My iPhone died and I got an eye infection within a week.

When the iPhone went, I had no spare and spent a 3 hour round trip in the morning to go and buy a new one.

I got home… and it didn’t bloody work.

Another 3 hour round trip that evening only to be told “we can’t help you now, come back tomorrow”.

I was in a foreign country without a working phone.

No banking access, no rideshare access, no google translate, no maps.

(Crazy to think this used to be the normal)

I also can’t complete some key tasks for my business.

Safe to say I started to stress a little.

But then one of the workers in the store went out of his way and against store policy to give me a ‘loan’ phone.

“Take this now, leave the new faulty one with us, come back tomorrow night”.

Another 3 hour round trip and it was sorted.

Fast forward 5 days, I’m riding my scooter and feel something flick into my eye.

I brush it off, think nothing of it and go to meet a friend for lunch.

I go home to see yellowy pus leaking out of my dark red left eye. It feels like I’ve got something stuck in there.

I wash it out and it feels a little better, however, the next day it’s gotten worse.

I message a couple clinics nearby and they say I’d need to go to the hospital to see an ophthalmologist to be safe and rule out eye damage.

Damn okay.

I’m 50minutes into the ride to the hospital when vision in my left eye starts to go blurry.

I can’t seem to blink it away and I start thinking, “cool, what if it’s permanent?”.

Now I’m stressing again.

I get to the hospital to find the specialist had gone home an hour before and won’t be back for 2 days.

Shit.

Luckily for me, instead of telling me to go home or to another hospital, a GP said she’d be willing to have a look.

“Looks more like an infection, take these drops now and come back Monday if it doesn’t improve”.

It immediately starts to feel better and I was able to safely drive home.

Now I know these are minor obstacles and first world problems.

But the moral of the story is, choose kindness when you’re confronted with the opportunity.
