由 Issy eFarming(enthusiastic, upbeat) Last week on the train — (short pause) I sat next to this old man. (long pause) (casual, relaxed) At first, I was just scrolling on my phone — (breath) but he asked me what I was reading. (pause) (warm) We ended up talking for the whole — (emphasize) forty-minute ride. (long pause) (emotional, gentle) He told me about his late wife — and how they met at a jazz concert in the seventies. (soft pause) (playful, light laugh) He said she used to sing along to records while cooking — always slightly off-key. (small laugh) (reflective, slower) It was one of the most unexpected — (pause) heartfelt conversations — (breath) I’ve had — (breath) in a long time. (long pause) (gentle) When I got off — (breath) he waved and said — (pause) (soft, tender) “Thanks for listening.” (short pause) (softer) “Most people just ignore me.” (long pause) (soft, sincere) That moment stuck with me. (pause) (encouraging, warm) You never know whose day you’ll make — just by being kind.
