I always visit the same flower shop. One day, the cashier smiled and said, “You’re in here buying flowers every week. Your wife is so lucky.” The truth is, I don’t have a wife or girlfriend.
I laughed and replied, “Actually, the flowers are for my daughter. She’s the only woman in my life.” I know it might seem a bit unusual but my daughter really loves flowers; I just want to bring her some joy.
My boyfriend is Spanish and I secretly started learning his language to surprise him. Today he got a call from his mom and began chatting in Spanish without realizing I could understand him!

When my mother passed away, someone knocked on our door. One of her client’s sons handed me an envelope of cash.

Back in seventh grade, I’d follow many classmates on Instagram and often saw them feeling down or going through tough times.

I’d sneak out during class pretending to go to the restroom just to put those letters in their lockers.

A few years ago while celebrating my friend’s birthday at dinner he felt super awkward about others paying for him—so he asked us not too! But then I gave the waiter my card saying his meal was free because of his birthday! He believed me & now raves about how great that restaurant’s service is!

My long-term partner thinks he’s amazing at making coffee—a real coffee artist—but honestly? His coffee tastes terrible!
