Have you ever helped someone who was going through the same thing as Past You?

I was walking home as I was listening to a song and enjoying the breeze on my face, as I saw a woman grabbing the wall limping and trying to reach the door of our community.

As someone who has just recovered from a severely broken leg, and a surgery, I knew the trouble she was going through, now that I am walking again after 3.5 months of crutches, and now that I am independent and stronger again, I felt the urge to help her,

The way people helped me in the past.

I held her hand and we walked together to the gate.

It felt strangely wonderful, to be of a tiny help to someone who’s going through the same pain, that I have already recovered from.

This experience was worth it, if I am going to be of a help to other people and be more empathetic.
