Valentine’s Day is known as a day when people are spreading joy to their loved ones, but, sometimes, people go the extra distance. An anonymous writer has been leaving love letters for unexpecting students around the school and bringing a hidden sliver of happiness.

So who is this masked cupid lifting the spirit of stressed high school teens? Sonali Mehta, sophomore, has been running the Lovejoy Love Letters account on Twitter, writing and hiding letters all over the school since January.

“I heard about someone doing something similar at a college and thought it was such a sweet idea,” Mehta said. “I wrote my first one and left it in a bathroom, and when I heard the person who found it talking about it, I knew I wanted to keep writing them.”

Sharing encouraging words to brighten the spirits of anyone and everyone has positively affected the community.

“Lovejoy Love Letters warms my heart because it shows me there are still good people out there in the world who care,” sophomore Morgan Garrett said.

When people find the letters they post a picture online and tag #foundlojolove so everyone can read the love letter. Even people without a significant other can feel the love.

“They’re just relevant to people’s lives,” Mehta said. “Not everyone has someone to remind them that they are amazing, so I take over that role where I can. I mean every word I write to every person who reads them.”

With the outburst of anonymous social media sites, Lovejoy Love Letters is trying to make a positive impression unlike some of the other sights that have turned to bullying, creating a negative impact.

“I think accounts like this definitely have a major [effect] on our community especially since we spend so much time on social media,” Mehta said. “It’s just up to you to choose to have a positive impact rather than a negative impact.”

Many people have someone to cuddle up with on Valentine’s Day, but others will be spending the day with Ben and Jerry’s and Netflix. The letters help everyone feel a little bit of love around the holiday.

“I found a letter in the bathroom,” freshman Pierce Goddard said. “It was a really cute thing for someone to do. Especially so close to Valentine’s Day.”

Sometimes people feel a bit gloomy around the holiday of love, but Lovejoy Love Letters is hoping to share a smile with others.

“One smile from one person, and everything I’m doing is worth it,” Mehta said.
