Dear person who held the door,
You made my day. How could such a little action of little effort make someone's day? Well, you don't know my story; you don't know what happened. You holding that door and giving me a smile caused a chain reaction. I thought the world was out to get me but you proved that wrong. Thank you for such a kind gesture; you do not know what that meant.
From,
A stranger
Dear person who helped me up,
When I tripped and fell, I dropped all of my books. I scraped my knee and felt embarrassed. I am so clumsy and no one ever helps me up. But then I saw your hand to help me up. As you helped lift me up, you said, "don't worry, I fall all the time." I smiled and thought of my life differently. People do care and people are clumsy like me. Thank you for your help, it really meant a lot.

Dear people across the nation who subconsciously make someone's day,
Not all heroes wear capes. The little things, that no one ever thinks are important, make this world a better place. Whether it be a smile, a simple "hello, how are you", a tissue or keeping a door open, you impact a stranger's life.
The reason why I am writing this piece is to stress how, with merely no effort, you can make society better. I have always heard stories about depressed or suicidal individuals failing to commit suicide because a simple gesture someone did.
"They held the door and smiled, and I knew I had a purpose on this earth."
"I thought I was invisible, until someone noticed me. I have worth, I am more than I think I am."
It's the little things that matter the most.
From,
A simple girl trying to make a difference
