Throughout this life we will meet many people. Some, like our relatives, we have known our whole lives. And, for most of us we don’t get to choose who these people are. Then there are the people, who are our friends. These are the people we choose to surround ourselves with. And, then there are the random people we meet, who we may only know for a short while, but can still have an impact on our lives. I am a shy person by nature, so for me these last type of people are rare. I met one last week. I can’t stop thinking about this person. Why was this person put in my life? What can I learn from our short encounter? What is it about our short meeting that I can’t get out of my head? This person made me laugh, feel good about myself, have fun, and learn. This person shifted my world view just a little bit. I don’t know if I’ll ever see or talk to this person again. Our meeting was such that it might be a little strange if we were to ever meet again, but I hope we do.
