True Stories That Restore Your Faith in Humanity

I got pregnant at 15, so I learned early what judgment feels like. The stares, the whispers, the people who thought my life was already over before it had even begun. I got used to it—sort of. You build up a wall just to keep going. One afternoon, while standing in line at a corner store with a few groceries and a tired baby on my hip, an elderly woman behind me gently tapped my shoulder. She smiled, handed me a folded $20 bill, and said softly, “Here,

honey. Diapers get expensive.” I was stunned. I barely got out a thank-you before she turned and walked away. Later that evening, when I unfolded the bill, I noticed a small slip of paper tucked inside. In delicate handwriting, it read: “You’re stronger than you think.” I kept that note tucked in my wallet for years. Every time I doubted myself, I’d read it again and feel like maybe—just maybe—I really could do this. Then, years later,I was cleaning out old things and noticed something faint on the back of the note—my name. In the same handwriting. I had never met that woman before… at least, I didn’t think I had. One day, while visiting my mom, I mentioned it. Told her about the $20, the note, the name. She went quiet. Then smiled. “That was Mrs. Langston,” she said. “She used to live down the street when you were little. She was going through a hard time once,

and I helped her when no one else would. Looks like she remembered—and passed it on.” I still carry that note. Not just as a reminder of my strength, but of how kindness ripples. What you give comes back in ways you’d never expect.

Almost every time I get on a plane, my knees are already touching the back of the seat in front of me. Recently, this one guy in front of me decided to recline his seat, and it practically slammed into me. The seat was obviously broken and reclined a full 6 inches more than the other seats, so I called the flight attendant. She saw the problem too, and asked him to put the seat back up. HE SAID NO, AND SHE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING MORE SHE COULD DO!
