to kirsten:

there's nothing like anonymous notes to brighten your hardest day. today was unusually awful, and i think bad days are overrated. it was third period, i was in sanderson's class because they were taking a test in my history class that i could not be present for. i was getting ready to study for that test and checked up on the fremont vs. lone peak semifinal game every now and then. just when i decided the rest of the day would go downhill, an anonymous note was delivered to me.

now, crying in public is not my thing, but i'll admit, i choked up, and i teared up a little. sometimes you feel so insignificant in this world. completely unaware of your effect on the people around you. it took someone else intervening to get me to take a step back and see what i am doing.

doubt and discouragement had me spiraling down, but a quite thanks turned things around.

whoever you are, just know that you have entirely made someone's day. that you have lightened a load, and served one of God's children. i couldn't be more thankful for your little letter. it's definitely something i needed to hear. i'm thankful that you are in tune with the spirit enough to feel the need to send that. you've incredibly impacted my life, and it's something i will never forget. thank you a billion times.
p.s. your handwriting is lovely.
