The anorexic girl tried to commit suicide, but the barista's smile saved her life.

At first glance, Bekah Georgy, who lives in New Hampshire, has the same cheerful smile as a girl her age, but few people can see at a glance that beneath her smile, she is full of self-loathing and is struggling with anorexia. Sometimes she's so miserable that she wants to kill herself... But on a particularly painful day, a Starbucks barista wrote a word on the cup that changed her life. And Becca wrote down her inner feelings and her gratitude to the barista.

"Dear barista: you don't know me and you don't know my story. Most importantly, you probably didn't know that writing the simple word 'smile' on my cup would turn me in a good direction that day. When you see me, you may think that I am happy, lively, outgoing and loving life, but you can't see the whole me. "

"you don't know that under this fake smile is a girl who has broken down and broken into pieces. You have no idea how self-loathing that girl is. She spent more than half her life starving herself. Or she has tried to end her life five times. " "I guess you don't know that in the past few weeks, especially this day, her life has been particularly difficult. You were just doing your job and didn't realize that writing a simple word on my drink would change my day and may have changed my life. "

"maybe you wrote 'smile' on my cup because you saw the feeding tube, or maybe you could see through my fake smile, because you were like me once. Anyway, I appreciate it. You don't have to do anything special for my order. You can treat me like another annoying customer, but you spend an extra second giving me more positive energy in my life full of negative thoughts at the time. "

"you know, I have terrible appointments and terrible treatments every day. I was full of despair and suicidal thoughts were getting worse and worse. When my anorexia was serious, coffee was the only thing I could drink, but I was afraid to drink it that day. If I hadn't got that cup of coffee, I might have done more harm to myself that night. When I saw that word, I really couldn't help smiling. "

Saved her life.

"A simple act of kindness to another person may be the whole world, giving hope to desperate people. Now I want to pass on this hope. So thank you, barista, for changing my day. " The words on the mirror: let go + let God love.
