On March 31st, we hosted our first-ever event: If you’re reading this, please leave a message after the tone. We collected over 160 handwritten and over 40 voice-recorded heartfelt messages from our community and selected a handful to be showcased on our website. The voice-recorded messages will soon be available on our Instagram page, so follow us to stay updated on the release of these recordings and future letters from the NYU community.
“If you’re reading this, be kind, everyone is healing from something.”
“If you’re reading this, love is always in the air, and sometimes life is not fair. So, be a warrior if you dare, and live how you desire; without a care.”
“If you’re reading this, everything always works out for you.”
“If you’re reading this, be brave and faithful; keep the positive thoughts going.”
“If you’re reading this, take things slow and look around! Life is so beautiful and full of love if you stop to smell the roses! Keep going and enjoy the ride!”
“If you’re reading this, you should be proud because everything you’ve done has made you, you!”
“If you’re reading this, be positive always, but the hardest part is to stay positive. I believe in you.”
“If you’re reading this, everything will be okay at the end — if not, it’s not the end.”
“If you’re reading this, being open to changing your mind is what will make you great.”
“If you’re reading this, it’s okay to mess up. You will be fine. I love you!”
“If you’re reading this, you got this. You are such a big part of this world and will make such an impact.”
“If you’re reading this, everything you do is meaningful and everything you do has value. Keep your head up and everything will work out.”
“If you’re reading this, things might seem impossible at the moment, but you got this! You’ll shine brighter than the sunrise! :)”
“If you’re reading this, be grateful for everything, and love everyone. Everybody has bad days, but if you keep on doing good things, great things will happen to you! Have a wonderful day!”
“If you’re reading this, it’s okay to feel directionless. Bask in the unknown and celebrate the freedom you have in this moment!”
“If you’re reading this, comparison is the thief of joy! Keep pushing, Queen! You’re uniquely you!”
“If you’re reading this, learn from the past, live for the present, and prepare for the future. Nothing is certain, and you’ve already survived the worst day you’ve ever had. Keep going!”
