Dear 3ros,

I attended yesterday's fuck-up story night. I wanted to see if I could figure out who you are. There were 14 people on stage. Six male, eight female. Based on your notes inside the female restroom and outside the male restroom, I guess you are female. So there are eight candidates. Four of those eight have studied here already for more than two years. And in one of your notes, you mentioned that you just started your studies here. That was nearly one year ago. So there are four attendees that could be you: Emily, Johanna, Louise or Chloe.

I think you could be Louise or Chloe. Why? Because of the story you told. Thank you, by the way, for sharing it. All four shared strong messages.

But I think you are Louise, because she talked briefly about those notes. I mean, all participants mentioned them because you are our very own university mystery, and we love what you do. But she/you said in your speech:

"(...) These notes are basically love notes minus love to all of us: the student body, everyone in need. These notes show care for our wellbeing well out of the range of just love-related questions. The author is as insecure about love as we are, as we can see by comments and questions left on these notes. Still, the author sends us their very own kind of love notes that ask questions about the base: trust, vulnerability, confidence, compassion, accountability. Because when you substract love from love notes, notes remain. You write notes to take care of necessities and keep track of your tasks and accomplishments. It's the same with these feelings. They should be nourished and respected attentively. "

Louise hit the nail on the head: Love Notes Minus Love. I think that you, 3rosToB3, must be Louise. And you ATE!

I am going to keep your secret. But girl, step out of your comfort zone and show the world what an amazing creative person you are. Write a blog, publish a collection, create Instagram and get the recognition and reach you deserve.

You can do it.

Hugs,
X
