slowly, and the fog was beginning to thicken, making the horizon invisible. In another place,

in another time, she would have felt the majesty of the beauty around her, but as she was

standing on the beach, she realized that she didn’t feel anything at all. In a way, she felt as if

she weren’t really there, as if the whole thing were nothing but a dream.

She’d driven there in the early morning, though she scarcely remembered the trip at all.

When she’d made the decision to come, she’d planned to stay there for the night. She’d

made the arrangements and had even looked forward to a quiet night away from Boston, but

watching the ocean made her realize that she didn’t want to do that any more. She would

drive home as soon as she finished, no matter how late it was.

When she was finally ready, Theresa slowly started to walk towards the water. Beneath her

arm she carried a bag that she had carefully packed that morning. She hadn’t told her family

what she was taking with her and what she intended to do today. Instead she’d said that she

was going Christmas shopping. It was the perfect excuse, and though she was sure that if

she had told them the truth they would have understood, this trip was something she didn’t

want to share with anyone. It had started with her alone, and that was the way she wanted it

to end.

Theresa sighed and looked at her watch. Soon it would be high tide, and it was then that she

would finally be ready. After finding a spot that seemed comfortable, she sat in the sand and

opened the bag. Searching through it, she found the envelope she wanted. Taking a deep

breath, she slowly lifted the seal. In it, there were three letters, carefully folded, letters that

she’d gone through more times than she could count. There were other items as well in the

bag, though she wasn’t ready to look at those yet. She continued to focus on the letters. He’d

used a fountain pen when he’d written them, and there were smudges in various places

where the pen had leaked. The paper was beginning to discolour in places, fading slowly

with the passage of time. She knew there would come a day when the words would be

impossible to read, but hopefully, after today, she wouldn’t feel the need to look at them so

often. When she had finished, she slipped them back into the envelope as carefully as she’d

removed them. Then, after putting the envelope into her coat pocket, she looked at the

beach for the last time before walking back to her car.

Tekst 2.

THE WORLD NEEDS MORE LOVE LETTERS

Letters have always been a big part of Hannah Brencher’s story. Her mum was never into

phoning, emailing, texting or any sort of social media, so when Hannah left home to go to

college, she kept in touch with her mum by letter. Her mother wrote every week, so Hannah

was soon on first-name terms with the local mailman. She eagerly looked forward to reading

all the details of how her family was doing.

When Hannah graduated from college, she almost immediately moved to New York. She

decided to go there as she had been offered what she thought was a dream job at the United

Nations. However, Hannah found it difficult to fit in. She didn’t enjoy her job and no matter

how hard she tried, she couldn’t form any meaningful friendships in the bustling city so she

felt desperately lonely and as a result began to suffer from depression. One day when she

was feeling down, she looked at the letters from her mother and thought she could reach out

to people in a similar way, so she put pen to paper and started writing letters to complete

strangers.

But these weren’t sad letters about how she was feeling. They were uplifting letters intended

to encourage those who read them. Her letters wished people to have a “bright day” and told

them how brilliant they were, even if they thought no one else had noticed. Hannah began

dropping the letters all over New York, in restaurants, libraries, parks or on the subway.

When Hannah wrote a blog post about what she was doing, she received hundreds of emails

from people asking her to write letters to them as well. The following year Hannah left her

full-time job to devote all her time and attention to The World Needs More Love Letters

campaign. One of her ambitions in her new role was to write a book about herself and the

campaign. However, she had no agent and no experience of writing books so she put the

idea off. Then, in 2012, she gave a TED talk about her campaign. It was seen by millions of

people and soon after she was offered a book deal by the Howard Books publishing

company. Her life story – If You Find This Letter was published in 2015.

Meanwhile The World Needs More Love Letters campaign has grown immensely, and now

there are over 10,000 people all over the world who are involved. Their letters are full of

kindness – telling people they are remarkable and special, which gives their recipients new

hope – the main aim for which the campaign was started. There are many people whose

lives have taken a turn for the better due to writing or receiving the campaign’s “love letters”.

A good example is a shy university student who left letters around her campus, only to

suddenly find everyone was writing them and hanging them on trees. Thanks to this, she

became part of a bigger group, which made her a much more confident person.
