It’s not unusual to walk into a ladies’ bathroom and see a host of graffiti on the walls. From proclamations of love to rude riddles and genuine life stories, the scribbles on the walls generally make for some interesting reading while you’re in the loo. However, the last thing you expect is for someone to respond to all these notes.
The Huffington Post reports that one Reddit user was surprised when she walked into a stall in the girls’ bathroom at her university and found a thoughtful and kind response writing by another woman addressed to women who had written some graffiti on the walls.
“In a girls’ bathroom stall at my university, girls have written about some of their most horrifying life experiences,” said Reddit user Chellylauren.
“This week someone replied,” she added.
Chellylauren then posted the following picture of the note she found:
This is the full text of the response, just in case you’re struggling to read the above:
“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.
Every time [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.”
We don’t know about you but this note definitely tugged on our heartstrings. This is proof that there genuinely are some really nice people out there in the world. What do you think?
