Kindness Costs You Nothing

Copyrights BoredPanda, 2016.

It has been raining all day. I should be working, but I ended up Tumblr-ing. I was scrolling down to find something to excite me then I found this and cried. This was so beautiful I did not believe it happened.

L.A. based engineer Tim Murphy surprised his new wife Molly, who is battling depression, by leaving her 15 points love note on their bedroom mirror, listing all the reasons he loves her.

His wife who was feeling especially sad when she came home from a trip to San Fransisco she noticed that Tim had written a 15 point love on their bedroom mirror, called 'Reasons I love My Wife.'

"I'm not saying mental illness is cured by nice words on a mirror," stated Molly on Imgur. "In fact, it takes professional care, love, empathy, sometimes even medication just to cope. Many people struggle with it mental illness, more than we probably even realize... show them kindness and remind them things can and WILL get better. Everyone needs a little help sometimes. If that person can't be you, see if you have any resources for therapy.

The list says: she is my best friend, she never quits on herself or me, she gives me time to work on my crazy projects, she makes me laugh everyday, she is gorgeous, she accepts the crazy person I am, she's the kindest person I know, she's gone to a strip club with me, she has experienced severe tragedy yet is the most optimistic person about humanity I know, she has been fully supportive about my career choices and followed me each time, without realizing it, she makes me want to do more for her than I have ever wanted to do for anyone, she's done an amazing job at advancing her career path, small animals make her cry, she snorts when she laughs.

You know which point that hit my heart? "...she has experienced severe tragedy yet is the most optimistic person about humanity I know..." Hopeless romantic in me had a hard time resisting this one and it was relieving to know that I am not alone to get through this.
