Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
After several failed attempts to find the series 15 mystery minifigures in various stores, I finally hit the jackpot at Toys ‘R Us. I found an A.F.O.L. (Adult Fan Of Lego) searching through what was apparently the only box in the store, and struck up a conversation. When he heard I was shopping for a specific minifig for my sister’s birthday, he asked which I was looking for, rifled around in his pile a bit, and handed it to me. Seeing as I’d been trying to get my hands on this lego for weeks, well, his generosity meant a lot to me. I would hope that I’d do the same thing in his position, but I can’t honestly say I’m sure I would.
I’m sharing this story with you because of what I took away from this chance encounter: Pay it forward. Think of the world as it is. Then think how the world would be if people were a little bit kinder, a little bit more conscious that we’re all people, that we all struggle.
And yes, these emotions (Strange and alien as they are) were caused by a stranger’s simple kindness and a lego. Play well, my friends.
