    Everyone might be a kind person, but outside our family and friends, we don't often practice kindness. We work on being kind to our families, our friends, and hopefully ourselves , but being kind to a complete stranger is odd.

    Back in February of 2018, I decided that I wanted to invite complete strangers over for dinner for Valentine's day. On February 13, I went to Washington Square Park and began my quest. I was definitely nervous, but kept reminding myself that the worst that could happen was I'd get a bunch of no's. The world wouldn't stop spinning. I wouldn't lose a limb (上肢). I'd simply get a "no," and that would be it.

    Out of around 50 people that I asked, over 20 said yes and gave me their phone numbers. Later that day, I texted every single one of them. Fourteen didn't reply. Six said they couldn't make it. Two confirmed (and one of them was bringing his roommate, making it three definite yeses).

    Well, I was a little disappointed, as I expected more people to reply, but I couldn't complain. It's always easier to say yes in person and then refuse someone via text. Nevertheless, I wanted to try and get a few more people. I went on Instagram and started looking through my Instagram followers.

    I found a couple of people who were in their mid-20s, seemed sweet, and lived in New York. I directly messaged them and hoped for the best. One said she couldn't make it. Three people confirmed. Perhaps this wasn't going to be a failed mission after all — six people were coming over! Oh, and one cute pup too, as one of the girls whom I approached at Washington Square Park was bringing her dog.
