A small moment that stuck with me longer than I thought it would

I didn’t have a bad day but I didn’t have a great one either Just one of those days where you feel mentally drained for no clear reason
While I was out running errands a stranger noticed I looked a bit overwhelmed and casually said Hey you’re doing okay Be kind to yourself
That was it Nothing deep nothing dramatic They probably forgot about it right after
But I didn’t
It slowed me down for a second and honestly made the rest of my day feel lighter It reminded me how small unplanned moments like that can mean more than we expect
