The idea is simple: people use three words to describe their emotional state as a daily check-in. They can then write short, anonymous notes with strangers who chose similar words.

The motivation came from a personal experience.
There was a period where I felt pretty low. I knew what I should be doing to feel better, but I just couldn’t get myself to do it. At the same time, I noticed something interesting: when talking to other people, I could easily offer thoughtful advice and encouragement.
It made me realize: Sometimes we can’t help ourselves, but we can help someone else. And in doing so, we often end up helping ourselves too.

Also, just putting your thoughts into a short note seems to create a bit of distance and clarity. It makes you more aware of what you’re actually feeling, which often leads to better outcomes.
