This is going to sound stupid.

Essentially I was finishing my holiday in NYC yesterday. I was with my dad and we had some cases he said wait at the top with them and he’d bring them down slowly one by one.

My dad is 69 and he can’t really carry the 28kg anymore bc of arthritis and I have a bad ankle so couldn’t even help. Anyway I was waiting at the top while he slowly took them down. I had 2 cases next to me a whole carriage of a train emptied and they all walked past me and these huge cases. One guy left and turned back for me and he said hey let me grab those and take them down for you. He took one of the cases down and I thanked him quickly for doing so. I barely even got a chance to see what he looked like and he saw my dad and maybe got scared I was a minor (I’m 29 and look 29) but you can never be too sure as a guy I guess. But I never even got to see him properly I can recall him being decent looking but that’s not even the point. The point was around 50
people walked past me but one turned back and now I keep thinking shit I should have at least got his instagram. But it all happened so fast.

Also call me woo woo but I got on the subway train and it said “no ordinary love” plastered everywhere and mind you I took around 3 tubes a day in nyc and not once did I see that apart from then.

Idk this is partly venting but also partly I wish I could find him😂

He was just a kind stranger helping someone with their bags. A normal interaction, why would you ask for someone’s social media when you barely interacted at all? Seems odd.
