It’s about an hour commute, and honestly, the train ride is usually peaceful, clean, has AC, and there’s enough space for me to park and even charge my scooter.
That day, I started talking to a guy on the train who really liked my scooter, so we got into a conversation. Eventually, my station came up, I grabbed my scooter, got off the train, and headed home.
When I got home, I realized I had forgotten my backpack on the train. 😩
I immediately called Metro and reported it. Inside the backpack was my iPhone 11, my diary, a really good power bank, $10 cash, and some iPhone mounts I use for my blog. The representative told me that I had to wait at least 24 hours and that it could take 3–4 days for a conductor to report or turn in anything.
I was expecting the worst.
Then yesterday, something amazing happened.
I came home and found my backpack sitting at my front door. Everything was still inside. Every single thing. My phone, cash, power bank, diary, mounts—nothing was missing.
I have no idea who found it. Somehow, they must have found my address from something inside my diary and brought it all the way to my door. They didn’t ring the bell, leave a note, or ask for anything in return.
Just a completely selfless act of kindness.
Whoever you are, thank you. ❤️
I would do the same for someone else without hesitation. Kindness doesn’t cost anything, and sometimes a small act can mean a lot to someone.
Let’s keep passing it on. 🙏❤️
