“ You? you are always so positive! How did you do that?”
“I told him I did not like anything about him, really. I told him I did not like his name. In fact, it wasn’t only what I said. I also did pretty bad things to him. When he was hungry, I did not give him the chance to eat food. When he felt like doing something fun, I said to him that having fun was not worthwhile. And worst of all, when he was sick and needed , I did not care. I told him to get up and get to work. And when he did, I never told him he did good work. I was so ashamed him,” he said. “that I wanted to him, but couldn’t.”

So I told the man I had disliked for so many years that he was a good person .”

When 24-year-old Hannah Brencher moved to New York after college，she was hit by loneliness. One day she felt so that she want to reach out to someone. And so she put pen to paper and started writing letters-letters to complete .
But these weren’t letters about how she was feeling. There were happy letters，all about the other person，not her. She would write messages for people to have a “ day " and tell strangers how brilliant they were， they thought no one else had noticed. Brencher began dropping the all over New York，in cafes，in library books，in parks and on the subway. It made her letter，knowing that she might be making somebody’s through just a few words. It gave her to focus on. And so，The Word Needs More Love Letters was born.
The movement is all about letters—not emails，but handwritten letters. Not love letters，written to a real beloved，but letters for strangers. They don’t necessarily say “I love you”，but they are . kindness—telling people they are remarkable and 15 and all-round amazing. It’s the sort of stuff that most people don’t really say out loud even to the people they ，let alone a total stranger.
Brencher’s initiative(初衷) has now .There are more than 10,000 people who join in all over the world. Last year，she gave a talk. In it，she talked about a university student who dropped letters around her campus，only to suddenly everyone was writing them and there were love letters hanging from the trees.
It’s a very cute idea. I know that if I was on the end of a letter like that，it almost certainly would put a on my face. So I decided to give it a try and see if I could do the same for someone else.
