Title: I want to do more acts of kindness
Post by: sweetiepi on September 19, 2017, 10:44:12 am
I love doing random acts of kindness. They always put me in a really good mood, even if it was a really small act of kindness.

However I feel like I don't do enough of it, so to keep myself going, I'll ocassionally post something kind I've done ^_^

Today- getting off the train at Royal Park/Melbourne Zoo, I helped a nanny get a super heavy pram off the train and wished her and a little kid a good day at the zoo. The smiles on their faces just made my day ;D

Oh. My. Gosh. This thread has made my day!  I'm a little (or a big) obsessed with random acts of kindness and their potential to change the world hahaha.  Maybe this thread will motivate me to get to the coding step of my related app!

Am so keen for updates.  This is the best. ;D

Today's act of kindness: hanging out with one of my uni pals after uni (one of their parents is in hospital atm), and having a really good chat over lunch/whilst buying stuff at Daiso. :)

Edit: damn, people really downvoting a harmless joke lmao smh.

So a little kid was a bit sad at the local athletics club as their dad was supervising shotput, so I gave a dollar to the kid to go buy a zooper dooper from the sausage sizzle stall. :) (the dad was pretty grateful haha)
Off-topic but zooper doopers were the shit when I was little

Today's act of kindness: buying lollies for others from Sovereign Hill, instead of me buying and hoarding them all for myself! ;D
This may have taken 3 trips to the lolly shop and watching the raspberry drops been made before I was satisfied that I had enough to go around lol

Today I was at the local shopping centre, and an old lady with a walker dropped her tomatoes on the ground whilst at the checkout of the fruit and veg shop. I picked them up from her (I was outside the shop) and then proceeded to help her load her shopping onto her walker's seat, then helped her out of the shop. :)

Today:
I caught a train with a young kid and his dad. They weren't sure about how the train system works, so I helped out and explained it all to them. I continued to have a really nice chat with them, until I had to get off at North Melbourne. The dad said that he was touched by my kindness and that I'm a lovely young lady.
I'm super happy I made some other people's days. ;D

A small act of kindness today: giving a stressed friend my coffee voucher for the cafeteria/cafe on campus. (She basically had to do an entire 30% group project herself). :)

So I have one of my uni friends who was looking for a syringe shaped mechanical pencil from Daiso (I have one I got from my local Daiso). They've been looking for ages, so yesterday I went to my local daiso and got one for them (and one each for the rest of our friendship group), and surprised him and the group today. The reactions on their faces was enough to make a very sleep deprived me smile. ;D

I may/may not be crying happy tears atm but coming home from my mum's bday lunch we (my mum and I) bumped into a homeless lady that we occasionally talked too. She saw us walking by, and she came up to us really excitedly- she found a unit to live in (out in Moe- about 2.5-3 hours away from where we live). She was really happy about it and she was talking about how happy she is to have been getting her life back on track, and she was boasting that she was going to save for a new bed. She kept thanking us for being there for her! ;D
It just makes me think about how even the simple necessities in life we sometimes take for granted, but a simple act of kindness goes a long way. :)

This spans over a few days, but is nice:
My youngest sister loves book just as much as I do. So late last week, I signed her up for her own library card- mum told me that I didn't have too, but I insisted anyways as I saw the joy on her little face when we walked in there so I could borrow a few books (I mean a lot, my to-read pile on my desk has had to be split into two piles after today's collection of held books haha :P ). She was super happy to have borrowed a book on her own card, and the very next day she showed off her card to her kinder teachers.

Anyways last night, I noticed that she left her book on her little bookshelf as I was putting her to bed. I pointed out the book and asked her if she wanted me to read to her before she falls asleep (which she usually doesn't get because I'm generally pretty busy haha), which I was met with a super enthusiastic nod. I read it to her and made the characters come to life as much as I possibly could, which she really enjoyed and told me in her own special way "you're the best Louise to read with".

Then this morning, when I woke up, she gave me an apple "in case you're hungry, because you're kind". This kinda touched me, so I decided to take her down to the library again as a surprise trip, just to see her little face light up whilst trying to find a book she'd like to read.

