Top 3 reasons you SHOULD talk to strangers (as long as your mom says it's ok)

1. You will always learn something about the world from someone else.
Whether its their job, background or ideas people love to share these things. Most of the time.
 I always come away with more of an appreciation about where I am from or what I am doing when I hear about someone else's struggles and victories.

2. You will always learn something about yourself while interacting with someone else.
I have dealt, and I mean "dealt", with some pretty interesting people over the years. I ALWAYS come away with something about how I reacted to the situation. Some people don't need any "dealing" with. Some people are just nice, or some people aren't nice but they keep to themselves, either way I am always responsible for how I "deal" with whatever it is they are willing to hand me.
If I don't want to be like them I teach myself what it is that I didn't like, and I don't judge them for it, I thank them for the lesson.

3. It never hurts to have more friends. 
Sometimes you just meet people with sweet hook ups or hobbies and you get to hang out. Sometimes, you never see them again but you get to be a part of their lives for those moments. I met a baby on the max once. Her name was Bailey, and she was on her way to the doctor with a fever. You could tell mom wasn't feeling so hot either. When I made eye contact with Bailey she stopped crying and she held my hand until their stop. Mom got a break and my estrogen got to feel like I was letting it do its job. Sometimes I still look for them.
