This concept is very near and hear to my heart. Driven by the fact I know very well sometimes we want to hear encouraging words but we are not ready to talk to anybody. 


It's dedicated to myself and everyone who needs a friend most... and maybe it'll inspire somebody to be a friend to a stranger one day.
