Over Mother's Day weekend my bf and I were dealing with some relationship issues. Saturday was tough and I was pretty depressed so I went to get some food alone in Clayton Park. A lady said she loved my tattoos as she walked by. Just to have someone smile at me and say something nice really brightened my day and made me choke up a bit. Then the next day my bf and I were getting out of the fog and decided to go for a drive together, which was really nice to start to mend after the fight. A stranger paid it forward at the drive thru and paid for our coffee. Again, having someone be nice (even in a small way) really made me feel good inside. So thank you to both strangers. Your small act of kindness can sometimes really lift someone up when they need it most. —Purple-Haired Lady

6 months ago I wanted to tell you that we should give it all up and just be together. But now, you've got someone amazing, and I do too. You and I together wasn't the answer. And that took us a long time to figure out. But I'm so proud of you, and of us, and the love that we have as friends is something pretty magical. Here's to us, and to them! —Your BFF

I want to send my plea of remorse to those who I'd been a bully to in Jr. High, 10 years ago. I was a meanie meanie bo beanie and I am more sorry for this than anything else in my life. I wish I could take back every nasty word I'd spoken, every punch thrown, and every time I excluded you. If there is anything in this world that I understand is being bullied, but I was just as bad as those who had persecuted me. I hope to send love to anyone who was bullied, especially those who felt it from me. For myself and all remorseful Jr. High bullies, I am sorry, you are not what I was trying to convince you that you were in Jr. High. You were good enough to be included in my group of friends, I was just too stupid to realize. —Remorse filled ex-bully

You make me so comfortable yet too anxious to say anything. Age is just a number. Our mutual awkwardness could be the perfect match. —awkward girl

Thank you to the passerby who called the fire department to Creighton Street last Friday. You helped prevent the fire from spreading to all of the attached buildings on either side and likely saved an entire block from going up in flames. —Lil Smoky

I see you every morning at the Starbucks in the north end. You have short dark hair, are always dressed impeccably and drive a little green Mini. I think you are as cute as they come, but it's the way you carry yourself with such confidence that makes you so beautiful. One of these mornings I'll work up the courage to say hello. —Mr. Americano

Even if they don't see this, I just want to thank the amazing bosses that I work for. I’ve read so much hate about bosses around the city, especially from serving staff, and it makes me feel even more appreciative of the amazing work family and bosses I have. From making a very comfortable work environment, letting us know that we can be who we want and that they are there for us, to making us food at work when were feeling drained. I feel like they don't get the appreciation that they deserve all of the time, but trust me there are amazing bosses out there and I hope that some day everyone can experience a good workplace like I do. —Appreciative Cheesecake Server

You are a strong, resilient, beautiful human being. A glowing soul on the darkest of days. I know you are living silently through a nightmare and I am the only person you told. I can't even begin to imagine how you are feeling at this moment. My heart aches for you, not as a past lover, but a current friend who deeply cares about you. I will always be here and will support you no matter what. You are incredible, powerful, intelligent, curious, compassionate and you deserve the best this world has to offer. —Forever yours
