“Unforgettable Words: Discover the Heartwarming Secrets Behind 57 Life-Changing Conversations”
I didn’t think much of it at first, but when I was alone later, I broke down and cried for a few minutes. I didn’t even realize how much I’d been carrying all my life until that moment. It was a relief I can’t really describe, like a weight was finally lifted off my shoulders. I felt lighter, like I physically weighed less.
My boyfriend once asked me to help him understand a certain topic, and it was a busy time for both of us, i had long hours of school and so did he. I could only teach him a very little portion which wasnt even countable in a span of 2 hours. I apologised to him saying i couldnt help him(he had a test on it the next day). He said “You tell what’s better? A person giving the 1K out of the 1K they had to someone in need, or a person who gives 1K out of the 1Mil they have?” i said i dont know since i didnt understand what he meant. he said “it’s the former since the person gave away all they had, and in the same way, you had 2 free hours which you could have used to sleep(we were sleep deprived), but you chose to help me. and that’s all that matters to me” and it’s the best thing i’ve ever heard.
I’m a mental health nurse. I was with my brother in a mall one time when an ex-patient walked up to me and greeted me warmly. We chatted about how his life was going. He seemed to be doing well. He said to me, “Hey do you remember that time when you had to restrain me and put me in seclusion? You were really gentle with me and got everyone to calm down and go easy on me”. He turned to my brother and said “Your brother is one of the good ones”.
My good friend told me a few weeks before he succumbed to cancer that he was glad he knew me because i was “One of lifes good guys”
That was 6 years ago now and i still think about it.
I was getting picked on pretty bad in elementary school and finally one day I snapped and fought back to my bully. I felt really bad because I don’t like hurting people but f**k the chick wouldn’t leave me alone. I specifically remember my teacher telling me to “never feel bad for sticking up for yourself”. I’m in my 30s now and I still remember her saying that. And I have never let anyone else bully me again.
When my son,Bo, had a terrible car wreck and we were in the ICU for 10 days. I called my best friend for a pep talk. He told me that he knew I could do it and that I could do it with a smile. Then he told me the only person who would outshine me in that hospital would be Bo himself. It wasn’t a “you can do this”. It was a “you can do this and make it look easy”. It really made me realize my own strength. My son is all good now. Happy , healthy, and hard working.
Someone once told me that “the world would be a better place with more kind people like you.”.
I almost failed out a semester once but spoke with my professor about my situation. i had a very very unfortunate semester and he didn’t realize the grade given meant i couldn’t move forward.
he adjusted it and told me “i can’t wait for you to show everyone what you’re capable of” and it’s always stuck. he saw past a mentally bad semester and now shows up to all my final presentations!
Someone once told me, “You’ve shown me what patience looks like, and I’m learning to be patient with myself because of you.”.
After a year of dating, my GF (we’re both in our 50’s, both lost our spouses to cancer a few years ago) said ‘I love you!’. I never thought I’d hear that again.
“We’re very proud to have you as a grandson.”
I miss them both so much. Go hug your grandparents folks.
“I don’t need to go home, i’m already there” my gf in reference to hanging out with me.
My girlfriend recently texted me randomly during the day and said “you make it so easy for me to be happy no matter how hard it feels at times” and it’s just stuck with me.
The boys in high school rated us girls and I was a 7/10. It’s always affected me. About 6 years later it came up at my work place for whatever reason and I said I was a 7. A sweetheart of a guy instantly, without missing a beat said, “Out of 7 though right?!”
I went to the bathroom and cried. He has no idea how much he healed me with those words! 🥲 .
