A few kind words can help someone feel less alone. Waves of Hope is a place to share a message of encouragement that The I’m Glad You Stayed Project may feature on social media. Write to a friend, anyone who needs to hear it, or even yourself.

Who’s your wave for?

Someone you know

Dedicate a note to a friend, classmate, or someone who matters to you.

Anyone who needs it

Share words you wish everyone having a hard day could hear.

Yourself

Write a reminder to your future self that you’re worth caring for.

What could you say?

There’s no perfect way to do this. A sentence, a short note, or a few lines of poetry can be enough. Try starting with “I hope you know…” or “If today is hard, remember…” Make it sound like you.

Because we may share your words on social media, only submit something you’re comfortable seeing publicly. If your message is for someone else, leave out private details and ask before using their name.
