"He was plainly under that strange influence which sometimes prompts men to confide to the new-found friend what they will not tell to the old"
Thomas Hardy, 'The Mayor of Casterbridge'
Love the feeling when strangers meet, shed their inhibitions, and for a moment at least, they forge a bond so warm and deep it rivals sibling relationships lasting a lifetime.
Funnily enough, this has happened a lot more to me ever since I moved to Europe a few years ago. Some people say that its nice to talk about deep things because you know that you will likely never see them again, and some others say, "you just have one of those faces".
So I have stopped to think much about why people do it and appreciate it more.
What a beautifully narrated experience! This was such a heartwarming story. Moments like these are truly special and you are doing a great job cherishing them.
