Words of Encouragement from a Stranger

Coping

Today, I received a much needed email about my honors thesis project. This person wrote,

“I don’t fit the demographic for your project but I wanted to email you anyway. Your project sounds profound and noble. It is a very interesting variation from the typical advocacy against abuse strategies. Photographs, after all, are worth a thousand words. Meaningful photography is worth a million words. Good luck!”

Sometimes we all just need a little bit of encouragement. This person’s positivity and kind words meant the world to me. It seems to me like they understand the true intentions behind my work.
