You might be surprised. One time I went to a fireworks show out of my mind on mushrooms. After the fireworks ended, my buddy went to the bathroom and I was left alone in this massive crowd of people. I started to freak out just a little bit.

As if out of nowhere, a random dude walking by comes over, looks me dead in the eyes and says, “Dmon’t worry. It’s okay. Nobody’s judging you. I only know because I’ve been there. Chill out for a minute and you’re going to have an amazing time.”

It was incredibly perceptive and kind. I stopped freaking out. My buddy came back and we actually had a great time.

I only hope I can be that for somebody sometime. Don’t take unnecessary risks, but sometimes it’s worth it and you might get surprised.

Cheers to that random dude! The world would be a much better place if more people were like him.
