Opening Up To Strangers

Family is a great support system. They are always there when we need them the most. But sometimes we are alone and need advice because we are not in the right state of mind at that moment. Some strange person shows up, and we start to open up to them. It’s unusual, but it happens.

We know we shouldn’t discuss our personal life with someone randomly, but we decide to do it. And many times, such interactions turn into life-long friendships.

I have also read the novel Dear Emmie Blue, which somehow depicted the same theme. I guess sometimes giving yourself a chance to open up to others opens the doors to developing new relations with others. We gain new insight into life and better understand friendship and love.

Do you have any such experiences?
