Anonymous and Encouraging Message Posted in University Restroom
A photo of a notebook page taped to a bathroom wall at her university has gone viral because of its encouraging and positive message meant for women who have written on the stalls about some of their saddest life experiences.

A photo of a notebook page taped to a bathroom wall at her university has gone viral because of its encouraging and positive message.

The Reddit user, chellylauren, originally posted this introduction along with the message: "In a girls' bathroom stall at my university, girls have written about some of their most horrifying life experiences. This week, somebody replied."

The handwritten anonymous page read:

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.

Everytime (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.

After it was posted, messages of thanks were scrawled below:  "To the person who wrote this, thank you."