Even though I was being kind, I learnt a lot from my littlest sister- especially thoughtfulness (i.e. the apple), and that happiness can come from even the simplest of things (i.e. being read to/enjoying seeing that little smile)

(Also I am v tired rn, so this post is possibly fraught with mistakes that I'll fix up tomorrow! :) )

It's been a while since I last posted here!
This morning, I was running a bit early so I decided to walk around Southbank for a bit. Coming back up to Swanston St via the stairs, I saw an old man struggling to bring one of those trolley jeeps down the stairs. I noticed a lot of people pass by without even offering to help, so I asked him if he wanted some help. He was pretty stoked that I even offered, and he preceded to tell me about how hard it is to do anything with a metal pin (or something similar- can't remember what exactly) in his leg. The smile he gave really made my day. :)

A little boy from another athletics centre  (there's 5 competing here atm) was feeling scared to compete for their 300 metre race. I was being nice and cheering them on/being motivational. Anyways, when the kid comes back, he's going to get a lollipop from me- he deserves it, and I hope it makes his day ;D

Update: he's really thankful, and he's mum thought it was sweet. :)

A tourist was on my train this afternoon, heading towards the city. They weren't sure as to how to get there, so I offered to show them where they wanted to go (the Greek festival in Lonsdale St) before I go to meet my friends for burgers (100% recommend Huxtaburger if you're looking for a decent burger joint that isn't maccas :) ). They thought I was very kind and they bought me a massive bottle of lemonade as a thank you, even after I said it wasn't necessary.
Made them smile, and made my trip into the city 100% better ^_^

Found a wallet randomly in the mall that someone had obviously lost, looked at their licence and searched them up on Instagram, DMed them and I drove it up to their house later that evening. The girl was very grateful and gave me a box of ferrero rochers hahaha

I know that feeling. I always get a chance for random acts of kindness. Lots of people come up to me and ask for directions I don't knew why maybe I've just got a friendly face but more than the average amount that's for sure.

And while I bring up my phone and can show them the right place most of the time sometimes I get the buildings wrong either because they didn't explain it well or I mucj up the building sub codes.

Feels bad when I realise my mistake I've considered just saying 'sorry I don't know' which would be better than unintentionally pointing them the wrong way.

Either way it's soemehing that's get me at night and a mini dilemma for sure.

How am I only just finding this thread now? I've just read the whole thing and it makes me so happy, but also makes me realise how many oppotunities to be kind to others pass me by.

The library story also reminds me of yesterday when I was tutoring a little girl and her year 12 sister for the first time. When it was the Yr 12 girls turn the little one came in with a glass of iced water saying "it's for you because everytime I looked at you you looked hot" aww so cute!

You guys are all so cute! I love this thread.  ;D
So, I work in a fish 'n' chip shop and it has its moments for ARKs (acts of random kindness). A few weeks ago, there was a mother with an adorable little girl, and the mum ordered, but she didn't have money for a drink the girl really wanted. So, when we had finished cooking their food, I asked my bosses if I could give the girl the drink and they said yes, so I went up to the mother and gave her the drink. Her face just lit up and she wouldn't stop saying thank you, and the girl was really happy. It was so cute. Don't you just love that warm, fuzzy feeling when you do something for someone? ;D

So I'm at Flinders Street, on my way home and the train service before me changed platforms, and there was a carriage full of people that were sitting in the now not-running train, so I ran into the carriage and told everyone there to get off as x train is now running of platforms x and y. This office lady thanked me after I told her, she thought I was very kind and her smile made my day. :)

I was the only one who offered to help the pram up, and the lady was pretty surprised that I offered :))

I honestly have started doing small deeds of kindness, and once you start, it's hard to turn back.
I started thanking the bus driver when I'm at my destination a few weeks ago, and have continued doing so.
It may be insignificant for many, but it's a start :)

Been a while since I last posted here!

So I had the morning off uni and mum invited me to come with her to her fave cafe. We bumped into one of our family friends, who was in need and I felt compelled to do something.

So I did. I gave her $50. She cried because she thought it was really thoughtful.
I'm on the bus back to the nearest train station to get to uni now and I want to cry happy tears because I've done something really nice for someone who's been in my life since I was 4!

Here's a story for you this Halloween that's not really spooky. 

Story Time with Angel Wings
So I was going to go shopping today at a mall. I decided to catch PT today, so I was waiting at a bus stop. Minutes before the bus was due to come, this middle aged lady who's hurriedly limping towards me sees me and shouts: "Is this where the stop for the [insert number] bus to [insert place] is?" She pants a little, as I tell her, "No, it's down the street about a kilometre or so away."

