“He asked if he could pay for me. I thanked him and respectfully declined.
“But he insisted and offered to give me the money instead if that would make me more comfortable. So he took out some cash and tried to discreetly hand it to me, but I declined.
“After a lot of persuasions I finally caved and agreed to let him pay”
“In our little interaction all he talked about was my work and activism and encouraged me not to give up; especially with all the backlash, because many like him, appreciate me.
“He helped wheel my cart to the car after and I asked if he wanted a picture, but he declined, smiled, encouraged me again and left.”
“I don’t know his name, who he is or if I’ll ever meet him again, but I’m just grateful for the kind words he shared.”
“I’m conditioned due to my bad experiences to always have my guard up when it comes to meeting people. But in this moment I’m choosing to focus on the positive until proven otherwise.”
