Dear Stranger

Dear Stranger,

I miss you and the people that used to be apart of my life every day. We were never close friends, but we worked together, and got through our days together.

Sometimes I miss the people that played a small role throughout my day more than those that I've considered close friends. Sometimes those are the people you think about every now and then and hope that they are doing alright. It makes you a little sad that they aren't apart of your normal routine anymore, because at one point in time, every time they walked through the door, your day got a little bit better.

One thing I love about how I live my life, constantly bouncing around, is there are so many amazing people I get to meet. I also get to meet some really interesting ones, and sometimes some not so great ones. They all remind me of something, though. That one time they brought me flowers for my birthday when some of my friends didn't even bother to text me. They made my day a little brighter. Or when they ran out of the building yelling about how they forgot they left a turkey in the oven at home. I've found that those weird experiences are always better than the same old boring routine.

I hope all of the people that contributed to my well-being at any point throughout my life are doing well. I hope that maybe some day the universe will bring us back together, even if it's just for a second in passing.

There is so much hate in this world, it's easy to be jaded over the littlest things. I'm still working on this myself, but I hope I meet more people like you guys. It's always sad to move on to new places, but I'm grateful to have met you.
