you were on a bicycle, going through the cemetary and presumably across robie afterward.
i was walking down the sidewalk with 2 coffees as it started to rain.
you told me i have a beautiful smile, and you totally made my day.
thank you so much! your most sincere compliment couldn't have come at a better time!
if i hadn't been so caught off guard i would have likely said more than just "thanks!" in return —black & blue stripes

i'm still waiting to be cher in clueless.
and to be the cheerleader dating the football player.
or to just live out one of those pre-planned cookie cutter lives that *work* for people.
instead i'm a statistic, six ways from sunday.
i can change the course of my life if i want to, but i'm still going to end up the same place everyone else does.
whether or not i own a house, or a car. if i ever have a career, or get married, or have children.
i still have to live in a society that's falling apart, under societal norms i find abhorrent.
the three big C's, consumerism, capitalism, conservatism.................
therefore, i'm beginning to debate the other side of life.
maybe, just maybe, if every individual strived for nothing more than their own happiness, contentment, serenity.
and showed nothing but the same for everyone they encountered.
then i wouldn't have to be sitting here cruising an obstacle course between minimum wage and liveable income. —i <3 halifax

Your message made me feel better and giggle after a shitty day. You know maybe if you were still around you could tap that; only if that wasn't a generic made up message. I may never know you, but thanks. —Heavenly Blessed Beauty

While cycling home with a blueberry crop
boxed in my bike bag, I heard the load drop;
I sidelined the bike; got down with a hop;
slowly turned to a sight that made my heart stop.
As swift as a seagull, a man on his board
swung 'round and swooped in on the black lump, unmoored;
reached down with one hand while the wheels spun and roared;
picked it up on the move; laid it down. I was floored!
A two-second ballet improvised on the spot;
a good deed done drama; no video shot
so its story and hero I hereby do jot
to tell him his cool act was full of kind thought.
—JL

Keep up the good work! —Creighton St.

To the two mohawked heroes in the blue VW who helped me push my shitbox car down the Bedford Highway to the nearest gas station, you may have saved my fat arse from a heart attack. Thank you! —Empty by the road

You likely won't ever know how much I appreciate old lady walks around halifax, those stupid grins you get, the way you tease me.

We both needed someone to give a shit, and I just wanted to say that it's been really great so far. I don't mind spending my nights spooning & watching bad Netflix, or walking around the boardwalk until I almost pee my pants.

You're great. I'm not going anywhere. Let's build eachother back up. —Shmoopy.

Just a thanks to the nice guy who ran to return my sons spiderman hat when we dropped it walking to the bus stop in the rain. I was on my way back for it - when around the corner comes this nice fellow running to catch up with us with hat in hand. Much appreciated !! It's his absolute favorite and he would have been crushed without it. Many good karma blessings upon you :) —Relieved Mom

To the person of conscience (formerly thieving asshole) who decided the picture of the dog meant more to us than it could to them: thank you. Recognizing the worth of property to other people and respecting that worth is one of the first steps along the road to principle. Everyone at sometime makes impulsive decisions. Those people on the way to becoming truly adult recognize a mistake and take action to correct it. You rock, and you're now one of the reasons I can't give up believing in people. THAT makes me feel even better. —You're now why I can't give up on people.
