A friend once told me about a time they missed their train by just a few minutes. Frustrated at first, they decided to grab a coffee at a nearby café while waiting for the next one. As they sat down, they struck up a conversation with a stranger who was also waiting. What started as a simple chat turned into an hour of sharing stories and laughs. By the time the next train arrived, they felt like they had made an unexpected new friend. That day, a small inconvenience led to an unexpected, memorable encounter.
