Slow Dance with Kindness
In my first year of high school, I was the fat unpopular kid that had about 2 people that I could comfortably talk to.
I was pressured into going to the social dance that year and did my thing of standing aside or making idle chatter with some of the teachers and making every effort I could to be on the other side of the room from the kids that would make life difficult for me at every opportunity.
Then some slow music came on and after a few seconds, some very lovely hearted girls darted around the room and grabbed any solo boy that they could find and gave them the privilege of dancing with them (or, more accurately, simply having someone to dance with).
One of them came right for me, and it wasn’t even that I was the only one left to pick. For that one song I knew kindness and friendliness and I haven’t forgotten it to this day. Story credit: Reddit / Dr_Chops
