@TorontoBlonde When I went to university, a guy who did parodies of songs did that one, except it was “I’ve got seven but she wants nine” (you sang it in your head didn’t you ) and I can’t hear that song without thinking of him

i took a 45-minute uber ride home from the airport last night after a brutal, three-day business trip. i was completely emotionally and physically drained, and my social battery was at absolute zero. when i got into the car, the driver.. an older guy named kabir.. didn't say the usual "how was your flight?" or turn on the radio. instead, he just handed me a small, laminated piece of paper attached to the back of his headrest. it was a literal "ride menu." it said: 1. *the silent ride* (total quiet, no pressure to talk). 2. *the therapist ride* (if you need to vent about your day, i am listening). 3. *the tourist ride* (i will tell you cool facts about the city). 4. *the radio ride* (we just listen to old jazz and coast). i smiled, pointed to number 1, and whispered, "silent ride, please. thank you." he gave me a warm nod in the rearview mirror, adjusted the AC, and drove the entire 45 minutes in absolute, beautiful silence. it was the most peaceful, therapeutic boundary i’ve experienced all year. i felt my entire nervous system finally reset. when he dropped me off, i gave him a massive tip and told him, "that menu is a genius business idea. you must get amazing reviews." He looked back at me and said, "i didn't make the menu to get better tips, dear. my daughter has severe social anxiety, and she told me that the hardest part of her day is navigating small talk with strangers when her brain is tired. she told me it feels like running a marathon. i made the card so that anyone who gets into my car can feel completely safe dropping the mask for a little while." i walked into my apartment and just sat on my suitcase. we live in a world that is constantly screaming at us to perform, to network, to be "on," and to over-communicate. but sometimes, the deepest form of love and respect you can show another human being is just creating a small, safe pocket of silence for them to rest in. pay attention to the people who give you permission to be quiet. they are rare.

@newfienisey Boggles my mind why, I’ll be interested to see if Twitter does anything about it, FB certainly does nothing in my experience

@newfienisey I’m glad you were lucky, and I think getting hit by them is more common than we think. A good friend got hit by a deer recently, totaled his car, I can only imagine a moose.
