I Think R/BenignExistence Is My Favorite Subreddit 🥲 I Love These Pleasant Little Glimpses Into Strangers'

all image descriptions are of posts from the Benign Existence subreddit: I just got a call from my 94 year old neighbor. He told me he just picked some blackberries and wanted to know if I would be home. I told him yes and he said he would walk on up, to deliver them, as we live in a neighborhood in the foothills. I met him at the end of our driveway with a big smile. He was wearing a straw hat to keep the sun off of him. He held a little clear tray with his shaky hands. On the tray were three little green baskets (the kind strawberries come in) FULL of beautiful blackberries. I took them, thanked him, and gave him a loaf of banana bread that I baked yesterday. I truly have much gratitude for our kind neighbors.
A stranger asked to borrow my sunscreen. We were in a bathroom/changing room at a beach. I honestly felt honored that she asked and was overjoyed to share it. I love random human connection.
I just realised my cat is polite when she thinks I'm asleep. If I'm awake when she jumps on the bed, she snuggles roughly into my shoulder and does head boops. If I appear to be asleep and don't respond to her, she quietly curls up near the other pillow without lots of movement
I love that I have a window in my bathroom. I can shower in the early morning without having to turn on the light and just bask in those first few rays of sunshine filling the room. Sometimes I can even hear birds chirping. It makes me genuinely happy.
My sister overnighted me crabapple flowers. We grew up with a crabapple tree in the front yard. Every spring it would erupt into white flowers that filled the air with this beautiful scent. My sister and I would climb up into the branches and read our favorite books and just inhale the smell of those flowers. I moved across the country years ago, and crabapple trees don't grow here. It's been over a decade, and I miss that smell every spring. I don't remember ever mentioning that to my sister, but I must have - because today I got a box from her, shipped Priority Express Overnight. It was three small crabapple branches, stems wrapped in damp towels, covered in flowers just starting to bloom. The house smells beautiful. I am so lucky. My sister is the best.
People who stand in their yard and wave at passing trains, I love you so much. I'm going Brattleboro -> NYC on Amtrak and it's a beautiful day. All the sweet little humans are out. EDIT: I realize I worded the title strangely, I was caught in a reverie or something.
Had a really pleasant experience at the Social Security office I've been going through the legal name change process for trans reasons, and last Friday I went to request an updated social security card. The clerk was so sweet! She noticed that I was changing to a feminine name and asked if I'd like to change my gender marker as well, and told me they didn't even need a court order for changing it on their system. At the end she told me that name changes and citizenship cases are her favorites to handle because of how happy it makes the client :) She also said that I should get some cake afterwards to celebrate. So I did! Went out for fancy Italian food with some friends (I framed it as "they specifically said I NEED to get cake for the name change to go through" Imao) and got a chocolate lava cake
called in sick from work, but in reality i just love my bed i just wanted to sleep in today. even though i felt a little under the weather, i probably could've mustered up some energy to go to work today to finish off my work week. but i woke up this morning, and it was raining outside. i also forgot to turn off my speaker, and it was playing animal crossing music really softly. my blanket was laid out on top me in that perfect way that makes you not wanna move an inch. i love my bed. it smells like how i feel after ive just had a long warm shower, and my pillow smells like my laundry detergent and also faintly like my shampoo. my blanket is so warm and fluffy, so i texted my supervisor. then i noticed my dog snoring in her bed, so i decided to fall back asleep too and we both took a nap. it didn't stop raining till i woke up a little after noon. i love my bed and i love rainy days.
Guy in my German class brings me snacks. We don't speak the same language and barely get by with English but he gives me kitkats and a red bull as a thank you when I help him with exercises. He teaches me Arabic during breaks and then we just eat our snacks and try to talk about what we can. I think it's very sweet. I'll bring him some snacks too for next class

i think r/BenignExistence is my favorite subreddit 🥲 i love these pleasant little glimpses into strangers' lives

No one I've seen who's played echoes of wisdom has pointed out yet that Tri (obvi referencing the triforce) is also just. Zelda's Fi. And I NEED people to notice this so we can get fanart of Fi and Tri interacting
