Dani Ruelas Jones-Nash was entering her job at Walgreens this week when she bumped into none other than Jill Scott, and the timing couldn’t have been better.

Nash opened up to the soul singer, crying and explaining that she had been struggling. That’s when Scott opened up and began crying and talking with Nash as if they had been friends forever and even offering her some touching words of encouragement, telling Nash to keep going.

“So, here I am, having the worst day of my life… I put on my smile for the world every day,” Nash wrote on Facebook. “It makes me happy to make others happy. But today was bad. And I decided “f**k it, face it anyways Dani. Don’t call out and crawl under your rock of depression until you recover like you always do. Go to work with your sad face on and be vulnerable. Don’t hide today and nurse your wounds, don’t wear the happy mask. Make this day better. Your steps are ordered by the Lord.”

She then goes to work and immediately notices Scott when she walks in.

As I’m walking up the stairs, I see a familiar face…she says “hello” and smiles (I was staring at her like I saw a ghost, and I did not have on my winged eyeliner or any lipstick so I was pretty scary )… I was still crying and started telling her about my horrible day… and pouring it out like a faucet (I kept telling her I promise I won’t make a scene) and she was more patient than my therapist, and ain’t nobody as patient as Denise Jones. She listened. I told her that my cousin loves her and I just did her nails because she is going to see her tonight and I don’t wanna take a picture with her cause of the obvious but I want to call my cousin (she didn’t answer )and take a pic for her. She said “no, you are gonna take it with me, as a matter of fact give me your phone, we gonna take a video”: Miss #JillScott
