Only on these Sunday nights when theres a full moon would such a thing happen…these tales lol

Meanwhile…Just laid out the outline for my animal skeleton, i took a break to go to Timmys for a coffee to charge up when standing in line i hear someone say, 'Hey wsup, yo dont i know you?' So i turn to see some dude with a hoodie on walk towards me…Vaguely familiar im like,'Sorry from where?' He was like,'I did time with you in E town, yea Johnny right? I heard you were doing time out here.' I paused thinking of all places why did this just happen so i replied,'No man actually im out here going to school. I got outta that cycle a couple years back…' He then proceeded to go on about how hes been up since yesterday morning raving, and hes all sketched out, couch surfing, cant trust nobody, he doesnt know what to do yadda yadda while im trying to order my coffee. I thought again why on my break would this happen…so i ordered my coffee. It was 2.30 i took out my wallet and got the exact change 2.30 and handed it to the clerk. He rang it in while buddy started trying to hustle me some blue coffee from jamaica he had, im not interested was the look on my face…just then the clerk spoke,'Heres your change…' I turned and reached for it counting .85, im like this is weird so i took it and slipped it into my pocket. Wondering why did i get change when i gave him exact change, no matter i went to pick up my coffee. I turned to buddy and said,'You know whatever situation youre in, theres resources out there to help. I suggest you stay off drugs and alcohol so you can get whatever you need to get done…fixed.' He started to go on some rant about how if this was E town that he wouldnt have these problems that hes solid and blah blah blah…Im like telling myself yo whatever ill listen to what he has to say for 5 min. then i gotta get back to my work, its the least i could do. I listened, i blanked out, i asked myself again why is this happening…5 min. passed and i interrupted him stating,'Sorry dude i wish you all the best in the future, i got finals this week so time is pretty tight for me. I gotta go.' And i walked off thinking to myself wow that was a complete waste of 15 minutes, thinking again why did that just happen…Then i realized im so grateful im not in his shoes, wrong to say but a few years back if i continued down the path i was i couldve clearly ended up like that or even worse. That moment of clarity made me appreciate my life, everything that is and everyone around me. I felt a satisfaction in my lesson learnt in the moment, nearing my building i notice something on the ground…looked like a 10 dollar bill, picked it up and yea it was a folded up 10 dollar bill. All i could say was,'Niiice. HA!' Anyways thought id share that story with you folks before gettin back to my school grind. Life is full of reason, i find it in everything. Word.
