 I was at a coffee shop today with a friend and an older man (80's?) approached us and started talking about his experiences in military and other various topics, hardly any of which I could either hear or understand. He insisted on giving me his napkin of notes, chucked his large pack upon his back, and strolled off.

It made me kind of sad. I wanted to hug him. https://image.nostr.build/bdd3d5dbe239124b3deb7b105e25922378e2eb9bbf63b029deb3ee4730746895.jpg https://image.nostr.build/654199b1459e615490bb6b3342c6ab63c5ed8841e88c7cf2ab18c30f108d12c8.jpg
