faith in humanity?

Last night was definitely one crazy night. I've never been in a situation where I had to help a friend who was completely incapacitated, and where I had to call out and seek help from complete strangers as well as other friends. I feel very grateful that complete strangers would stop to check up on us and to help us when we were unable to help ourselves, and I am very grateful for the friends that we do have that were able to come out and help us. I am so thankful that we have people that we can rely on and trust.

Last night we had a little too much fun at a party, and one of our friends had too much to drink. We were trying to walk home but our friend collapsed on the ground by the side of the streets. She did not and could not move, and we didn't know what to do. We couldn't lift her by ourselves and there was nobody else around. This one random guy passed by us and he said we must get her off of the streets before the cops see us. This guy literally grabbed our friend and lifted her up from the ground and moved her to the curb of the street. I don't know who this guy is, where this guy is from, but I can't thank him enough. All I thought about was how fucked we were and how in the world we were able to get home. I hate having to ask other people for help, I hate having to rely on others, and I hate having to bother other people. But we had no choice last night. There was no way in hell we could carry our friend back home, so frantically I thought of all the people that I know with a car and who would want to come out and help us. I called the first person I thought of, but in the back of my mind I was so worried that he wouldn't pick up or he wouldn't want to help us or he couldn't help us. We didn't know who else we could've called. If it wasn't for our friends that came, we would've been stranded out on the streets and our friend would've been in really bad shape.

What more can I say. I guess I'm just very grateful.
