Last year, when I took the bus to work everyday
Usually I would be at the bus stop by myself
But one day there was an older women (70+)

I began asking her questions about what she was doing, how her day was going,
Simple small talk.
The difference is I was genuinely interested in her answers
People can feel that.
She then began telling me her life story

Found out so much about her in about 10 minutes
We grew up around the same area, went to the same high school, and even had relatives from the same areas.
She finished the conversation by telling me

She finished the conversation by telling me
“I wish there were more young people like you, nowadays everyone is attached to their phones and can’t hold conversations”
Everytime I saw her at the bus the following weeks/months
She’d give me a big smile and we’d talk for 5-10 min

It seemed like I genuinely made her day better everytime we talked
I saw a boost in my mood following our conversations as well

Everyone has a story
You can learn from everybody
You have to power to make someone else’s day
Just by being genuinely interested in what they have to say
“Dont talk to strangers” should only apply to really young children
Once you get older, you need to do the opposite
