A Moment of Kindness

Today, something truly touching happened while I was working on my article at Merry Brown. I’ve been coming here regularly because it’s quiet, peaceful, and gives me the perfect environment to focus on my writing.

As I was deep in thought, a staff

member walked over and handed me a cup of white coffee. With a warm smile, she said, “I see you come here to study every day. This is for you.” I was honestly so moved — it caught me completely off guard.

She started chatting with me, and while part of me was silently saying, “Please don’t talk to me, I come here for the peace,” I couldn’t help but appreciate her genuine kindness.

Before she left, she handed me a box of fried chicken — two pieces inside — and told me to bring it home for my children. I politely declined at first, but she insisted. I was overwhelmed with gratitude.

Thank you, truly, from the bottom of my heart.

If, after three years, I successfully complete my PhD, I promise — I’ll come back here and treat you. ❤️
