🔗 Share this article Feeling So Sick Walking Was Impossible When a Man Essentially Lifted Me to a Restroom. During my my late teens, my regular journey to work meant taking an packed public transport. The vehicle was always jammed and was consistently without any seats once I boarded. During a certain commute, I started experiencing terribly ill as the bus swayed around every turn. I continuously reassured myself to persevere for a few more stops before the bus reached my destination, so I could then make a mad dash to the closest public toilet to throw up. As we neared the avenue close to the destination as I understood I would not be to hold on. In an instant, it felt as if a fog descended upon me. Everything just went hazy and muffled; like someone had turned off the audio. I said to myself, “I am about to pass out”. Thankfully, I was positioned near the front of the bus, allowing me to take a few steps to ask the driver and told the operator to pull over, telling him I needed to vomit. He promptly opened the bus doors and I stumbled out out onto the street. My intention was to avoid being sick in view of six lanes of traffic, so I gathered myself and endeavored to stumble to the park across the road, where I believed it would allow me to secretly conceal myself near some foliage to vomit. Yet I must have blacked out. I sensed my physical self, yet I was unable to walk or see clearly, so I started crawling towards the grassy area. “Everything alright, love?” At that moment, someone picked me up. I felt a strong arm supporting me and heard a man say, “Everything alright, love?” I told this mysterious stranger that I required to get to a bathroom. Thus, he practically carried me down into an adjacent building and guided me into the female bathroom. He asked me whether I required him to wait for me but I declined. Not long after, I had recovered sufficiently to sit down and from outside the door came him ask, “Do you need anything, love? Can I get you something?” I was incapable to get up right away but I was able to express my gratitude and shortly thereafter was able to move my legs. I made my way home and spent several days recovering from what turned out to be a severe stomach virus. I never saw his features – merely his legs and a large container for tools he held – but he saved me, when I was completely helpless. Frequently, society can make you guarded, hostile, and combative. His act was the type of kindness that melts away that emotional callousness. He was proof that people’s natural inclination is towards kindness, something I love about my fellow humans.
