Love, A Kid on the StreetWrite a Letter to a Stranger Who Left a Positive Impact on Your Life
Dear Stranger,
You told me to smile. Not because I’d be prettier if I smiled. Not because my resting face made you uncomfortable. Not because I was a girl. I think about this moment a lot: the way you made me feel; the way you looked when we met eyes, and how nearly t…read more

Wow, it’s amazing how the slightest thoughtful gesture can deeply touch a person, especially a child. And it is amazing how people can see on our faces, what we truly think is hidden from the world. Im glad in that moment this stranger made you feel seen but also allowed you to see yourself and feel your emotions. This piece is beautiful. Thank…read more

Stacee M WrightI spent long hours working overnight at the mall to support myself through school, and when my shift was over the sun was coming up and you were always right there, yet you never uttered a word. It almost felt like you were waiting for me. The same time, same spot, and same bus number every morning I came out. I never knew your name and you never…read more

And even when it feels like you’re on a hamster wheel, please know that you are…read more

Thank you so much Lauren for your words of encouragement. I was going through soooo much at that time in my life, and someone I didn’t know had so much love for me. Life can make us feel like we’re running in place sometimes but encouragement is so important it’s underrated.

This story brought tears to my eyes and warmed my heart. For so many different reasons. We never really know our guardian angels. They just seem to pop in our lives and leave their mark on our hearts when desperately needed. You are a strong, smart, amazing and all around wonderful lady. Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience with the…read more

EmilyHello stranger,
We had only just met. But you knew even better than I that the relationship we were about to form was an intimate one. Professional, of course. But oh so close. You had done this before; a seasoned veteran of compassion and skill. My husband and I were new to this. I am sure you could sense it, noticing our tears and voices that…read more

Emily, It is in our most vulnerable moments in life that kindness matters so much. I am so glad you had a nurse that cared about you and your baby and I’m more glad that your baby is OK. This is such a beautiful tribute to someone who does their job with both diligence and compassion. I am sure this nurse would be so touched to know that the way…read more

Thank you kindly, Lauren, for your sweet words and understanding the magnitude of appreciation in my (and my family’s) hearts. It is an honor to be here; I appreciate the opportunity and the your platform greatly. -Emily

Nicole KisslingerDear Stranger,
Today you walked passed me at the local mall. It was a cloudy, overcast afternoon and you were walking with a friend. I was walking alone. We were headed in two completely different directions. You stopped your conversation with your friend to tell me I looked pretty.
What was a small gesture of kindness, changed my entire…read more

J. St. C.Dear Samurai,
You are a stranger to me, long dead, from the 14th century. I found your words in The Book of Runes my lover once gave to me. On page 87.
I don’t know what it is that I truly believe, but your anonymous ancient words act as a role model now for me. Those twenty one statements: I say them every morning. Or try to. I know them by h…read more

Reagan M FryerTo the stranger who pulled me out of the car:
We will likely never see each other again. When time slowed and my car was thrown across two lanes, I feared I would never see my family again, either. That was the most vulnerable minute of my life when the clock slowed.
My brain reverted to its earliest infant form- “What is happening?” “You were…read more

You saw me with panic wrapped around my shoulders like a cloak and you came.

Its timbre and tone strike the strings of my heart
That string, once made of steel, strongly wrapped around a core

And how a single exam, can determine my future
But yet- my heart listens for that…read moreVoting is closed

Josie, I absolutely love this piece. It is so sweet! Music is so healing and so powerful.
