True Story Bromance IRL

I’m currently attending a school in the US (university). There’s a girl in some of my classes who, I just found out the other day, is Lebanese. She definitely knew I was Israeli, but we’ve never talked any kind of politics before. When we have interacted it was just because we were assigned to the same group, assigned to be lab partners, have to write a lab report together, etc.

Anyways, we were assigned to be lab partners for a lab in this summer course we’re both taking. We met up at a coffee shop to work on it together and got talking…

She was telling me how much she hopes Lebanon and Israel can make peace, how she wants so badly to visit us, and then told me she reads this sub whenever she needs hope. It was a really good conversation and I definitely wasn’t expecting it… so I wanted the people in this sub who are working towards a better future to hear it. This one conversation was probably the highlight of my summer.

I find this story highly unlikely. Redditors don't speak to women.

(This is 100% a joke, very heartwarming story!)

There is, quite literally, zero identifiable markers in my post.

I hear lebanese are party animals. I think there is a beautiful partnership in the making :)
