I thought this was an amazing story. At this university young women right messages on the bathroom stalls about the hardships of their lives. An anonymous women wrote a letter back to the messages encouraging the young women and praising them for their strength. I love positive articles like this. I love when people take time out of their lives to better the lives of others. The person who wrote this touching letter to women she didn’t even know is an amazing person. It’s inspiring and encouraging. I think we should all try and take time out of our lives to help someone in need. A Reddit user posted a photo of a poignant message that she found taped to the stall in a women’s restroom at her university. The user, chellylauren, wrote: “In a girls’ bathroom stall at my university, girls have written about some of their most horrifying life experiences. This week, somebody replied.” The reply, written on notebook paper, is anonymous.letter The reply in full: To the girl who was raped: You are so strong. I cannot fathom the pain you must have gone through. The fact that you have the bravery to write it (even on a bathroom wall) gives me hope. To the girl with eating disorders: I promise you, although I don’t know you, you are beautiful, you deserve your health. You deserve freedom from that hell. To the girl with the alcoholic father: I am so sorry for the agony it must cause. Again, such courage is remarkable you must be such a strong person to see such pain. To the girl whose father died: Missing them never goes away. The ache of their absence never goes away. But the love they had, the memories you share surely must last. I am sure, out of the bottom of my heart, the people who have left you in this world are exceptionally proud of the person you are. Everytime (sic) I see these walls, these confessions, I feel so blessed to know I have the priviledge (sic) of seeing them. Your moments, these secrets, are all precious even though they are sad. To all of you (including those I did not mention, and those who have not yet written) -You are worthy. -You are strong. -You are brave. -You are loved. -Somebody cares. Written below that, somebody penned a quick response: “To the person who wrote this, thank you.”
