After my last break up which was horrible and traumatic and heartbreaking I took to some depths of nerdiness in which I immersed myself in online gaming. There was a guy in the group of people I played with who had, as his username, the name of the girl my ex had basically left me for. Being the wound was so fresh anything that triggered memories of that relationship breakdown would drag me right back into the past and cause me to linger and get sad all over again. That name was in particular a painful reminder.
One day, in a moment of weakness and selfishness, I confessed to him that I hated his name, and I briefly mentioned why.
The next day I noticed he had a new name. He'd paid the fee to change it and later told me to regard it as though nothing had ever happened - he'd needed a new name anyway.
It was a relatively small thing in the scheme of things, but it's something I still remember because it was such an unexpected act of kindness.
A lot of people have been monumentally kind to me in times of need. This was one that I felt comfortable with sharing.
Share with me some moments of kindness you've experienced that you'll never forget.
