A total stranger paid for my hotel room in Chicago. Literally just b/c he overheard me trying to figure out wtf do while stranded on an overnight trip back to NYC. It's a long story from a 3 day trek from St. Louis to NYC,  right in time for New Year's Eve. And in all that adventure, I learned a pretty dope lesson about the kindness of others. I also slept through most of New Year's Day.
