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.
