I just wanted to tell the story about some of my encounters with people which had low odds of happening.

I was born in a super duper small town in Pennsylvania. I’ve met so many people from PA that don’t even know the town exists.

When I was living in Europe, I was at a house party and I was talking to this girl who did an exchange program. Guess where she did her semester? That super small town no one has ever heard of. She even knew a few people I grew up with.

Another time, I was walking in a random Spanish town with some random person, and who do I see walk by but some kid I went to high school with. We just sort of pointed at each other, confused, laughed and both kept walking past.

I love shit like that