She mentions exactly what I'm thinking, "Ah, I can't walk that far. Unless you think I can get there by this time?" She shows me a time written on a notepad. The time is in about 10 minutes. It takes me 10 minutes to walk down, but with her limp, it'll take her a lot longer. I tell her, "No, but I think you could probably take this bus across the street. Let me check." A little selfishly here, I didn't want to move as I knew my bus was meant to come in 30 seconds by this point.

As soon as I pull out my phone to check, that bus passes us. The lady tells me she has to be at a certain place in less than 1.5 hours. The next bus on the same route as the bus that just passed us is in approximately 40 minutes and it doesn't arrive anywhere near where she wants to go. I decide to check the next best route, as my bus arrives. Unfortunately, with her leg, it'll still get her about 5-10 minutes late for her important event. I apologise for this, saying it's the best route and I'd rather not lead her astray. She understands.

We both get on and I tell her the instructions to her destination from the mall (my destination). She writes down the instructions in her notepad and I repeat them several times to ensure she has the instructions down right.

An elderly passenger gets on the bus and sits opposite us. The lady I'm helping starts a bit of a conversation with me - just small talk, as we approach my destination. I tell the middle-aged lady I'll help her get to the right stop, as there's numerous bus stops where we were going and it's pretty confusing to newcomers. Everyone got off the bus and the elderly lady grabs my wrist. For a second, I stand there in shock. I don't know what this elderly lady's trying to do, but she starting rubbing my wrist almost as if trying to comfort me and says thanks on behalf of the middle-aged lady for my act of kindness. I breathe a sigh of relief and try to awkwardly stay humble, as anyone does after receiving a compliment. The elderly lady lets go of my wrist and goes on her merry way.

I immediately send that middle-aged lady to the right stop; the bus she needs to take is in a couple of minutes. I tell the bus driver to take the lady to the stop described in the instructions I gave her and for the bus driver to tell her to get off there. The lady thanks me thoroughly and I leave to go about my shopping. I really hope the middle-aged lady got to her important event only 5 minutes late.

So I got to help someone in need and got to share the story with you all again. (The last one happened late last year when I helped a guy who clearly wasn't dealing with the summer heat well and begged for a can of soft drink.)

Bumping bc relevant:
There's this kid who made a rant on Monash Stalkerspace last week about being lonely at the Parkville campus. Myself and a few others reached out and invited him to a few events that were on the hap and we all went to make sure he was going to be okay in the days that followed.

Fast forward to today, I saw him studying on his own in the packed caf, so I shouted him a coffee, in true Parkville spirit. He appreciated it and was really nice to do something nice for someone who was in need of a hello. ^-^

Okay so this just happened in the past 30 mins and is super sweet!

I went to kill some time before going to bookclub by catching the city circle tram. We got to about Flagstaff station when an older couple (tourists) came on and started to look a little lost just before Melbourne Central- turns out that they were looking for Lygon St.

I told them that they have to switch trams at MC (to a route 1 from Swanston St) and get off at Lygon St- stop 112.

We all got off and I did a quick time check- I had enough time to kill to get to Lygon St (and Lygon St Readings) and offered to get them there. They really appreciated it, and it made me smile to know that!

So I said goodbye and then went to Readings, and they saw me again and gave me $20 (which I tried declining but they insisted anyways).

Brb crying in State from people being so nice to each other 😊

A cheeky bump but a few things I've done recently:
- Took some time out last weekend and made a buttload of scrunchies to send to friends
- Wished the busy post-doc stressed with Covid19 vaccine work to have a good weekend

Crafted some special winter items on Animal Crossing to give to players in the Northern Hemisphere - it's good to know you can make a stranger's day, even in isolation and from across the world. ^-^

Earlier in the week I went through a couple of people from the bookstagram community's Amazon wish-lists and sent them a book for them each and they all finally arrived!🥰

I did this again with my closest booksta friends, 3 of which were under SA restrictions at the time.

I kinda made one cry happy tears :')

I also nabbed some bubble tea for an undergrad friend on Friday, which obviously made their day because bubble tea 😊

Going to surprise my local cafe staff with some fabric goodies! 🥺

Had to ask the staff member I really enjoy chatting to for numbers, but noone else there knows and I'm excited to surprise them! 🥰
